David Blaine
He remained suspended 30 feet in the air in a transparent, plexiglass case.
He even performed the famous karasen and water spout trick from the famous Hadji Ali. Hadji Ali died by performing this trick from inhaling the fumes from the karasen. Blaine had also caught a bullet in a thick, steel cup that was placed in his mouth. The power of the rifle was that from a 22 caliber. He is debateably one of the most influential performers of this time, and he has slowly changed the way people view magic.
