David Blaine.....

This character has captured the attention of the world without resorting to sex, drugs, or any other vulgarity. He' s done it primarily with harmless stunts and " magic" tricks.

I' ve seen TV coverage of his slight of hand tricks and his supposed levitation, as a layman to magic stuff, I was impressed.

And now 44 days in a 7x7x3 foot box?????

I really really enjoy his " magic" . He is one of the greatest illusionist and entertainers of our time and in my opionion, a little under rated. However, I think his stunts like living in a block of ice or his latest, living in this box, are not only bizarre, they are kinda stupid.LOL Don' t get me wrong, I couldn' t do it but I can' t figure out why you' d want to?

His magic is really something. I think one reason that I' m impressed so much is that it is all done " on the street" and not on some big stage, where everything can be rigged. The guy is a master, I' ll give him that.

I' m with TxCowboy on this. Blaine' s " magic tricks" are great, but his stunts are bizarre and stupid. Stick to the tricks David, the other stuff just wastes everyone' s time--including yours.

He is lucky......some nut tried to cut off his air supply or was it his water supply? Hmmmm, guess I need some magic for my memory.

His stunts are absolutely brilliant. Not for their content...for their public relations. This guy managed to make WORLD news with the 44 day stunt. I' ll bet there are literally thousands of magicians in America alone that would love to be able to garner that kind of attention for 10 minutes, let alone 44 days.

That man is going to have a long career in a field that he has chosen and he will most likely be able to do it under his own terms. He has already painted himself as bizarre and somewhat ' dark' in nature. That stuff sells big time.

I admire his ability to sell himself. He has surfaced with a bang, and will be heard from again and again. After only a few years of that he will be able to call his own shots financially. Not bad for a " street magician."
