David Blaine Master Illusionist
I Am Amazed By This Guy, Obviously His 'Street Magic' Is All Illusions But Still It Takes Considerable Skill To Perform!
His Stunt Tonight, I Believe Its Called 'Above The Below' Or Something Along Those Lines.
I Read In The Newspaper That He Understands He Will Lose A Minimum Of 50lbs And Could Risk Brain Damage (To Which Extent is Unsure).
I Personally Believe He Will Pull Through This 'Thinner' But Un-Harmed...Your Thoughts?
Aparantly all he will have is water. What we dont know is if the water contains any food substitute, glucose or any other additive. Maybe it is genuine but who knows. The Guiness Book of Records won't accept it as they dont endorce fasting record attempts.

True, True...
But Like His Other Stunts:- Standing On Top Of A 30ft Pole In NYC For 33 Years, I Don't Think Any Illusions Would Account For That.
I Suppose Illusions Could Be Used In This Particular Stunt At The Moment...But I Believe It Too Be True.
If It IS True...Do You Think He Will Last 44 Days? Or Give Up Somwhere In Between?

It's something that may be impossible to ever know. OK good luck to him. It's just hard to balance the whole illusionist thing with this.

Shazaam!
Maybe it's a girl thing but that guy gives me the creeps. The starvation thing is just madness if he's actually going to do it. And the 44 days and nights in total isolation? He probably does that often - involuntarily. I wouldn't choose to hang out with him.
In fairness though my opinion of him is probably poisoned by 'Bo Selecta'.
