Sky are currently aiming to actually broadcast the series live through the internet, with more interactive ability. One suggestion has been you email your questions in live and David will reveal the answers, on the spot or later in the show.
Sky claim that David’s persona is what will sell the magic to you, the shows format is presenter come chat-show host. Sky are requesting magicians to appear on the show along side David Blaine as guest stars.

Due to several exhibitions; Geno Munari's new Houdini museum been one, opening up and cashing in on doing just this, Sky seem to have decided to bring it to the masses through this mini series.
I guess David Blaine was chosen for his popularity and as he has had the spot light of late, he also mixes the knowledge of magic and illusion seamlessly. It may also have to do with ALL of his effects have been revealed through the internet which has not helped career in the least.
