At 2:44 he totally says "I'm trolling you"

[illybang]

The man is a genius.

[budders444]

How on earth has he got this accent as a German

[William Utriainen]

he looks like the kid from spykids

[Robo Joe]

hes got an amrican voice despite being born in germany. watch comedy bang bang to hear his actual voice

[musicallitterbox]

I would imagine, since his father is american, and he lived in america for a good portion of his life, his real accent is at least a little american sounding.

[NotJustBlonde]

Do you think he actually knows what he's saying secretly?

[NotJustBlonde]

What does his real voice sound like? :/

[OGrillaAnimations]

....right. And that zip in the middle of a large blue canvas is really art.

[Nicholas Poindexter]

David Blaine is magic!

[grifter188]

this is a little more scripted than his usual improv ... but it is TED ... express your voice.
