David Blaine
I hope this is in the right Forum.
I was just wondering because i have heard loads of debates about this.... Do you think he is crazy for going in the glass box for 44 days and having nothing but water ? What about the other things he has done like being burried alive and in ice? Some of his tricks he does in the street are amazing but do you think he has taken things too far or hasn't he? |

I think he's amazing. I don't know anything about his stunts you mentioned, but we used to watch him when we'd catch him on, and were always impressed w/ his tricks. Haven't seen him in a while, though. (Must've been in that box.

I've seen a few specials on tv about him. He's a very freaky guy from what I've seen. Good card tricks and stuff, but he's just to strange.

Well I never heard about his being in a glass box. That's really not daring or exciting in the very least.
For the most part though, I think he's an alright guy, who just enjoys that kind of crazy stuff. I have no problem with that. But it's his blasted producers or whoever does that stuff. Remember when they invented that story about his 'practicing' the tornado of fire trick until he passed out. First of all, how asre you supposed to practice a stunt like that. "Okay Dave. Stand there, and I'll keep flipping this switch on and off until you're sure you know what to do." That's a terrible publicity stunt and I hate those people.

On channel 4 site there is a daily update of how he is coping etc while he is in the
box.http://www.channel4.com/entertainmen...ine/index.html Personally i think he's pretty stupid for going in the box and not eating. Some of the things that could happen to him i don't understand why he want's to it. I repect him though and hope he's ok and nothing happens to him while he's in and some of his other stuff makes him amazing but he's a bit daft. ![]() |

I don't see what the point of the box thing is. What's he trying to prove - how much he likes being the centre of attention? It's really stupid and not clever at all.
I'm almost tempted to go up to London and throw some eggs myself ![]()

Lots of people been arrested for heckling him..or apprehended, including (shock! Horror!) Paul Mcartney...
I went down there the other day, and there were a fair few policmen hanging around... My opinion on the whole thing is..It's just so bloody stupid! They're wasting police time on something which isn't harming anyone, they could be catchingpeople who are actually doing something wrong. All that will happen to them is they'll get taken to the station for a few hours, cautioned, fined if they're VERY unlucky, and set free, wasting everyone's time. If the prat WANTS to hang himself in a box above the thames, he ought to expect things like that, but people just pander to him, he'll make over £1 million out of the publicity.. Nice work if you can get it, but I agree with sween, if he was doing it for charity, i'd support him, but since he's not... I'll see you guys on Tower Bridge, don't forget your eggs ![]()

lol hee hee
This was quite a while ago but i heard it wasn't actually going to do it for the original amount of time. There is going to be some kinda set up and they are going to say he's really ill and start to lower but the chain holding him is going to snap and the glass box is going to fall into the Themes and everyone is going to think he got killed and then he is going to turn up again a few days later. I heard a lot of different versions of this stunt ![]() |

I happen to find it an interesting statement on human nature that so many people would behave that way to anyone who was just doing something he wanted to do. And everyone always talks about how people who want to be different than others, to dress differently and so on should be accepted, blah blah blah. It's all just gum flapping, people really hate people who are different or do different things -- this is just a big example of it. That people actually take time out of their lives to go down there and throw things or whatever. Give me a break.

Azalea: yes, the perpetrators desrve what they get, but i do feel that David is NOT just 'doing his own thing' i think he's doing this to make a lot of money, all of which will go to line his own pocket, if people bother to go and see him, buy newspapers with him in etc. He should at least give a little back by giving some to charity, if it wern't for people paying money for the publicity, he'd never be able to do this..
By the way, that statment on the end was a joke. I don't want to offend you, i was just saying what i think. If you choose to ignore this stunt entirley, that's your choice, and good for you.
