David Blaine legit?

Nope. His latest stunt, he was supposed to be UPSIDE DOWN for 60 hours straight, but he cheated. every 45 minutes, he took a 10-15 minute break. And apparently poeple who were there for his "dive of death" totally saw the cable.


God he sucks...

AND I just heard it from his own mouth, he stood up every hour for using the potty, and putting on his sunscreen and chapstick.

I don't spend hours glued to a TV set so I have no idea what stunts you're refering to. Have any links for more info?

I dont watch TV, but I heard about it on the radio. Basically, he was supposed to hang upside down for 60 hours straight, which is supposed to be impossible because the blood vessels in your head are designed to have blood pumped UP to them.

So he was going to risk blindness and possible death by doing this. He was supposed to do sit-ups every once in a while to counteract this.


So he did not one sit up, and they had a cherry picker right next to him so he could do what I listed above... And it all stems from this:
"He realized he could not pee into a cathetar upside down."

But they still went ahead with it because he was paid a bunch of money to do it.

I had never even heard of him until he did the ice block stunt, and in interviews he seemed like a world class douche bag. The South Park episode with him confirmed that I wasnt the only one that thought so, and now we see, he is a LYING douchebag. Good work, Dave.

Hmmmm, I believe he never actually said he'd be doing it for that length of time without stop. I like some of his street magic but his endurance tricks are just silly. The underwater one was cool, especially since he finally did break the record on another attempt (although he's already been beaten again).

I thought it was grea the way when he came to London to live in that glass box he seemed to think people would respect and admire his "bravery". Instead he got eggs chucked at him and constant teasing by spectators and the tabloids!

I think David Blaine and Criss Angel are both douches and should just give up at trying to be illusionist or magicians or whatever the hell they think they are.
