David Blaine’s Do Not Attempt Embraces the Extreme in Stunning New Comic Posters (Exclusive)

David Blaine often takes on the impossible and makes it look easy, and now he’s traveling to the farthest corners of the world in search of extraordinary individuals and true feats of magic. This search takes place in Blaine’s new six-part documentary series Do Not Attempt, which will premiere on National Geographic on March 23rd, but you don’t have to wait until then to get a look at these epic adventures. To celebrate the launch, we’ve got your exclusive first look at seven gorgeous comic-inspired posters, with each one spotlighting one of the regions featured in the series, and you can check out all seven new posters below.

The posters are based on Brazil, Southeast Asia, the Arctic Circle, India, South Africa, and Japan, though the first poster isn’t actually based on a location. It features the Title and an illustration that would make Doctor Strange envious though, especially right now with the whole not Sorcerer Supreme thing happening (he’s a little…edgy at the moment after all.)

Each poster also seems to hint at things that will be present in the episodes, which include a car racing through the streets and burning through its tires, glass bottles shattering and perilous scenarios with axes, fire-cloaked swords, and the frozen depths of the Arctic Circle. It’s all dangerous, but it’s also right up Blaine’s alley, and you can check out all of the new posters and the official descriptions for each episode below.

“I’m discovering incredible people with unbelievable talents, pushing the limits of what’s possible. It’s been a privilege to learn from them,” Blaine said. “As a magician, I’m in awe of their abilities because, for me, the most magical moments aren’t tricks but human potential realized.”
