Joe Rogan Experience #1527 - David Blaine

When David was talking about how no drug experience could come close to the hallucinations that he experienced, you could see the pain behind Joe’s eyes, trying to hold back talking about DMT.

David actually did this podcast from home and Joe never realized it.

You can tell this dudes has a true heart. There isn't any pretending in this dude. It's refreshing to see a truly happy person.

To see David Blaine's joy of being alive is a priceless gift. Thanks for everything you do.

18:07 I love how one of the greatest magicians of all time is Amazed by how quickly Young Jamie can find a video on youtube

His greatest trick was hiding that giddy personality for decades.

I met David Blaine as a teen. Shortly after I became disabled. He was about 16 or 17. He used to walk up and down Broadway in Grenwich Village. He strongly resembled a classmate and I went up to him thinking he was what I found out was his cousin. He did magic tricks for me... eventually for a few months, I'd go to the village and when I'd see him I'd hang with him while he performed tricks . Even that young he just LOVED entertaining people. He was always humble. A decade later I'm seeing him on cable TV and I ask myself why he looks so familiar. He had his own special. Then one day he did a show where he was back on his old stomping grounds performing tricks. But by this time he was a magic superstar... But seeing him in his environment, I realized that was the dude I chilled with for a few months on occasion in the village. It felt awesome to realize that his amazing magic took him so far in life... God bless him.

4 years ago my father fell off a ladder while we were working together and broke his neck and back and has been in a wheelchair ever since but after it happened he had no function below his neck. I witness the entire thing and even I thought there was never a chance he'd walk again but now he stands on his own and can even take several steps with a walker and he's always making small progress. The only thing that truly hinders us, is our own lack of faith and understanding. Faith in each other and ourselves and understanding of just how powerful our minds truly are. To anyone reading this and is having a tough time with life and it's ridiculous obstacles.. I love you and appreciate you for who you are and you ARE strong and you ARE worthy and you CAN do it and you WILL make it. 🤟🏻💪🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻🙌🏻💗

Had the chance to meet him while working in a restaurant. He noticed my excitement and pulled out a deck of cards to show my friend and I a trick. He then offered taking a picture with me understanding we are not allowed to ask for pictures or any of that kind to guests. He left an Ace card and still have it in my wallet. You’re awesome David! 👏👏

David: "Being trapped in ice makes you hallucinate like no drug could ever do." Joe: Orders 50 tons of ice

The way this librarian’s sincere encouragement, and his mom’s enthusiastic reaction and genuine support of her son’s interests changed the trajectory of a young kid’s life. We should all strive to be that adult in a child’s life. It absolutely makes a difference. I guarantee everyone watching right now is either thinking of the adult who filled that role in their young life, or they are wishing they had a supportive, encouraging adult role model who actually took an active interest in their life and their hobbies. They are also thinking of all the ways their life might have turned out differently if they had any semblance of guidance as a kid. Be that adult. It matters.

When I was younger I thought David Blaine was so emotionless because of his facial expressions but this shows clear as day how passionate he is about his work! Cool af guy

This sounds like a man who’s wanted to tell his story for a long long time.

"No that's young Jamie. Hes a wizard in his own right.' Jamie finally getting his flowers.

These kind of Rogan interviews are historic, people will watch this 100 years from now. Where else can you listen to David Blaine for 2 hours without a cut to commercial. Yeah, Rogan goes off the rails plenty but this is why he is at the top of his field.

David Blaine is so passionate. You can hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes when he’s talking about his inspirations. It’s so precious.

This is the most enthusiastic I've ever seen David Blaine.

David Blaine deserves an Oscar for acting like he is a human.

The sheer excitement and passion in davids voice is awsome!! He sounds like a such dedicated , pasionate person who really loves what he does

I never realized David was such a silly/happy guy. Love this guy even more
