David Blaine dislocated his shoulder during a stunt at a Las Vegas show. After doctors from the crowd relocated his shoulder, Blaine finished the show.
David Blaine dislocated his shoulder over the weekend during his Las Vegas residency at Resorts World Theatre, but the show must go on, and so it did.
Blaine’s injury occurred when he jumped from an 80-foot-tall platform above the audience and into a pile of cardboard boxes, the casino and Anschutz Entertainment Group said in a statement. The stunt was a part of the Brooklyn magician’s opening act. The casino said a number of doctors in the crowd assisted Blaine in relocating his right arm as he “experienced extreme pain and discomfort.”
“After a short delay, Blaine was able to continue with the show, in pain, but in good humor,” the casino and event promoters said.Behind the curtain: How L.A.’s working magicians hone their tricks in private ‘magic jams’Blaine posted a succinct message Sunday on his Instagram commenting, “Wow that hurt!” with a video that showedcaptured both the jump and the aftermath, as Blaine was slow to get up from the boxes.
