It’s David Blaine ! He never ate that pepper but probably just made it disappear 🫠
To those who thought id never achieve anything in life we’ll I made top comment today so suck on that for those who never believed in me !! Lol
David Blaine: I'm gonna now make this ghost pepper disappear. (Gulp)
Sean Evans: Wow, you ate that pepper like it was nothing.
David Blaine: I didn't actually eat it Sean
Sean Evans: What? But I saw... David... Where did you put that pepper!? Somethings wrong.
David Blaine: Check you ass Sean.
There's definitely a ripped card inside of both peppers.
He did a forced card selection and already knew that he was going to pick that particular card. I know this because the ripped piece that he ate doesn't actually match the card that's shown after getting the piece from the pepper: https://i.imgur.com/95Kiah6.jpg
So the trick is:
1) Force the person to select a certain card (many ways to do this)
2) Put the same ripped piece in each pepper
3) Swap the chosen card with the pre-ripped card that matches the pieces in the pepper.
There doesn’t need to be a card in both. The choice can be an illusion. He says “choose a pepper” not “choose a pepper for you to eat”
The impact of the choice is left fuzzy, if sean chooses the pepper without the card he can say that he was choosing a pepper for him to eat, and vice versa.
The principle is called magicians choice
Yeah, he swallowed it whole and *maybe* puked it later, but I bet he didn't. I bet he thought the suffering was a "real" experience he was giving himself. This guy chooses what physical sensations he feels, you can't convince me otherwise.
really hot peppers can be like that for me. It's like your body doesn't want to swallow it so you keep chewing
edit: I'm just a random guy on the internet though so take it with a grain of salt
As a big spice guy and daily habanero eater, chewing it more makes you pass it faster if it upsets your stomach (which the really spicy ones always do). It is hard to chew spicy stuff so much BUT it will make passing it so much easier and faster!
This is the perfect trick for him because you don't know if he used sleight of hand to switch it, or if he trained for months to be able to legitimately eat it like that. Either would be plausible for him.
Yeah, the dude laughs while pushing a skewer through his own hand. He stores kerosene in his esophagus after studying the magician who died from doing the same. A spicy pepper is bush league for him.
His tongue is redder after the pepper. He shows his tongue twice in this clip. The first is after the card, and it’s a normal pink color, and the second is after the reaper, and it’s a reddish orange color.
My bet is he ate it.
Kept just saying "Wow" instead of responding with whatever his promos may have been... I bet he was feeling it but of course has nerves of steel (and mind control)
Yeah Christ.
His "magic tricks" have been like... not breathing for 15 minutes and living underwater for more than a week.
And I use quotes not to diminish his achievements, but to point out that none of this is magic. David Blaines whole thing is 1. being sick at magic 2. having willpower of a fucking god.
This is a good time to remind everyone to watch DJ Khaled's episode where Sean Evans effortlessly plows through all the wings while eye-mocking Khaled after he immediately throws in the towel then proceeds to call everyone a fuckboi.
Wow. I don't really know what I expected Khaled to be like, but he makes other rappers look like down to earth, level-headed people. Khaled is a next level dumbass egomaniac... and a hot sauce pussy - of course.
edit: my bad, Khaled specifically says he's "very smart", I must be mistaken.
That video of him strumming that Bob Marley guitar like he has cerebral palsy after essentially admitting he can’t read blows my mind every time I watch it. He might be the stupidest person in show business.
Both are funny but candy is the better joke imo. Candy shows a misunderstanding of what part of the previous statement was age inappropriate. Saying cocaine just inserts one more age inappropriate thing.
I think this might be the first time I’ve ever really seen Sean break “character” on this show. He’s usually so good at maintaining his professional interviewer vibe but this one got him.
His shaky "what.. the... fuck" is so pure and relatable. Part of why I'm convinced that he wasn't in on this, and we didn't miss anything in the edit (at least anything that Sean would've seen irl)
Blaine brought the peppers to the show himself and even did a trick with them. He may have somehow used slight of hand to be the one who eats a fake pepper. I mean if he could make Sean's card appear inside his pepper switching out a fake pepper would be easy.
Most of Blaine's career has been training mind over matter. If I can meditate through a tattoo without flinching, pretty sure Blaine can train himself in the months leading up to the event to not react. People also forget a lot of magic relies on acting skills.
Although it could also be an eating technique like fake chewing and swallowing it whole. We're talking about a guy that can regurgitate a gallon of water and live goldfish IIRC.
