He puts on an amazing show but don't believe everything you see on TV.

I have no problems with that. I have no problems with illusionists either. I have though problems with shameless liars, and Blaine is one. When he tells he is going to beat a freediving world record and going to make the longest breath-hold any human ever did, then those are three lies and no illusions - first, he was not going to make a world record, since he did not respect the rules under which the other were done; second he was not going to make the longest breath-hold (those were a full minute longer than the official record and his planned stunt), and third he was doing it under oxygen. Those are no illusions, those are outright lies.
Otherwise I do not agree with you - everything what is on TV
is true. It's magic. Even Blair tells nothing than the purest truth when speaking on TV.
