Blaine will give The Richmond Forum audience a rare look behind the physical feats that have expanded our understanding of what the human body can do; from the sources of the ideas, to his research and physical preparation, to the feats themselves, all undertaken for the purpose of making us believe the unbelievable.” 2 p.m. Tickets TBA.
