A person is amazed when something that seems impossible or difficult to achieve actually happens.
For example, a person might say they were amazed that they won the lottery.
To blow your mind something would have to happen that surprised you so much you couldn't or didn't know what to say.
The reaction would be more extreme than being amazed.
A person who is fascinated by something is irresistibly attracted to it, but not necessarily amazed.
For example, a man might be fascinated by the stars in the night sky.
Hope this helps