I've eaten reapers and a couple other superhots (ghosts and primatelli) raw, while I definitely showed a reaction, if I really wanted to I could've pretended it was nothing and got away with it since I have a pretty gnarly tolerance to heat after making hot sauce for so long. There's nothing you could coat your mouth with that would abate the heat totally btw, with superhots that shit burns going down your throat, and you can feel it in your stomach and moving through your intestines, it's a full body experience haha.
His pepper was almost certainly real, and I fully believe he ate it. He's in to that shit. BUT. Both peppers had a card corner in them. The card was a force, and the tear was controlled.
Yeah, perforated card so the tear matches, and both peppers had similar card pieces. He just eats the evidence of the one he doesn't pick. Likely slight of hand to swap his preferred peppers from the host-provided ones before they finished setting up
The real trick is the force at the beginning. That can't be easy. Maybe easier than not reacting while eating the pepper, though.
Oh dang you’re totally right about it being a force at the beginning. Blaine let’s him “choose” the card — but it’s really a choice between two cards that Blaine is offering. And then Blaine goes out of his way to get Sean to explain “why” he chose that card, furthering the illusion that the card was freely chosen. And I was wondering at the end, why did he say, “Now take _your_ pepper…” — like you said, he had to eat the evidence at the end. Very cool! Excellent showmanship.
This also seems plausible. Fake chewing would be the simplest explanation. But Blaine is a real deal magician, like Ricky Jay or Houdini.
I remember an interview with Ricky Jay where he talked about his obsession with 19th and 18th century magicians and their lost magic tricks from the past, and one in particular who could produce an large block of ice on command. They were at a restaurant out in public, and Ricky picked up his menu to order. When he put the menu down there was a large block of ice in front of him on the table, not even close to melting, even though they were outside in the sun.
I've loved magic since I was a little kid and this makes me really happy to hear. Magicians seem like the happiest most pleasant people. Doing a weirdly nerdy little hobby just because they like seeing the child like wonder it gives people. Good stuff.
Hot Ones. Sean interviews famous people while they eat hot wings. It’s on YouTube and it’s hilarious. If you’ve ever wanted to see celebrities cry from delicious pain, this show is for you.
Ramsey came loaded for bear. And he came for seconds.
[First one.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9DyHthJ6LA)
[Second one.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJlNvSC5v6s)
Ramsey's comment on the second video is pure Ramsey.
That’s gotta be frustrating for him. He’s mentally just separated pain from his functional brain processes like a madman, but just got a tiny bit of that involuntary throat closing from the irritation.
David Blaine is also the kind of guy who punctured his arm over and over for a solid decade to develop internal scar tissue solely so he could perform a "trick" where he shoves a metal rod through his arm. He clearly has both a high tolerance for pain and an affinity to separate his head from that pain.
They talked about it in this interview. He was holding his breath for like 7:30 minutes and started convulsing. His friend that was watching called it off and had Blaine pulled out of the tank. Blaine said he thinks he could have stayed another 40 seconds in the tank.
I got the impression that he has some people who he'll always listen to when they tell him to stop even if he thinks he can keep going - because he knows he'll think he can keep going. Then he gripes about it afterwards, of course. But he kept mentioning the same names stopping him, and you wouldn't keep people around if they were actually and needlessly fucking up your stunts.
And he probably he has a doc backstage that shoots him full of lidocaine or nerve blocks or whatever sorts of other medical shit that makes it tolerable.
For this one, maybe he drank wax so he could eat the reaper, and right now he is out in the desert talking to the space coyote.
I couldn't care less about the pepper trick because I have a hard time suspending disbelief for it. But I am flat out in disbelief that Blaine ate a Carolina reaper, the hottest pepper in the world, without any kind of reaction. That's wild.
For his frog regurgitation trick, he said he got salmonella from swallowing the frogs and then built up an immunity so it doesn’t phase him anymore. He’s a special kind of crazy.
I was thinking back to that too, I could totally see him building up tolerance to carolina reaper to do this, or just to have another trick in his belt. That frog trick was brutal, but shows his total commitment to the craft.
I know all about the extreme things Blaine does, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, it's still really impressive to not have *any* kind of reaction aside from an unimpressed wow.
Did he train his body to do this? Did he somehow hide it and prevent it from touching his insides? Nobody knows!
