- tuesdayrain 8y agoYou're just guessing. He really did poke it through.
- laurieg 8y agoI had a look around at David Blaine poking various things into himself. I think I was probably wrong. It looks like poking a needle into a bicep is a somewhat common trick[1]. I assume he just takes the pain. Still, I would tell everyone to be cautious believing a magician's explanation for any trick. Lying to mould people's memory of the trick is a really common technique. In one version of David Blaine's icepick through the hand[2] he says "This is the first time I let someone else choose the place" When he clearly chooses where to push the icepick through.

- chrischen 8y agoI'm thinking the healed piercing thing is what it is. Basically he has something akin to a fistula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fistula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fistula) from repeatedly poking the same spot, but the outside heals over so you can't see the hole.
