In this mind-blowing episode of Backstage Pass with Gentry Thomas, world-renowned illusionist and endurance artist David Blaine joins the show to discuss his daring new series, David Blaine: Do Not Attempt. Streaming now on National Geographic, Disney+, and Hulu, the six-part series showcases Blaine pushing the boundaries of human capability with never-before-seen stunts that defy logic—and sometimes even survival.

David shares stories from being frozen for hours and experiencing wild hallucinations that tested both his mind and body. He talks candidly about the toll these challenges take and how he prepares both physically and mentally for the seemingly impossible.

We also hear a more personal side of David as he opens up about how his daughter reacts to his extreme stunts, and the delicate balance between being a loving father and a death-defying performer.

Don’t miss this rare and riveting conversation with the modern-day Houdini himself—only on Backstage Pass with Gentry Thomas.