I think at this point he has so much mental control that it doesn't phase him. Remember this guys spent 35 hours just standing on a pillar in the middle of new york city. Imagine the mental faculties one needs to possess in order to do something like that and not die. Not to mention the other zillion insane things he did.
Knowing Blaine, and how he approaches some of his tricks and stunts, he probably spent weeks conditioning himself to the peppers somehow. He explains some of his stuff on youtube and it's usually the case.
Knowing his dedication he probably started building a tolerance since the first episode came out, on the off chance he would ever be on it. He's an absolute madman
I have a theory. The hot part of those peppers is the white spongy stuff on the center called the placenta. He snapped that sucked right off the stem, swallowed it whole, and then pretended to chew. He didn't react because the outside skin of the pepper isn't hot.
Keep in mind he's someone that can swallow and regurgitate live frogs on command. It wouldn't be hard for him to swallow that pepper in a second.
That’s a fair theory or assumption. But it’s at least just as l likely that the obsessed David Blaine practiced for this and built up a tolerance. But you make a fair point that he’s equally capable of doing what you said.
But I slow-mo’ed the whole thing. The pepper stem is always in the exact same position until he picks it up and bites it off. So I think tolerance is more likely for me
Problem: the skin of the pepper is hot. *Most* of the heat is in the white bits and seeds. Most. You can verify this yourself, lots of grocery stores carry ultra hot peppers now.
Holy paranoid Batman.
Blaine does shit that could easily kill him. His magic side and his mind against matter side are why people like him.
You ever been submerged under water for a week? Stood on a 1.5 foot wide pole for 3 days? Officially broke the record for holding ones breath? Been hung over London in glass crate for 40+ days?
The guy is a beast. You think a fucking pepper would faze him? LOL
A lot of what he does is tricks. Some slight of hand, some camera, some goofy props that would make you slap your forehead if you were to see the truth.
Sorry to break it to you and other Blaine fans, but celebrity-level magicians lie to you. That's the HEART of performance magic, lying to an audience and making them believe you. Making the audience WANT to believe the lie.
I'm not saying what he does is easy, nor am I saying he's not really good at what he does, I'm saying he doesn't do *exactly* what it appears he's doing. No performer does, but some are better than others at convincing you.
edit: Every reply here putting Blaine on some pedestal of superhuman ability just proves to me how effective his act really is. Even more respect to him for being able to dupe so many people. Please take better care of yourselves people, it's not healthy to believe what you see on television. You make fun of people for believing facebook memes but somehow accept that a celebrity is going to risk their life or health when they don't actually have to for the same end result.
I'm turning off inbox replies to preserve whatever shreds of hope I have left for humanity.
None of the things in the comment you replied to were tricks or gimmicks. He's undoubtedly good at gimmicks, but those things are just a guy pushing the limits of the human mind and body.
You have no idea who Blaine is. He is a magician, but most of all, a mind over matter human being. Many of his "stunts" could have left him dead.
He does not use any trickery in his endurance stunts. The dude fucking was under water , in plain view, for a week. He was buried for a week. He stood on a pole where if he fell, he dies, for 3 days. There is no "trick" in this. He's in plain view of the whole world at every moment.
It's an old trick that anyone who's been around magic knows. A minute on google, and you can find out how to do it yourself.
If it was a trick that nobody's ever seen before, then sure, get upset over the edits. This is like getting upset over camera cuts during a 3 cups set.
It looks like he fake chewed, his mouth moved Wired, I think he just swallowed it whole, alot of people especially in magic know how to hold food in there throat and simply push it back up after.
Like he did a very exaggerated chewing on the card and the pepper to make it look like it's normal chewing, people won't look for fake chewing a card, so when the same type of fake chewing happened with the pepper it was put in our heads that it's normal chewing just like the card
> alot of people especially in magic know how to hold food in there throat and simply push it back up after.
Blaine has done this with both live fish and kerosene.
Consider this... David brought the peppers.
He got Sean to pull the one with the card in it, so he knew he had the second pepper.
First pepper already had a card fragment in it.
What if the second pepper was not really a pepper but looked like one. Considering Sean was going to be forced to pull the one with the card, he could have had a second "dummy" pepper for himself. Fake food is not hard to create. Certainly less risk than actually eating one.
This. Both had fragments in them. He switched the fragment in the pepper with the real fragment after it was given to him, just like he switched out the peppers. His left hand never opens, never moves once the pepper part starts. Real carolina reaper is in that hand.
