Jesus: "I will now turn this water into WINE!! Ok... Now turn around... Turn around, close your eyes"
 
Well basically he's been suspended by tower bridge in London in a clear plexiglass box. He's going to stay up there for 44 days (As his birthday is the 4th of the 4th month - mystical or something?) with no food but just water. I've been watching him with my RealOne broadband subscription.....it feels oddly voyeuristic, I hope he doesn't lose his mind while I'm watching.
 
I think half-way through all the skunk he's smoked these past few years is going to finally wear off, he'll come out of his haze and just be like:
"WHAT THE F*CK AM I DOING!? WHERE THE F*CK AM I!? WHY THE F*CK AM I IN A GLASS CAGE OVER THE THAMES!? CHRIST, WHEN DID I EVEN ARRIVE IN BRITAIN!? WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE WATCHING ME!? WHAT THE F*CK'VE I DONE THIS TIME!? OH JESUS!!"
 
think he took some diapers up with him - maybe he waits till like 3 in the morning or something when nobody's watching then does what he's gotta do. :x

lol yeh, did you see him in the interview before he went in, he looked and sounded so drugged up, like he'd just come out a mental institution.

Seriously tho, why is he doing it? So he doesnt eat for 44 days, wup de ****ing doo, even the guinness book of records isnt going to record it because they think hes just being amazingly stupid.

EDIT: it was roumoured that he wore somethinng like a nappie, i think he just has a tube tho
 
yeah, he has a tube....anyone seen his other tricks ?.

I think he was in a block of ice for 60 hours!!, and he stood on a really pole for...urm....a long time
 
yeh and he buried himself alive for a long time,
he must get so bored its unbelievable
 
LOL..
sounds like an episode from Monty Python's Flying circus

lol, yeah :LOL:, i told my mummy about this and she replied..."GOD HES SICK!!!!" LOL
 
theres a lil whole on the bottom of the see thru box where he poops and pees out of. He better hope he doesnt drop a missle, prolly wont fit in the hole. Roofles

Note: I have no idea if theres a hole on the bottom, just assuming if there was one :]
 
watch, when you get old you're gona say to yourself "why didn't I hang myself in a glass box on top of the Thames for 44 days?"
 
I prefer Derren Brown. Now, that guy is scary.
 
I really hate david blaine, he thinks he is magical when it is all illusions, damn he must have some good bud or something to be able to go along with some of the shit he does.
 
The good news is that after about 3 weeks his stomach will start digesting itself, causing him severe pain.

/me dances

Oh, I got a better idea...

/me throws a grenade in the top of the box.

:D

EDIT: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ME COMMAND, AHHHHHHGGHGHGH@!
 
its obviously an illusion, therefore you wont be seeing piss and shit flying everywhere and you wont see him die either, sorry..
 
If you lot have heard of sky digital, then head on over to sky one and press the red button...you can look through a camera placed in the pod when ever you like :D
 
He pee's through a tube, he craps into these bag things then drops them into a hole in the bottom of the cage.

He is a illusionist, thats what he does. Illusions, not real magic, its an act, he doesn't even say its magic. I think he basically wants to be the later day Houdini.

Anyway, i don't know what is really happening in that cage. I do know though that people can last for that long without food, the S.A.S are trained to survive for about that long on only water. This guy has obviously made preparations for it.
Like when he stood on the pole, for about a year before it, he practised doing that.
 
he actually says that he has made no preporations for this even, whether to believe him or not is different.

and whats the difference between illusion and magic? isnt magic just illusions?
 
Apparently the people arranging it wont let anyone else have samples of the water they're giving him - probably because its full of vitamins and food supplements :)
 
Why you guys hating on Blaine? I think its great what hes doing. Most of you couldnt stay in there for more than 4 days before getting too bored/HUNGRY and bailing out. I doubt any of you could last longer than a week infact. All hes doing is demonstrating the possibilities of a discliplined mind, and that we are capable of greater feats than we give ourselves credit for.

As a metaphysical practitioner i feel its a good thing when someone demonstrates that there is more to us than it would seem.
 
They are giving him water? OMG, that is so cheap. I could stay up there for 44 days if they gave me that Gatorade water that has nurtients added to it. What a buncha bullshit. I like his street performing, but this stuff, like the pole and ice thing, are a waste of time.

Im sure he has been doing something, he just wont tell anyone. Perhaps im wrong though.


Anyway. Magic is supposed to be...well magic, not just some trick that is perfectly able t be rationalised etc.

Illusion is exactly what its name suggests as well. Its all an illusion i.e. not real. Like optical illusion, a trick of the eye. Just because you are seeing the lines bend when they are put across a circle, doesnt mean they do bend.

I bet if you saw the short interview before he went up in the cube you wouldnt be saying that.

he was asked a question like why are you going up there?
and he said "i dont know, i dont know anything" in the voice of a junkie, lol
 
The SAS are trained to survive for 2 weeks with only water, not 44 days lol. After 44 days there muscles would have degraded so much that they wouldn't be able to lift the gun.

He's gotta have some shit in the water they're giving him, if he doesn't come out really skinny with no muscles, he obviously cheated.
 
wont he get like blisters and wounds on the ass?
sitting in the same spot on plastic for 44 days cant be good for the skin and such.. :)
 
I just don't like him.... just the way he comes across.... this isn't magic, like Sparrow said :p
