David Blaine Spoof Reaps Riches for Groundlings Improv Troupe

Will Ferrell, Lisa Kudrow and a raft of Saturday Night Live players honed their improvisational chops at Los Angeles’ Groundlings theater company, then left to earn fame and fortune elsewhere. Now the troupe has decided to cut a deal of its own.

On the strength of its 18 million-views-and-counting YouTube spoof The Street Magic of David Blaine, the Groundlings have partnered with Sony Pictures Television to produce 50 more short videos.

The first batch is set to debut later this year on Crackle.com.

Street Magic will be a tough act to follow. Deadpan star Mitch Silpa gets Blaine’s million-mile stare down cold while Idiot One and Idiot Two (Mikey Day and Michael Naughton) go hog wild as his fawning, foul-mouthed fans.

Fox, HBO and Comedy Central in recent weeks have also been looking for funny stuff on the web. Small wonder: That’s where the eyeballs are.

As Groundlings actor Jeremy Rowley told the Los Angeles Times: "In the theater, we have 99 people watching us. Online, we can have a million."

Review: 'David Blaine’s Street Magic', Bring the Magic Back!

Okay, so I’m with the majority here. This show is funny. I’ve been watching David Blaine’s Street Magic since the beginning and waiting with anticipation as new eps come out. And the stalwart casting of Mitch Stilpa as David Blaine and Mikey Day (Kath & Kim) as Idiot One and Michael Naughton as Idiot Two is the bread and butter of this show. The three LA comedy vets make up Groundlings-trained Those Lil Rabbits, who’s channel on YouTube is definitely worth checking out. This show is like comfort food for me, ham and cheese, I know what I’m coming for and I know I’m gonna like it. But then they go and try to fix what ain’t broke. (Sorry ‘Zaoza,’ you seem like a person, but you gotta go.)

But before we get into that, let’s go back to what we love. First of all, the single shot technique is sheer genius. As low budget a production as this seems, there is some serious work going on behind the scenes. First of all, rehearsal, I have to believe they do a lot of it, because they do not miss a beat in the entire single shot of each ep. So kudos to all of them, and their director, David Morgasen, who definitely has work cut out for him.

Second of all with their mise en scene and staging as in episode two (above) when one of the idiots is lifted into the air and placed on the garage (hysterical), or in three when the car is replaced with a miniature version, then again with its life size version, all before our very eyes (or at least just off camera – which takes some serious skill and preparation). Ep three (below) also has the changing of one of the idiots’ hats to different sizes which had me crying with laughter, then Mitch doing a fast and seemingly miraculous wardrobe change that you just have to see to believe.

The performances are great too. Stilpa’s David Blaine is so bizarre and lifelike it’s both frightening and hilarious. And though I’ve never seen the actual Blaine do it, his mysterious gaze into camera after each illusion has me in stitches EVERY TIME. That’s a trick in and of itself. It’s also very funny that each time he approaches them it’s all new to him, but the boys remember him from the last time he ruined their day. And the boys’ performances as the Blaine-beleaguered (and what I can only assume is) gay couple just going about their day be it shopping, fishing, or…shopping, never miss a joke. The writing is simple, but clever with the boys’ constant refrains of “What the F?!” and “Big whoop!” which I can only imagine is interspersed with a lot of good improv.

It should also be noted there are a few errant versions of the show, like the one of just Silpa’s Blaine, doing things like ‘magically’ making a trashcan rise (as a garbage truck raises it) and pigeons disperse (as he runs toward them). And then there are the French ones. The guys flew over to France to shoot two online commercials for a French subscription music site, ZaOza.com, featuring a rival magician “Zaoza” brought in for the fourth and fifth installments, who incidentally is the website’s spokesman.

Zaoza just doesn’t do it. He could be funny I’m sure, I mean, it’s not his performance, it’s just that it messes with the format too much. Suddenly, Stilpa’s Blaine is less confident, and instantly unfunny as a regular Joe. I liked him when he was perfect. That’s the joke of Blaine, guys, when Blaine is on, he does unbelievable, otherworldly things. He’s better than us and it’s frightening and amazing. And as in real life, when Blaine becomes fallible, it’s boring and kind of depressing. [Ed. note: The french episodes were written by the Zaoza team (owned by Vivendi) and aren’t part of the official three-episodes from ThoseLilRabbits.]

Now, in the end I guess the question remains, how long will the joke last if they just kept going the way they were, the three leads intact? Who knows? But I was good at three. And four and five are still funny before Zaoza appears, so I’m thinking there are a few comfort food, oldy-but-goody Street Magics left that will leave us laughing. Guys, please, don’t mess with my ham and cheese like that, leave frenchy for another sketch and bring back just the boys for a couple more.

Until then, there’s always Human Giant’s “The Illusionators,” a spot-on spoof of Criss Angel’s Mindfreak.

Reviews for "David Blaine and Mikey Day's Street Magic: Captivating Audiences Worldwide"

1. John - 2/5
I was really disappointed with "David Blaine Street Magic Mikey Day". I have always been a fan of David Blaine's magic and was excited to watch this special. However, I found Mikey Day's performance to be lackluster and uninspiring. His tricks were predictable and didn't leave me amazed or questioning how he did them. Overall, the show felt rushed and poorly executed. I expected so much more from David Blaine, and it's a shame that this collaboration fell flat.
2. Lisa - 1/5
I cannot express how disappointed I was with "David Blaine Street Magic Mikey Day". It was one of the worst magic performances I have ever seen. Mikey Day's tricks were so basic and amateurish, it felt like watching a magic show for kids. There was no creativity or originality in his performance, and it almost felt like he was just going through the motions. I expected much better from David Blaine, and this collaboration was a major letdown. I would not recommend wasting your time watching this special.
3. Mike - 2/5
I had high expectations for "David Blaine Street Magic Mikey Day" but was left sorely disappointed. Mikey Day lacked the charisma and stage presence needed to captivate the audience. His tricks were predictable and lacked the wow factor that I associate with David Blaine's performances. The chemistry between Blaine and Day also seemed off, making the overall show feel forced and insincere. I was hoping for an unforgettable magic experience, but unfortunately, this special failed to deliver.
4. Sarah - 3/5
While "David Blaine Street Magic Mikey Day" wasn't my favorite magic performance, I still found some enjoyment in it. Mikey Day's tricks were not groundbreaking or mind-blowing, but they were still entertaining to watch. It wasn't the best collaboration between David Blaine and Mikey Day, but there were a few moments that stood out. I appreciate the effort put into the show, but overall, it didn't live up to my expectations. I would still recommend giving it a watch if you're a fan of David Blaine, but don't expect anything too extraordinary.
