David Blaine

[3rd gen noob]

David Blaine is planning to go into a 3 foot wide box for 44 days suspended 40 feet above the river thames without food or water

the question is not whether he can survive this 'amazing' challenge, but how much of a tit is this guy?

At the site Titey posted, it says:

He will have just a set of clothes and a blanket, no food, and will receive only water via a feeding tube. He will have pens and paper to keep a journal (perhaps to be published later) and very little else to keep his mind occupied. His bodily functions will be handled with a small backpack containing diapers and a tube to urinate in.
So I guess he does get water, but 44 days without food? :blink:

[3rd gen noob]

i must have misheard/misremembered re: water

sorry

Awww.... it&#39;s faked anyway.... always is. :rolleyes:

[asmithz]

"If it was clear Gatorade, you could probably survive on it forever," Dr. Kuehl said.

WOW didnt know that.

[JONNO_CELEBS]

I like Blaine.....think he is an amazing Magi with cards coins etc.....I can do most of his stuff.....but WTF...is all this standing on sticks and getting in ice cubes?? :blink: ......It&#39;s not magic and anyone who has enough will power and is stupid enough could do it with no skill required :rolleyes:
Me thinks one of the greatest magi&#39;s ever has finally lost the plot :(

@Titey.....He may fake this......don&#39;t see how it&#39;s possible to be without food for 44 days :blink: .......But the previous ones he actually done.........don&#39;t need to fake them :D

[lynx]

Can I suggest he tries one about 2m long, height about 0.5m, width varying between 0.5m at each end to a maximum of about 0.8m near one end.

It is such an obvious con, I really can&#39;t undestand why anyone bothers to take it seriously.

[chalice]

There is more charisma in a blancmange than there is in David Blaine.
He tries to be mysterious and succeeds only in looking stoned.

Apparently Michael Stone has joined some agency where you can get him to come to your party, social gathering, whatever.

:lol: nice one man&#33; :D Nice area and all that - walking, bike, car or what then matey&#33;? Not sure how the whole Royal Mail / Insignia ( :unsure: ) thing works, apart from they lost about 4 thigns of mine, and mislayed a DVD sent to my house&#33;
Oh well ya gotta love ´em :D :D

[chalice]

It&#39;s the old bike for me, Bill.
Haven&#39;t been on one in years, though (a bike that is).
Judging by the blank expressions on the spotty teenagers&#39; faces at the aptitude test, you know that spidey type, Bill, I&#39;ll walk the interview.
Hate to blow my own trumpet (if I could do that I&#39;d never leave the house) but I was the best of a bad bunch. And the aptitude test was piss easy.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Shit man i know exactly the type, but working for Royal Mail &#33; F*ck me &#33;&#33; In that case im sure you will man, and i have seen the types in the Job Centre and at a few of my interviews. Scary to say the least. One guy at the Bru (the one time i went there and ended up walking out anyway) was told he had recieved enough, he was on the Bru was 15 years, the lady shouted over the heads of all the bums and teenagers you talk of (PMSL) - almost not funny in a way too though.

And the aptitude test&#33;? Involved what&#33;? Hands on handlebars or what&#33; Let me know&#33;

And thanks for reminding me about those types....oh i remember them with a fond hatred and laughable sympathy :D :D

Might have to go for my huge lunch soon so ill see ya around, take it easy my man, and oh yeah, one more question, would u be working mornings (shitty ass early mornings?&#33;) or what then &#33;?

[chalice]

I don&#39;t mind the mornings too much, Bill.
I&#39;ve been changing shitty nappies for the last four years.
I&#39;m well looking forward to getting TF outta here.
I&#39;m so glad to hear from you again, mate.
Enjoy your lunch.
Don&#39;t be a stranger.

found this link about it through Google news

http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/world/ne...000/3167295.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/world/newsid_3167000/3167295.stm)

the bit i love is the last line:
We do not recommend hanging from a crane in a small plastic box for six weeks.

(This is a kids news show, for those who dont know)

:lol:

[dlingeverything]

This is a bit offtopic b/c it is on topic but...

David Blaine is much better doin his
street magic and acting like he is stoned

Re: "watch"

Now he is just doing stunts.
And most of the ppl watching him are
hoping he gets hurt and there is some
kind of emergency.

...so it&#39;ll be OK to do it in october then? :huh:

[dwightfry]

44 days without food is very possible. My cousin is a chyropracter and goes on fasts regularly. Generally it is 2 days a week, but a couple of months ago he went 40 days. He said it was difficult. So it is entirely possible, and if you train yourself into it, entirely healthy.

yeah, it&#39;s possible of course, however, missing out on essential vitamins/minerals/electrolytes etc can not be entirely healthy

[chalice]

3rd Gen, sorry about the interuption earlier in the thread.
I just don&#39;t think there&#39;s any imagination in his stunts.
It&#39;s fine to be an exibit but Eval Keneval (sp?) he ain&#39;t.

That&#39;s why I suggested a different type of box.
Then we could perhaps have a little &#39;accident&#39;

Sort of: &#39;hey guys, you forgot to burn this one&#39;. :flame: :lol:

Actually, that could be better put, simply as "how many of his sexual organs is he willing to risk?"
Freezing one&#39;s self for three days cannot be good for the testicles, and going without food or sexual stimulation for fourty days has to be truckloads worst.

[RGX]

I heard from a reliable source (my mother lol) that for the ice thing they used mirrors to make it look like he was in the cube at certain points, so he could rest

Apparently there was a big outrage about it or something

EDIT:Ohhh yeah and I can explain the floating thing

TRICK SPOILER

first of all, David goes out into the street and gets his camera man to film peoples reaction to him rising (ever so slightly) off the ground by doing the old fashioned "heels together" thing where he lifts a couple of inches with his foot. The crowd are amazed and the camera man gets the reactions, while crucially, not filming david. Then, they go for the famous "behind arm" shot, where the camera man is behind the arm of one of the supposed spectators, usually on the far left, and David appears to be floating several feet off the ground. What is really happening, is this "arm" is actually an actor or extra wearing the same top as the real person who gave the reaction (if your with me), and david is being lifted by crane. Crucially, and the real flaw in the stunt, is that you never get a shot of the audiences reaction and david floating really high, in the same shot. All don with faked reactions and some basic camera trickery

this was written really quickly so if you want it more thoroughly, umm, ask me tommorow

[chalkmongoose]

That would make a lot more sense than Blaine floating.
