David Blane still going?
 

Anyone know if he is still in that box or did he give up?

Think he was shot or something.

Oh sorry, thats he should have been shot .... At birth :thumbsup

is he still alive?????

no clue.. id like to know

Yep...
http://www.davidblaine.com

they are without a doubt putting salt in his water to avoid complications, although they don't mention it.

Just shoot the fucker.

He is giving all American citizens a bad name :2 cents:

Put him out of our misery :321GFY

Hope he's not let back into the US

most of his close-up street tricks were cool

but who gives a shit if he stays in a fucking box

i hear he got felt up by the queen

this is his stupidest idea yet, hes kinda gay now

How in the hell is he doing that? You must be one of those people that likes to argue just to argue. Even if you don't have a good point.

"WATCH DAVID BLAINE LEAVE THE BOX AFTER 44 DAYS OF STARVATION AND ISOLATION ON MONDAY 20 OCTOBER AT 10PM CHANNEL 4"

woohoo

Hmmm lets see...

He is acting like a asshat in another country for one.

How would you like it if a magician of another country came across and started acting all holier than thou?

He is nothing but a trickster, call it what you will, yes it is entertaining but at the same time he is an obnoxious arrogant fuck head, dos anyone really give a shit if he spends 44 days in a box? Is it solving any great life threatening issues?

We all need validation but there is a limit at which people should go to get this validation, acting like an assclown is one of those limits.

Can you imagine how bad he's gonna stink when he gets outta there, ha ha ha.

At least when school kids or cancer survivors plan on doing something crazy, they collect pledges to donate to charity. I remember doing the weekend fast in high school and the jump rope for Heart thing in elementary school, not to mention the Terry Fox Run, etc etc.

All he's doing is sitting in a box and being a freak, and it's not even benefitting anyone.

If you think that it's some magician who's responsible for the bad name you have in the rest of the world, you're way off. It's the fact that you'd rather watch Fear Factor then learn to read, or vote, or care about anything. It's the fact that you're going to elect a war criminal for a second term as your leader, when he hasn't done a single good thing for you and he didn' t even win the first time. Those are (some of) the reasons for your BAD name, trust me it's not David Blane. :1orglaugh

You should proof-read your grammar before criticizing someone else's lack of education. :)

:2 cents:

Well he is benefitting himself. Big ass publicity stunts keep his name in the news. I wonder what kind of bank this guy makes.

Still would smell like a bouqet of roses compared to an Indian or Armenian :):thumbsup

His last two lame stunts (icebox, standing on pole) in the US didn't meet expected audience levels. That's why he's doing his third lame stunt in London. All those Brits causing trouble are generating more publicity than he could have ever dreamed of. His marketing ploy seems to be working. Hopefully he doesn't come back.

If you proof read your GFY posts, you have problems.

Great Point, if he was doing it for charity, say 1 million a day to ? then I think alot of people would be behind him, instead he just looks like a loser.

i agree, the irony is that near to where he is doing the stunt in london, loads of homeless people live in cardboard boxes without food, but not through choice, the area is called cardboard city. if he had raised money for the homeless or some other charity it might have meant something. as it is it's a bore and has little support in this country at least.

Didn't you all watch a show on Discovery. They showed how all his tricks work. Also those 44 days in the ice is bullshit.
Damn i can't remember the name of the show, but it was on discovery channel.

David gets 5 million pounds if he survives the 44 days.

And thats just from Channel 4.

They showed him on Howard Stern in the ice thing..

One day he had no sweater..the next day..he had one..yet wasnt supposed to get out..haha

I am really wondering how he is doing it though. Afterall, he is a magician. There is a trick to it. Putting nutrisions in the water might be one way, but I doubt that is not controlled, is it?

Don't forget. If you would sit somewhere, doing nothing, and not eating for 30 days, just drinking, you would:

a) not have any muscle-mass (sp?) left
b) most of your fat reserves are burned out too (muscles are burned first though)
c) your organs are on the dinner plate next.

I did not see that, but I know that plenty of people claim that Blane is actually not INSIDE that glass box, that its all fake.

Heck, you see people like Copperfield letting people disappear infront of your eyes, why not figure out a way to project someone into that box.

But I doubt that thats it. I saw him hanging in there a few days ago, and it sure did look real.

on Discovery they showed that when workers spray ice cube with water person inside exits from the hole at the bottom and puts a 1:1 photo inside
then he gets food and relax.
also it is not cold inside. i fotgot how they do it though.

again same show on discovery channel.

They said that all those big tricks are only for TV, and they are no tricks at all.

they showed one trick
big ass truck was paked, there was a fence around it.
fence was covered with cloth.
there were people with standing around the fence holding the hands.
Magician going inside, cloth covers the fence that you can't see shit, coupe of minutes later cloth goes down, magician is there, but not truck.


well what they did is.
all people that came signed a contract that they will not disclose shit to public.
so what they do is on one end people move away, they open the fence, drive the truck aways, close the fence, people start to hold hands together.

thats it
no tricks, nothing
just for tv.
when you watch it, you assume it is real cause he is magician, but in fact 5 year old can do it.

I love you Elizabeth.

Of course, these kinds of tricks are easy...

I am talking about stuff like copperfield's road-show though. Where you actually sit 5 meters from the friggin thing and 10 people disappear <G> (And its a round stage). Of course its a TRICK but its not easy. Amazing thing also is that copperfield claims he has 3 or more ways to do each trick, so when one way gets uncovered they can switch to another one.

aha he's starting to look like a terrorist.

Some of you people don't read much do you? The skeptics are having him tested to see if his team is putting sugar in his water. They're not. He wasn't allowed to bring any food into the box with him, and he's pulled out all the contents of his bag to show he wasn't hiding anything. Unless it's up his ass, he has nothing in there with him. The urinalysis reports show that he is starving.

David Blaine is an amazing person. It takes lots of strength(mind and body) to pull off what he is pulling off. I'd like to see one of you shit talkers try and succeed like I think he will.

:2 cents:

I saw Copperfield botch a trick in Daytona Beach in 1994.

Water came out of this "box" he was stabbing with swords, there was this horrific scream and then the curtains closed.

We sat there for 25 minutes before he came out and did an odd "childhood" fly trick then left the stage. :) I'll never forget it.

Dude don't take it personally, it's GFY:thumbsup

still there and still fucking up our traffic and making us late to work.

i think he's gonna do something cool...maybe disappear from the box on the 44th day. He freakin levitates - he can do anything

I think someone needs to call Jesus and the Super Best Friends!!


If you don't get it, then you weren't meant too.

unfortuenatly

A drunk Magician in a bar levitated for me better than David Blane does it. The one at the very end of his special where he's a foot off the ground is faked for TV, it's not what the people on the street are seeing. They're seeing the ones where he goes one inch or so off the ground, which is easy. Note how he makes sure people are lined up at the right place so they can't see his left toes on the ground. He can't "do anything", by the end of the night I was getting the hang of it myself.

You a Blanetologist?

Damn. People still beleive that shit ?? :eek7

Jesus Christ !!

He does magic. Now i don't know how he is doing it, but i can assure you the box thing is not a straight forward 44 day stunt.
