'Has anyone made David disappear yet?': Victoria Beckham begs David Blaine to make husband vanish in a puff of smoke on TV special
She always waxes lyrical about their deep love and even nicknamed him Goldenballs.
But that did not stop Victoria Beckham from begging David Blaine to make her husband vanish on the magician's latest TV special on Tuesday.
The former Spice Girl delivered the best line of the night on the programme, despite the fact she was not even on-camera at the time, on ABC's Beyond Magic.
He really did do the impossible: David Blaine managed to outsmart sagacious soccer star David Beckham on his Beyond Magic TV special on Tuesday
She spoke out from another room after hearing awestruck former England player David bleat, 'How is that even possible?' following one of the jolly mage's demonstrations of the arcane arts.
With surprisingly effective comic timing Posh Spice chimed in: 'Has anyone made David disappear yet?'
Chance would be a fine thing, but the retired midfield plodder instead shared a verbose description about what he had witnessed, with producers helpfully adding footage during his monologue.
Former Manchester United star David said: 'You have no idea what happened. This is ridiculous.'
Classic misdirection: It seemed David was being led up the garden path when he was asked to think of an animal
What a tangled web he weaves: For the powerful mage then decided to sew his mouth closed
A real spooler: The footballer and the fans at home were no doubt stumped by his trick
He's no Wayne Dobson: But he had his namesake gripped as he sewed his mouth
Elucidating further, David explained: 'He says name an animal he can keep alive in his hand. I said frog.
'So he sewed his mouth shut with needle and thread I thought the sewing the mouth was the trick, forgot about the frog bit.'
Which made it all the more shocking for the former MLS star when, 'Live frogs came out of his mouth!'
Adding a final blasphemous flourish to his description David added, 'Oh my God.'
Totally taken in: David screwed up his face as he watched his friend perform the improbable
A frog in his throat: He delivered a stunning climax by spitting a frog from his sewn mouth
Devestated: Perhaps the last time he looked so emotional was when he blazed his penalty over the bar in England's devastating Euro 2004 loss to Portugal
Star of the show: Victoria was not even on the screen when she delivered her verbal coup de mâitre
Piff paff poof: The Great Soprendo himself would have been proud of David's trick
But David was not the only one to take the Lord's name in vain after seeing one of the powerful wizard's awe-inspiring miracles.
Indeed prominent Scientologist John Travolta was the surprising culprit after the potent enchanter penetrated his ring with a clothes hanger.
After swallowing the piece of jewellery David requested the hanger, which he rammed down his throat then pulled it out again with the band threaded on.
As he held the trinket on the piece of wire, the Saturday Night Fever star said, 'Oh my God,' no doubt suppressing the urge to exclaim 'Eighth Dynamic' instead.
For his next trick: Schwarzenegger fans were doubtlessly hoping David would make Arnold's ridiculous hat disappear
'See you at the party Richter': The Austrian Oak surely asked for his business card after the show
'Oh my God': Prominent Scientologist John Travolta could not resist blaspheming
Gobsmacked: Kelly Preston could not believe the jolly mage had managed to penetrate her husband's ring with a wire coathanger
Other stars who were astounded by the 43-year-old's acts of astonishment included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Emma Stone and Johnny Depp, who told his new showbiz pal, 'that was amazing' after he performed the same trick he did for Travolta.
Indeed staging the same effect for different people was a recurring theme, as he executed both his ring and frog routines, with the odd minor variation, for a number of the stars, the latter thrilling both Drake and Dave Chapelle as well as Beckham.
And Australian lovely Margot Robbie was left almost speechless for once after the charismatic conjurer managed to read her and a friend's mind not once, but twice.
The 26-year-old blonde beauty was particularly blown away the second time, after he correctly guessed one of the letters of a word she had chosen was R, before writing 'numerous' on her chum's hand.

R you kidding? The actress could not believe he guessed one of the letters of her word
Amazing feat: David managed to leave the Australian lovely speechless for once
Stupefied: No doubt Margot has not been so amazed since she learned Suicide Squad was a hit
Mindfreak: Criss Angel will be jealous he was not the one doing magic for Margot
In many ways the show's main function was to promote David's first ever live tour, after almost 20 years as a world famous magician, and he spent much of the episode hyping up his version of the bullet catch.
The dangerous illusion has been performed by such global luminaries as Scotland's Great Wizard Of The North John Henry Anderson in the 1800s and most famously Chung Ling Soo, who was killed while performing the effect in London in 1918.
David's version saw him hold a metal cup in his mouth, protecting his teeth with a mouthguard, and having a rifle round fired into his face at point blank range.
Depp-ly disturbed: Johnny was another who was amazed after David swallowed his ring
Dave vs Dave: But Blaine seemed to have outsmarted Chappelle by coughing up frogs
It beats watching Dynamo: Drake was amused and repulsed by the charismatic conjurer
Hard to swallow: David's first attempt at sword swallowing did not go according to plan
Steel-ing the show: But he soon picked up the skill as he prepared to catch a bullet
Miraculously he was not killed after performing the stunt, though one of his concerned lackeys threatened to quit his job if he continued to perform the trick.
He was concerned as David's mouthguard broke during the performance, causing him to get a slight cut inside his mouth.
But David promised to solidier on for the amusement of his audience, exclaiming, 'It's fine. It's not your fault... I'm alive.'
One bullet, one cup: David's finale was firing a bullet into his mouth from close range
Pulling the trigger: The moment was caught in slow motion after he shot the bullet
Ouch: His bald sidekick looked concerned as his boss held his mouth in pain
Cut: David was told by his doctor that he had suffered a minor wound
The show must go on: But he bravely insisted he will perform the trick in his forthcoming live tour