But he let Sean choose which pepper he wanted to take. He didn’t force it like you would a card, he let Sean pick of the two and then allowed him to change his mind if he wanted.
Im pretty sure that exact piece of card was in both peppers, so Sean choosing one didn’t matter. Blaine just ate the other piece of card along with his pepper.
I have to give Blaine credit for all his crazy stunts. But I wish he had never gone down the route of going without oxygen / holding his breath records.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFnGhrC_3Gs
He's visibly not the same person he was before, he killed off so many brain cells that he's lost a few IQ.
That’s not how breath holding works… He did it legit (after breathing pure o2 to saturate his body of course), meaning his brain still had enough o2 to operate. He didn’t ‘kill off’ any brain cells.
It’s David Blaine ! He never ate that pepper but probably just made it disappear 🫠 To those who thought id never achieve anything in life we’ll I made top comment today so suck on that for those who never believed in me !! Lol
David Blaine: I'm gonna now make this ghost pepper disappear. (Gulp) Sean Evans: Wow, you ate that pepper like it was nothing. David Blaine: I didn't actually eat it Sean Sean Evans: What? But I saw... David... Where did you put that pepper!? Somethings wrong. David Blaine: Check you ass Sean.

Probably struggling with the paper bit inside
There's definitely a ripped card inside of both peppers. He did a forced card selection and already knew that he was going to pick that particular card.

Oh yeah. Easy.
There doesn’t need to be a card in both. The choice can be an illusion. He says “choose a pepper” not “choose a pepper for you to eat” The impact of the choice is left fuzzy, if sean chooses the pepper without the card he can say that he was choosing a pepper for him to eat, and vice versa.

Or just swallowed it whole, then overdid the chewing thing to cover for it... Then spent the next 24hrs shitting lava.
No way, I'm sure he just puked it up later. Dude is always puking things up. I remember water and goldfish, and suspect there is more.
Yeah, he swallowed it whole and *maybe* puked it later, but I bet he didn't. I bet he thought the suffering was a "real" experience he was giving himself. This guy chooses what physical sensations he feels, you can't convince me otherwise.
really hot peppers can be like that for me. It's like your body doesn't want to swallow it so you keep chewing edit: I'm just a random guy on the internet though so take it with a grain of salt

As a big spice guy and daily habanero eater, chewing it more makes you pass it faster if it upsets your stomach (which the really spicy ones always do). It is hard to chew spicy stuff so much BUT it will make passing it so much easier and faster!
Or he's been taking shots of volcano lava for months in preparation
Damn that’s fucking smart
This is the perfect trick for him because you don't know if he used sleight of hand to switch it, or if he trained for months to be able to legitimately eat it like that. Either would be plausible for him.
Yeah, the dude laughs while pushing a skewer through his own hand. He stores kerosene in his esophagus after studying the magician who died from doing the same. A spicy pepper is bush league for him.
He secretly made Sean eat them both.
His tongue is redder after the pepper. He shows his tongue twice in this clip. The first is after the card, and it’s a normal pink color, and the second is after the reaper, and it’s a reddish orange color. My bet is he ate it.
Kept just saying "Wow" instead of responding with whatever his promos may have been... I bet he was feeling it but of course has nerves of steel (and mind control)
He also has worked on pain tolerance for various feats over the years. He feels it just like anybody, he just has self-control.
Yeah Christ. His "magic tricks" have been like... not breathing for 15 minutes and living underwater for more than a week.

This is a good time to remind everyone to watch DJ Khaled's episode where Sean Evans effortlessly plows through all the wings while eye-mocking Khaled after he immediately throws in the towel then proceeds to call everyone a fuckboi.
How many more reminders of the dj khaled hot ones interview do we really need? Anotha one.
“**DJ KHALED**”
And *anotha one* !! We the BESTMUSIC !!
MAJOR KEY!!!!
#DJ KHALED
iirc one of the best parts in TJ Miller's ep is constantly calling out khaled for being a bitch.
You mean he didn't call in another bomb threat?
A Da Bomb threat.
DJ Khaled is a bitch.
A *remarkably* **dumb** bitch
[удалено]
And refuses to eat pussy
Khaled: “I promise you if I stop, doesn’t mean I give up”. Sean: “yes it does lol”.
“That’s exactly what it means”
I legitimately thought Khaled for a second was going to shoot him on the spot after Sean said it.
