But David Blaine pulled off his most amazing feat so far when he made Kanye West smile on national television.
The 40-year-old had the rapper giggling like a giddy schoolgirl after sticking an ice pick in his hand on his TV special Real Or Magic on Tuesday night.
Giggling like a schoolgirl: Kanye West gasped then burst into laughter on David Blaine: Real Or Magic on Tuesday
So you can imagine Kanye's surprise when David grabbed his icepick and preceded to stab himself through the hand anyway moments after completing the feat.
Explaining what he was doing, the witty warlock said: 'See this is ultimately this is what they want to see Kanye.
'See that? Ultimately in magic that's what people care about it's that. You see, see? That's really what they want to see.'
Bag man: Kanye hid the pick under paper while his good friend Woody Harrelson watched in amazement
Impressed: Kanye could scarcely believe his eyes as he swigged away on a glass full of juice
Piff paff poof: The Great Soprendo himself would be impressed as David was left unharmed after Kanye pulled out the pick
Wand-erful stuff: He was almost as amazed as when Kim Kardashian accepted his marriage proposal
'Nothing, no blood. Nothing, like I promised.
It was just one in a sequence of thrilling stunts that showcased the prodigious prestidigitator's gregarious personality and natural showmanship
As well as a series of baffling card tricks, the powerful sorcerer also showed his ability to spit out vast quantities of water, before upping the ante and vomiting kerosene on a lit suitcase in front of Robert DeNiro.
Bob told him afterwards: 'You want an Alka-Seltzer?'
Bottoms up: Bob De Niro watched closely as the man of mystery swigged away on a glass of kerosene
Just in case: He shot the kerosene into this innocent looking piece of baggage and it burst into flames
Practice makes perfect: David started his unusual quest by spitting water into Woody Allen's bathtub
And when he produced a card from an orange inside Harrison Ford's kitchen, the visibly shocked actor told him: 'Get the f*** out of my house. Woah.'But he saved the biggest reaction for the close of the show, when he once again showcased his ability to push sharp instruments through his body, this time his right bicep, for Ricky Gervais.
He told him: 'That's ridiculous. No, no, no, what happened there, seriously.
'What the f*** seriously. That's mental. David seriously this isn't a trick your just sticking a needle through your f***ing arm. Its horrible.
Ford focus: Harrison almost had a heart attack when the powerful wizard produced a card from one of his oranges
Wonderful misdirection: The canny conjurer could
sneaked an elephant into the handbag while viewers were staring at
saucy popstrel Katy Perry
More wonderful misdirection: They say never do
the same trick twice but Olivia Wilde was surely drawing more stares
than David's sleight of hand
And after taking him up on his offer to pull it, Ricky was stunned the powerful mage was left unharmed.
He said: 'That's real! For f*** sake. That's real, he stuck a needle through his arm, you saw it.
'He couldn't have. There's no way to do it. How did you do it? WHY did you do it?
'Either it's the best illusion I've seen close up, or your a maniac. Either way well done.'
Magic with meaning: The warlock showed off another of his skills as he stuck a needle in his bicep
He's no Wayne Dobson: But Ricky Gervais could not believe his eyes as the mystery man impaled himself
Derren Brown trousers: The funnyman was genuinely disturbed after pulling the needle from David's arm
