    Pretty pointless. Like E said, street magic is cool (sometimes), but I hate the stunts that he tries to pull, just like the current one.

    David Who??

    What an idiot.

    Or, are the people who watch him idiots?

    Or the TV guys who keep paying for these special stunts he does?

    Dunno, I'm sure his tricks require lots of skill and training, but they bore the crap out of me. I haven't watched one yet.

    I think he is a modern day Houdini.

    His street magic was great
    and his new tricks are even better.

    He shows what the human body can achieve.

    What is the difference between him and Evil Kenival?

    I don't think of David Blaine. I don't know what he does, and I certainly don't care.

    I think Charles Barkley is more entertaining when trying to hold his breath under water. 24 seconds on TNT last night.

    Kobe Bryant got to 45 sec. But that was sitting in a chair in the lockeroom.

    Roeper's article today said it all. At some point you have to admit that you were pulling for the water.

    Nothing. Both are masters of producing the illusion of danger when there is none at all.

    On April 5, 1999, Blaine spent seven days buried inside a glass coffin at the bottom of an open pit in front of an office building in New York City where passersby could view him, 24 hours a day.

    "There were Jewish Hasids standing next to Muslim cabdrivers who were next to Black kids. Businessmen in designer suits stood beside heavily pierced street kids. Every conceiveable social type was represented," recalls Blaine in his book Mysterious Stranger. "I saw something truly incredible. I saw every race, every age-group, and every religion gathered together smiling, and that made everything worth it. I saw magic!"
    _____

    On his Street Magic Specials - Birds of a feather flock together. Next clip - different birds of a feather. Next clip - different birds of a feather. Through his endurance stunts, he mixes all the birds of all the feathers. In tandem with this feel-good approach during feats of daring-do, he makes a fortune along with abc, as they jump the shark over and over again.

    he is entertaining and in the end that is all that matters - not whether he is good or not.

    some think he's an idiot....you've got to be kidding - it is easy to critique from the sidelines of life.

    on tv last night they said that he trained for this stunt for almost a YEAR. with the NAVY SEALS. and he still couldnt do it?
    he claims he did 8 1/2 mins in his "training" so thats why he thought he could do the 9 mins.

    i think is is dumb and gay. also i think he is a homo sexual :wink: just another attention whore.

    also that street magic is soooo edited. you can tell.

    so i am a skeptic, i guess you could say. in other words i have no time for this fool. just my :twocents:
