I Guess Seeing David Blaine Die

[preppyak]

would be considered entertainment.

Since he's a fuckhead and didn't adequately think this through, he is now suffering from an earache, shooting pains, and peeling skin. He still plans to go through with the special on Monday, but I doubt he lasts 9 minutes.

Remember the "Trapped in Ice" one, where they had to cut him out early...seriously, he fails at all his stunts in some way, and they aren't that impressive because of it

[Saves The Night]

i really hope he does die, itd be like christmas

[Shatter590]

i visited him in his tomb today

he seemed very upbeat

[Pat is fat]

why would you want someone to die?

[believethehyph]

I'm sick of hearing bout this cunt.

[itsjdiggity]

can't wait to watch this tonight

[Brownpants06]

Haha, he's an idiot to sit in there for like 10 days.

[fedhed7]

I hope he doesn't die. I'm a Blaintologist.

our Scientology church will kick your asses

[Mitch]

While I don't really wish death on too many people, I think it would be kind of cool if he died. I mean come on, everyone would be talking about this for years to come.

[A picasso blue]

how is this being a magician?

[EdF]

"Blaine's previous feats included balancing on a 22-inch circular platform atop a 100-foot pole for 35 hours; being buried alive in a see-through coffin for a week; and surviving inside a massive block of ice for 61 hours"

What a crazy man

What a crazy man

Wow.

I never read anywhere that they had to pull him out early. What other feats has he "failed"?

He needs to stop doing these stupid things and just do street magic, cause that's the cool shit I want to watch.

he almost died in the ice. they pulled him out early

[FrancesTheMute]

ha, everyone is going to see him die live on network television.

[A picasso blue]

dont forget the time when he ate his own head. that was incredible

[A picasso blue]

this is talking about when he was in that box in London:

Newspapers reported that eggs, lemons, sausages (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sausages), bacon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon), water bottles, beer cans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_can), paint-filled balloons and golf balls had all been thrown at the box; a hamburger was flown round the box by radio-controlled model helicopter (a stunt organised and implemented by a British 'lads' magazine); one man was arrested for climbing the scaffolding supporting Blaine's box and attempting to cut the power and water supply to the box; and the magician was treated to numerous displays of bare bottoms and breasts.

"You've picked the wrong town to be hung in, Mr Blaine," wrote The Sunday Times (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sunday_Times). "What is clear from the start is that Londoners are not taking Blaine quite as seriously as he takes himself. ... Really, it makes you proud to be British."

Oh i love being british

David Blaine says he's in "pretty bad shape" as he nears the end of his latest feat — a week in an aquarium — but vowed to go through with his finale of holding his breath underwater for nearly 9 minutes.

1) how is he talking underwater?
2) i agree, since when is this magic? oooohhh, i will lie in a casket and live. oh, then i will suspend myself below a bridge. hmm, i like swimming, maybe i will live in a bubble! hmm, shit it's cold out, maybe i should live in an ice block!

edit: from the yahoo article:
Blaine's previous feats included balancing on a 22-inch circular platform atop a 100-foot pole for 35 hours; being buried alive in a see-through coffin for a week; and surviving inside a massive block of ice for 61 hours, all of which were performed in New York. In 2003, he fasted for 44 days in a suspended acrylic box over the Thames River in London.

impressive, sure. cool, maybe. magic, no.

[fromwithin]

i'd like to see ANY of you at least ATTEMPT to do what he has done for HALF the time. he's one of the most amazing human beings to ever walk the earth for all he's done and you all are nothing but ignorant assholes. the typical american, never satisfied.

[Robb]

"I'm in a box, and I ain't gonna eat."

[preppyak]

I don't think it is...it's not slight of hand...it's more dare-devilish than anything else

While I don't really wish death on too many people, I think it would be kind of cool if he died. I mean come on, everyone would be talking about this for years to come.
haha...the media feeding frenzy would be absurd
I never read anywhere that they had to pull him out early. What other feats has he "failed"?

yeah, that I'd like to see..his street magic is sweet

and maybe I am wrong, I thought he left the ice early, but maybe he was just really fucked up when he came out...I just fail to see what he is accomplishing.

its not that i can do it..


its just..why?

[preppyak]

1) how is he talking underwater?
there is a two-way radio in his breathing stuff I believe.

What has he done, other than test his body?

He hasn't done Mother Theresa shit, he's been in a box and in ice. Granted it tests the human body, but why the hell do I need to know how long I can be in a block of ice...please don't make him sound like some great savior.

[Stereo Therapy]

his hands look really yucky

[1moreandimfree]

criss angel is cooler than david blaine

[Serenity]

his hands and feet looked awful... I hope the guy is gonna be alright after this

[irthesteve]

1. this is gonna be exciting to watch, haha
2. i don't think he considers this magic, just random stunts
3. his street magic is the most entertaining thing to watch, he needs new street magic specials

[SingleDoubt]

oh man, that would be SUCH a huge thing if he died on live tv. holy shit. he probably wont though, its really easy to get someone out of water if they pass out or something. and even if he does, they'll revive him in an instant

[preppyak]

his hands look really yucky
yeah, it's real sick...like super pruned

he almost died in the ice. they pulled him out early
Ok, that's what I thought it was...I remember them having to try to do it really delicately, because the ice was cracking in spots, and they didn't want it to collapse or something...it's been 2 years since I've seen it or so

[preppyak]

haha, are you kidding me, they have Stuart Scott announcing this

[kshtoinks12]

where are these pictures of his hands, i don't see it on your link

[FOBcareemo]

thats fuckin sick

[preppyak]

so, why the fuck is he trying to get out of chains...holding his breath is enough

[Serenity]

haha, are you kidding me, they have Stuart Scott announcing this

I've still been waiting for him to say something like "his body's cool like the other side of the pillow" or some other stupid thing he says on SportsCenter

[YearsGoneBy]

2. i don't think he considers this magic, just random stunts yes

[Serenity]

oh, there he goes...

[Coronary Parasite]

[Imallout007]

8 minutes is badass no matter what anyone says

[Coronary Parasite]

8 minutes is badass no matter what anyone says
true, true.

but i still don't like him.

[dontgrabtindy]

hahahahha he didn't do it. he didnt do it all?

[marrost]

People talking shit on David Blaine? Get outta here. The guy is nuts I love it.

[kshtoinks12]

the ball they put him in is identicle to the one he put kyle in on south park.

[Bobcat46308]

those two chicks he won money for on the roulette table were SMOKING.
and also, has david blaine ever seen Casino? those places aren't in the business of losing money, i'm surprised they didn't beat the fuck out of him for using his magical powers in there.

[ActorInThisPlay]

how you can honestly wish death on him is beyond me...I hope he makes it out though.

[irthesteve]

he is harcore, no matter what anyone says
