Abracadabra! Sala kakuhle!
(USylvain Gaboury / uPatrick McMullan)
Akucaci ukuba amaqhinga e-illusionists aluphi na uncedo kwimarike yezindlu, kodwa i-abracadabra ekhawulezayo ngokuqinisekileyo ayinakulimaza.
Okanye mhlawumbi umlingo UDavid Blaine Unelinye ikhadi phezulu emkhonweni wakhe xa kufikwa ekuthengiseni igumbi lakhe lokulala elinamagumbi amabini, igumbi lokuhlambela elinye 41 IFifth Avenue . Kufuneka sitsho, simangalisiwe ziifoto ze-1,044-square-foot pad-konke kujongeka kunokuba… kuyinto eqhelekileyo. Ngesiqhelo, nkqu! Ngokuqinisekileyo ayisiyiyo le nto besinokuyilindela kwindoda ekhethe ukwenza isenzo apho babebotshelelwe khona kwibhokisi yeplastiki phantsi komhlaba phantsi kweetoni ezi-3 ezigcwaliswe ngamanzi kangangeveki.
Ngokwerekhodi kawonke-wonke, uMnu. Blaine wathenga le ndlu ngo-1998, xa wayethandana noJosie Maran-yena wodumo lweJosie Maran Cosmetics. Sinengxaki yokufanisa esi sibini, kodwa siqhubeka ...
Umnumzana Blaine ubonakala ngathi ubencanyathiselwe kwiyunithi yomgangatho ophezulu ngowama-41 wesihlanu, kuba wayigcina nasemva kokuthenga indawo eyi- $ 1.67 yezigidi e-Tribeca kwiminyaka eliqela kamva. 
Ngokuqhelekileyo kuqhelekile. (UDouglas Elliman)
Kodwa ngoku, i-illusionist ikhethe ukwahlula iindlela kunye ne-co-op encinci enomtsalane (okanye ngaba yonke into iyinkohliso?), Eza kugcwaliswa ngomlilo ovuthayo, udwelise kunye no-Douglas Elliman brokers URaphael DeNiro , UMaggie Leigh Marshall , kunye U-Evangelos Karras, e $ 2.27 yezigidi . Ezinye izinto ezigqwesileyo zibandakanya ukuvezwa komazantsi, empuma, kunye nasemantla, kunye neshawa esime esitalini kunye nebhafu enzulu yokuntywila. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, kumnandi ukukwazi ukuziqhelanisa ne-Driving Alive stunt-apho uMnu Blaine egxunyekwe kwindawo ezaliswe ngamanzi kangange veki-kwintuthuzelo yendlu yakhe.
Ukunqongophala kuka Mnu Blaine akusoloko kuhamba ngempumelelo-njengaxa wayevalelwe kwibhloko yomkhenkce ngaphezulu kweeyure ezingama-63 e-Times Square kwaye kwafuneka esiwe esibhedlele. Ngethamsanqa, ukuthengisa le ndawo yaseGreenwich Village kunokuba yinto elula kunokuhlala kumkhenkce okanye emanzini kangangeentsuku.
