As a movie enthusiast, I’m always drawn to the extraordinary and the seemingly impossible. Just like David Blaine, I too find myself on a quest – a quest to uncover the enigmatic and the miraculous. This time, it’s not just any quest, but an exploration of the farthest reaches of our world in search of individuals who can defy logic with their extraordinary feats.

This exhilarating journey is chronicled in David Blaine’s new six-part documentary series titled “Do Not Attempt“. The series is set to premiere on National Geographic on March 23rd, but if you can’t wait that long, I have some exciting news! We have the exclusive first look at seven stunning posters inspired by comics, each one highlighting a region featured in the series. You can feast your eyes on all seven of these epic snapshots below. Enjoy!

The posters are themed around Brazil, Southeast Asia, the Arctic Circle, India, South Africa, and Japan. However, the first poster doesn’t depict a specific location. Instead, it showcases an impressive illustration that would leave Doctor Strange awestruck, given his current state of mind (he’s somewhat on edge lately due to not being the Sorcerer Supreme).

Each poster subtly suggests events in upcoming episodes, such as a car scorching the city streets with its tires, shattered glass, precarious situations involving axes, flaming-edged swords, and the icy expanses of the Arctic. It’s all thrilling, fitting Blaine’s taste, and you can explore all the new posters and episode descriptions below.
