Illusionist and endurance artist David Blaine returns to National Geographic this Sunday with a journey to India, a place that’s held a lifelong fascination for him. “David Blaine: Do Not Attempt: India” finds Blaine seeking out modern practitioners of ancient arts, individuals who perform seemingly impossible physical feats using secrets passed down through generations.
Blaine’s curiosity extends beyond mere tricks and illusions. He’s interested in the intersection of belief and physical capability, the way the mind can push the body to achieve the extraordinary. In India, he finds a rich tradition of such practices, from extreme breath control to feats of strength and endurance that seem to defy explanation.
“Do Not Attempt” isn’t just about watching Blaine perform his own stunts; it’s about exploring the human capacity for pushing boundaries. This episode blends cultural immersion with Blaine’s signature brand of mind-bending performance, offering a glimpse into a world where the line between reality and magic becomes beautifully blurred. Tune in to National Geographic this Sunday at 9:00 PM ET/PT to see what Blaine uncovers.
