There are “Throwback Thursdays” and there are “Throwback Thursdays.”

Remember the time when street magician David Blaine levitated on the street?

No big deal, right?

Obviously, there’s a trick to this. One really needs to see it and experience it live, but it’s certainly entertaining and a surreal sight nonetheless.

Technically, is this kind of magic an ancient throwback to the past or a pioneering nod to the future of illusions for the 21st century?

Either way, at least we know today is Thursday.

No trick there.
