I'm not a fan of "street magic". I think David Blaine is a pompous jackass. Criss Angel is not much better, but I must admit that this illusion of his is quite entertaining.
Everyone (and by that I meant everyone on broadband), go watch it now! I'll wait here.
Hmm, what should I do to pass the time while waiting for them to come back? Aha! I think I'll practice this cool coin trick I read about in that "Magic for Retarded Dummies" book. Fun!
Step 1: show the coin to the audience.... Look, audience! A shiny coin! That was easy, heh.
Step 2: pretend to swallow the coin.... Look, audience! I'm swallowing the coin! Ah... yummy... yummy... oops... *gulp* *gag* *choke* damn it! Pretend, joyfulchicken, pretend! Oh well, I guess I'll be shitting metal tomorrow. Crap.
Oh, hi, you're back. Did you enjoy the trick? No, not my coin-swallowing trick--that one still needs a bit of work (and maybe some laxatives too). Of course I'm talking about the Criss Angel pulling-a-woman-apart one. Not bad, huh?
Top that, David Blaine.
