Tony Robbin's tedtalk was perhaps the most entertaining of the two. I did not totally enjoy his loose language, but I will admit half the time his choice of curse words did add a lively and relaxing effect to his topic. I found his approach to be interesting. At the beginning of the talk he made a clear point that the purpose of his presentation was not to be the motivator, but to ask people why they are motivated and understand what their motive is. His story about 9/11 was very engaging and held my attention. The audience also seemed to love his humor so his tedtalk was pretty successful I'd say.
David Blaine's tedtalk was interesting in a peculiar sort of way. The magician wasn't incredibly charismatic or energetic on stage or anything, but his topic was interesting in itself. I had heard of David Blaine prior to watching this tedtalk but did not know the extent of the madness of his feats until he named all of the most difficult ones he had done in the past. The methods he used to help physically prepare his body to hold his breath for so long were pretty ingenious and showed how mad he was upon hearing the regiment he put his body through. What made it so interesting was that the entire time he seemed to sound tired and passive, but his mood added to the sarcastic comments he would throw in every now and then.