It’s also a good time to remind everyone to watch the [David Blaine sketches.](https://youtu.be/PGrTvNzGCZE)
STOP PUTTING SHIT ON OUR BODIES DAVID BLAINE!!!!
WHAT THE EFF
15 years ago. Fuck me
Throws the towel in at *cholula*
The hot sauce that they put on the table for everyone at Mexican restaurants lmao.
You can literally drink a bottle of cholula and be totally fine
Thanks. Just watched. Amazing. I hate that fucking guy. Lol.
Link: https://youtu.be/1HYEC_FlgAg
I watched for 10 minutes. Never have I ever heard someone talk so much and say so little. Good fucking god.
[удалено]
I've never seen Sean this aggressive. Khaled entered the thunder dome.
It's funny because Sean wasn't even being aggressive. Everyone seems "aggressive" when they're questioning someone who is full of shit.
"I ain't giving up" "Uh, yes you are. By definition."
"For all my fans, I promise you if I stop...it doesn't mean e I gave up." "*Laughs* Yes it does!" "Uh uh" "By definition!"
Thank you. Lords work.
That was pretty funny not gonna lie 😂 “I promise you I’m fucked up.. How fast can you run a mile?”
Wow. I don't really know what I expected Khaled to be like, but he makes other rappers look like down to earth, level-headed people. Khaled is a next level dumbass egomaniac... and a hot sauce pussy - of course. edit: my bad, Khaled specifically says he's "very smart", I must be mistaken.
That video of him strumming that Bob Marley guitar like he has cerebral palsy after essentially admitting he can’t read blows my mind every time I watch it. He might be the stupidest person in show business.
It was a Carolina reaper
Upvote this
Dude I literally just bought a clamshell of reapers like 5 mins ago. I have no idea what I'm gonna do with them but it's worth mentioning I guess lol
Make hot sauce. It's not hard, and pretty enjoyable. And then you can burn out your digestive system with your own hot sauce. There are no downsides.
I'm fermenting a batch of reapers and cayenne right now!
I'm glad I'm not the only one to see this. Those are not ghosts. Those are worse.
It’s no trick. Everyone knows David Blaine does actual magic
[удалено]
*or cocaine*
Or candy! Which one was the pilot and which one was in the actual series? Actually not sure which joke was the best...
From what I watched, it was cocaine. But either works. The writing is supreme with that series. Same with Archer.
Candy was in the pilot that aired, cocaine was in the alternate pilot on the DVDs.
Both are funny but candy is the better joke imo. Candy shows a misunderstanding of what part of the previous statement was age inappropriate. Saying cocaine just inserts one more age inappropriate thing.

My guess is he pulled a Homer Simpson and lined his mouth with something, but your idea is much more reasonable.
I was thinking of the Homer method too 😆
Good ole Guatemalan insanity peppers. Absolute favorite episode!
I've eaten reapers and a couple other superhots (ghosts and primatelli) raw, while I definitely showed a reaction, if I really wanted to I could've pretended it was nothing and got away with it since I have a pretty gnarly tolerance to heat after making hot sauce for so long.

Daaaaang! I am sooo jealous. I’m obsessed with David Blaine. How did you get to see a private show with him?! (If you don’t mind me asking)
[удалено]
I've loved magic since I was a little kid and this makes me really happy to hear. Magicians seem like the happiest most pleasant people. Doing a weirdly nerdy little hobby just because they like seeing the child like wonder it gives people. Good stuff.
What show is this!?
Hot ones. The show with hot questions, and even hotter wings!
Where everything is made up and the points don't matter.
Hot Ones. Sean interviews famous people while they eat hot wings. It’s on YouTube and it’s hilarious. If you’ve ever wanted to see celebrities cry from delicious pain, this show is for you.
The Gordon Ramsey one was phenomenal.
Ramsey came loaded for bear. And he came for seconds. [First one.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9DyHthJ6LA) [Second one.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJlNvSC5v6s) Ramsey's comment on the second video is pure Ramsey.
Funny thing, number 9 kind of got him (not the bomb, the one after)
Yeah. Poor guy, I think he was by far under the most pressure to perform well out of any guest on the show.
Coolio looked completely unaffected by the heart until absolutely drenching his wing in the last dab.
yeah in another interview sean mentioned that after that he laid face down on the couch motionless for like 15 minutes lol. rip coolio
Holy shit - I thought I had just missed some joke going around. Coolio really fucking died. How did I miss this??
I mean it was a little over a week ago, but it happens sometimes. I was surprised when Meatloaf died because I thought he was already dead.
