Disney Plus is about to add one of the most jaw-dropping TV series not for the faint-hearted. David Blaine, 51, will embark on his most extraordinary journey yet, traveling to the four corners of the earth to meet magicians who have perfected incredible stunts beyond his own imagination.
![[Man sets his own head on fire in David Blaine: Do Not Attempt]](https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/SEI_241545458-2cc6-e1740669279737.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=646)
From kissing snakes in Asia to jumping off a bridge while engulfed in flames in Brazil, Blaine is taking on more death-defying stunts for reasons we’ll never understand. National Geographic released a trailer for Blaine’s new six-part series, his first TV show in almost a decade.
In it, Blaine says: ‘For years I’ve had this idea in my head of jumping off a bridge on fire.’. Ok, Dave. He then appears to be doused in a flammable liquid and flicks the lid of a lighter. he says: ‘I’ve always loved things that look like magic but are actually real so I’m travelling around the world to find the most incredible people that have the most incredible talents that have been passed down for generations.
‘Many of the things I’m seeing I didn’t even know were possible.’. At one point his own crew is urging the magician not to set his head on fire, which is… fair. ‘I’m going to the hidden parts of all these places. I’m learning the history of what they do and they’re giving me a crash course, letting me into their world.’.
A sneak-peek shows Blaine staring into the eyes of a king cobra, walking on a tight rope hundreds of meters above ground while also watching other equally fearless performers achieve the unthinkable, body slamming into broken glass, jumping through tiny rings of fire and being drenched in bees.
The magician’s fan base is already seated. This Is Us and Paradise star Sterling K. Brown commented on trailer: ‘This dude is UNREAL…I’m In!’. ‘This looks INSANE,’ enthused fan mariothemagician. Evanrosenan wrote: ’Wow this looks absolutely wild! can’t wait’.
David Blaine: Do Not Attempt is available to stream on Disney Plus from March 24 and airs on National Geographic every Thursday from March 27. Got a story?.
