David Blaine Do Not Attempt, a six-part series from Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries, is slated to bow on National Geographic on March 23 and begin streaming on Disney+ and Hulu the next day.
The series sees the titular magician meet with performers and masters around the world to witness their exceptional skills. As he immerses himself in their cultures, histories and hidden rituals, he learns and attempts their tricks, from sword swallowing to surviving venomous stings and kissing king cobras.
The show serves as a celebration of pushing boundaries safely and responsibly, rooted in years of training, preparation and a process of refinement. Viewers are reminded throughout the series that professionals do all of the feats shown with safety teams to prevent any accidents, and none of the activities on screen should ever be practiced at home.
Blaine travels to Brazil, Southeast Asia, India, the Arctic Circle, South Africa and Japan throughout the six episodes.
David Blaine Do Not Attempt is produced by Imagine Documentaries for National Geographic. Executive producers are Grazer, Howard, Blaine, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, Christopher St. John, Matthew Akers, Erica Sashin and Toby Oppenheimer.