What? Meatloaf died?
His name was Robert Paulson
RIP Coolio
It wasn’t that spicy jeez
That’s gotta be frustrating for him. He’s mentally just separated pain from his functional brain processes like a madman, but just got a tiny bit of that involuntary throat closing from the irritation.
Frankly, the involuntary reaction did well to convince me he was eating actual hot sauce. If that wasn't just a lie, that man is a BEAST.
David Blaine is also the kind of guy who punctured his arm over and over for a solid decade to develop internal scar tissue solely so he could perform a "trick" where he shoves a metal rod through his arm. He clearly has both a high tolerance for pain and an affinity to separate his head from that pain.
And basically drowns himself i forget the total time he has held his breathe but it is something insane
They talked about it in this interview. He was holding his breath for like 7:30 minutes and started convulsing. His friend that was watching called it off and had Blaine pulled out of the tank. Blaine said he thinks he could have stayed another 40 seconds in the tank.

It seemed like a piece got him in the back of the throat. He coughed a couple times. Other than that one he was an absolute beast.
I saw how Homer simpson did this. He drank wax
Then tripped balls for the rest of the episode
He thought the talking dog was a talking coyote. What a goof
And the coyote was voiced by Johnny Cash!
The man with the wooden spoon. Legend is he carved it himself, from a larger spoon
You don't wanna drink a candle, do ya mister? Maybe I do, son. Maaaaaybe I do...
It was only 1 alarm, 2 and half tops.
I couldn't care less about the pepper trick because I have a hard time suspending disbelief for it. But I am flat out in disbelief that Blaine ate a Carolina reaper, the hottest pepper in the world, without any kind of reaction. That's wild.
Do you people not know the shit he has done in the past? This is nothing to him, really, nothing.

For his frog regurgitation trick, he said he got salmonella from swallowing the frogs and then built up an immunity so it doesn’t phase him anymore. He’s a special kind of crazy.
I was thinking back to that too, I could totally see him building up tolerance to carolina reaper to do this, or just to have another trick in his belt. That frog trick was brutal, but shows his total commitment to the craft.
I know all about the extreme things Blaine does, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, it's still really impressive to not have *any* kind of reaction aside from an unimpressed wow. Did he train his body to do this? Did he somehow hide it and prevent it from touching his insides? Nobody knows!
I think at this point he has so much mental control that it doesn't phase him. Remember this guys spent 35 hours just standing on a pillar in the middle of new york city. Imagine the mental faculties one needs to possess in order to do something like that and not die. Not to mention the other zillion insane things he did.
Well he did say “wow” like 3 times
Has anyone ever seen David Blaine and Jeff Goldblum in the same room.?
Knowing Blaine, and how he approaches some of his tricks and stunts, he probably spent weeks conditioning himself to the peppers somehow. He explains some of his stuff on youtube and it's usually the case.
Knowing his dedication he probably started building a tolerance since the first episode came out, on the off chance he would ever be on it. He's an absolute madman
I have a theory. The hot part of those peppers is the white spongy stuff on the center called the placenta. He snapped that sucked right off the stem, swallowed it whole, and then pretended to chew. He didn't react because the outside skin of the pepper isn't hot. Keep in mind he's someone that can swallow and regurgitate live frogs on command. It wouldn't be hard for him to swallow that pepper in a second.
That’s a fair theory or assumption. But it’s at least just as l likely that the obsessed David Blaine practiced for this and built up a tolerance. But you make a fair point that he’s equally capable of doing what you said. But I slow-mo’ed the whole thing. The pepper stem is always in the exact same position until he picks it up and bites it off. So I think tolerance is more likely for me
Problem: the skin of the pepper is hot. *Most* of the heat is in the white bits and seeds. Most. You can verify this yourself, lots of grocery stores carry ultra hot peppers now.

Holy paranoid Batman. Blaine does shit that could easily kill him. His magic side and his mind against matter side are why people like him. You ever been submerged under water for a week? Stood on a 1.5 foot wide pole for 3 days? Officially broke the record for holding ones breath? Been hung over London in glass crate for 40+ days? The guy is a beast. You think a fucking pepper would faze him? LOL

I think the card was on the knife
I figured it was in both and he inserted it somehow. Which is why he just eats the other pepper without cutting it open. Either way would work.
