Big Wow who cares, and they call this sort of thing Performing Art.

What has staying in a bloody box while hardly moving Performing art, am I missing something here, I thought that Performing meant movement of some sort.

I was going to tell you about the levitation trick, but then I thought why should I, because that will spoil it.

Because I know how it's done.

I caught him on a show the other day. He was walking on a city street doing assorted card & coin tricks, and he was pretty good. The last trick was actual levitation in front of 5 or 6 people. It appeared to be 4 or 5 inches off the ground.

How he do that???

He is a crap magician, it took him 44 days to get out?
Houdini would have got out of that box within minutes.

So, David Blaine emerges from his glass box tonight. What on earth has he achieved apart from some self-publicity? What a waste of 44 days!! Apparently he's lost about 20% of his muscle mass, has breathing problems and heart palpitations. He has been warned that any over-amorous advances on his girlfriend within 3 days could result in his death! It will take him 3-6 months to recover his health. I certainly trust that there will be a 'magic' twist to all this - he is after all an illusionist. Perhaps he isn't really in the box and it's some kind of hologram? Perhaps there's a mirror of some kind in the box and he's been eating and drinking in another section? If this proves not to be an amazing trick and he really has been sitting there starving, then it will be just an anti-climax and a totally fruitless stunt. All will be revealed at 9:30 pm GMT!
