You've seen him hold his breath for more than 17 minutes, be entombed in an underground plastic box for seven days and catch a .22 caliber bullet with his mouth — David Blaine has been bending minds and leaving jaws dropped for decades. And tonight, you'll see the world-renowned magician and endurance performer seek out people who perform equally spell-binding feats around the world in the new National Geographic docuseries David Blaine: Do Not Attempt.
Premiering Sunday, March 23, David Blaine: Do Not Attempt is a six-part documentary series that sees the illusionist take viewers "on a jaw-dropping journey through some of the world’s most extraordinary cultures as he seeks out kindred spirits, finds inspiration, and learns some truly exceptional skills along the way," per Nat Geo.
Across the six episodes — the first two of which will air back-to-back tonight beginning at 9pm Eastern Time — Blaine travels "through the urban and natural jungles of Brazil to the unforgiving ice of the Arctic Circle, from the spiritual centers of India to the thriving cultural heart of South Africa" seeking out real feats of magic "at the intersection of physical and mental strength performed by extraordinary people." Each episode will see the magician immerse himself in the cultures, histories and hidden rituals that make these astonishing talents possible.
