saw this on a uk based board recently and it cracked me up (about his stunt where he was in a glass box suspended over the river Thames in London):
The Times reported that eggs, lemons, sausages, bacon, water bottles, beer cans, paint-filled balloons and golf balls had all been thrown at the
box.[18] The Evening Standard reported that one man was arrested for attempting to cut the water supply to Blaine's box.[20] According to BBC News,
Page 3 girls and glamour models from various men's magazines flashed at him and a burger was flown up to the box by a remote-controlled helicopter as
a taunt.[21]
One notable critic of the stunt was British satirist Marcus Brigstocke. Brigstocke, who normally refers to Blaine as the "Git Wizard", commented on
the negative attitude of the British public had towards the stunt on BBC Radio 4 comedy program The Now Show by saying that:
"I have never been more proud of the British public that I have been over the past six weeks. The depth of cynicism that we can sink to within mere
moments of an idiot doing something idiotic that isn't for charity. It's truly magnificent. There's no apthay in this country - not when there's a
moron in a box doing something moronic. We're out in force. He was about as near to the East End as he dared to get, I tell you. Another 200 yards
downriver and that police bill would have been a lot higher. He wouldn't have been wiping eggs off the side of his box, it would have been skulls. …
I'll be honest folks, it was my hope that David Blaine would die in that box and we could leave him there as a warning to all numb-nutted wizard scum
that we won't tolerate this nonsense here. … Go home David Blaine, spend the $5,000,000 you made well. If you want to beat you 44 day record, I can
only suggest you attempt to double it underwater."[22]
i can clearly remember when he was doing that and when it got to like 2am on a Friday or Saturday when everyone was steaming drunk, someone would
always say 'oi let's go down the Thames and chuck shit at David Blaine'.clevohardcore - 9-26-2008 at 03:12 PM
My professor was going off about how cool this guy is. I would have to dissagree.BDx13 - 9-26-2008 at 04:09 PM
his light of hand 'magic' is cool, but all this hanging around is bullshit.clevohardcore - 9-26-2008 at 06:35 PM
That is exactly what the Professor said. His slight or light of hand. Whatever that shit is is supposed to be cool.CR83 - 9-27-2008 at 05:16 PM
Yeah that slight of hand shit blows my mind. I don't even want to know how it's done. I just think it is awesome.
