World-famous illusionist David Blaine visited Ukraine and traveled aboard Ukrainian Railways trains to Lviv, Kyiv and Kharkiv. The American magician came to support wounded people, railway workers and children from the “Iron Change” program.
This was reported by Ukrzaliznytsia.
The company said Blaine’s visit took place with the support of the All Hands and Hearts foundation. The illusionist also promised to return to Ukraine again — this time to Odesa.
“His magic leaves no one indifferent, and he also has roots connected to Ukraine — David’s mother is from Odesa, and he named his only daughter after the Ukrainian city,” the statement said.
David Blaine is an American illusionist, endurance performer and television host who gained worldwide fame through dangerous stunts and street magic. He became widely known in the 1990s after the television show “Street Magic.”
