David Blaine has confused the world with this “magic trick”

JOE

What the hell?

Jimmy Fallon had David Blaine on his chat show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and invited him to perform some of his magic tricks.

Blaine obliged, and performed some run of the mill, while also extremely impressive, card tricks. The crowd loved it, as did Fallon, but he was clearly a little freaked out, as were the show’s regular band “The Roots”. And then it got weird…

Blaine started to tell a story about a man who converted his stomach into an aquarium, where he stored live creatures, and then could bring them up at will. You can probably guess what happens next…

Yep. He regurgitated a live frog. On television. The crowd went insane, as did Fallon. But the best reaction of the night came from the band members of The Roots, who were visibly disgusted and confused by the event.

As gross as it was, it made for some entertaining television, and left everyone thinking both how and why Blaine would do that?