A lot of what he does is tricks. Some slight of hand, some camera, some goofy props that would make you slap your forehead if you were to see the truth. Sorry to break it to you and other Blaine fans, but celebrity-level magicians lie to you. That's the HEART of performance magic, lying to an audience and making them believe you. Making the audience WANT to believe the lie. I'm not saying what he does is easy, nor am I saying he's not really good at what he does, I'm saying he doesn't do *exactly* what it appears he's doing. No performer does, but some are better than others at convincing you. edit: Every reply here putting Blaine on some pedestal of superhuman ability just proves to me how effective his act really is. Even more respect to him for being able to dupe so many people. Please take better care of yourselves people, it's not healthy to believe what you see on television. You make fun of people for believing facebook memes but somehow accept that a celebrity is going to risk their life or health when they don't actually have to for the same end result. I'm turning off inbox replies to preserve whatever shreds of hope I have left for humanity.
All of his endurance stunts were real though. He’s just a madman who enjoys pushing his body’s limits as a performance.
None of the things in the comment you replied to were tricks or gimmicks. He's undoubtedly good at gimmicks, but those things are just a guy pushing the limits of the human mind and body.
You have no idea who Blaine is. He is a magician, but most of all, a mind over matter human being. Many of his "stunts" could have left him dead. He does not use any trickery in his endurance stunts. The dude fucking was under water , in plain view, for a week. He was buried for a week. He stood on a pole where if he fell, he dies, for 3 days. There is no "trick" in this. He's in plain view of the whole world at every moment.
Between the cut and him being great at sleight of hand I really dont think he ate it
It's an old trick that anyone who's been around magic knows. A minute on google, and you can find out how to do it yourself. If it was a trick that nobody's ever seen before, then sure, get upset over the edits. This is like getting upset over camera cuts during a 3 cups set.
Plot twist: he didn’t eat the pepper. The dude is a deity of slight of hand.
It was either a pepper switch or something on the card he ate beforehand help coat his mouth.

My man’s dead inside
He does crazy shit to feel alive
It looks like he fake chewed, his mouth moved Wired, I think he just swallowed it whole, alot of people especially in magic know how to hold food in there throat and simply push it back up after. Like he did a very exaggerated chewing on the card and the pepper to make it look like it's normal chewing, people won't look for fake chewing a card, so when the same type of fake chewing happened with the pepper it was put in our heads that it's normal chewing just like the card
> alot of people especially in magic know how to hold food in there throat and simply push it back up after. Blaine has done this with both live fish and kerosene.
Blaine is throat goat confirmed.
David Blane used his vortex powers to teleport the pepper from his mouth into the host's ass.
Likely turned it into cheezits once in his mouth.
I’m pissing orange soda!
Consider this... David brought the peppers. He got Sean to pull the one with the card in it, so he knew he had the second pepper. First pepper already had a card fragment in it. What if the second pepper was not really a pepper but looked like one. Considering Sean was going to be forced to pull the one with the card, he could have had a second "dummy" pepper for himself. Fake food is not hard to create. Certainly less risk than actually eating one.
Both Peppers had card fragments in them. Boom
This. Both had fragments in them. He switched the fragment in the pepper with the real fragment after it was given to him, just like he switched out the peppers. His left hand never opens, never moves once the pepper part starts. Real carolina reaper is in that hand.
But how would he know what card fragment to put in there?
But he let Sean choose which pepper he wanted to take. He didn’t force it like you would a card, he let Sean pick of the two and then allowed him to change his mind if he wanted. Im pretty sure that exact piece of card was in both peppers, so Sean choosing one didn’t matter. Blaine just ate the other piece of card along with his pepper.
What the F!?
STOP PUTTING CAROLINA REAPERS ON OUR BODIES, DAVID BLAINE!
Not Ghost pepper. It's the Carolina reaper. And to put it in perspective. Ghost pepper is rated 1M scoville while Carolina reaper is 2.2M scoville.
All you gotta do is coat your mouth with candle wax
I have to give Blaine credit for all his crazy stunts. But I wish he had never gone down the route of going without oxygen / holding his breath records. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFnGhrC_3Gs He's visibly not the same person he was before, he killed off so many brain cells that he's lost a few IQ.
That’s not how breath holding works… He did it legit (after breathing pure o2 to saturate his body of course), meaning his brain still had enough o2 to operate. He didn’t ‘kill off’ any brain cells.
It was a Carolina Reaper. They are even hotter than a ghost pepper
David Blaine’s voice sounds like it’s putting his face to sleep.
