Nah doesn't really appeal to me
I liked his street magic, but I find this 'endurance' stuff he does
pretty dull tbh.
tbh its not the fact that he won't be eating up there that'd worry me, what is he gonna do in his head for 6 weeks alone.....
All his street magic was fake...I watched this program where it explained how he did all of his tricks one by one and most of it was clever camera work etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was fake as well, they say a tube will be feeding him water...how do people know water is the only thing in that tube? TBH all I think he's testing is to see if he can last that long without getting too bored.
Also what happened to that russian roulette thing he was planning to do? That's gotta be set up, there'd be no way channel 4 would screen it otherwise. The channel would be shut down if it showed someone basically comitting suicide live.
that wasn't david blaine planning the russian roulette , thats derren brown, and its still afaik gonna happen
Respect to David Blaine for all the silly things he does. The street magic was, I agree, far more entertaining, although not on par with Paul Zennon!
Derron Brown is a genius though. I loved Mind Control.
Paul zennon? is he the dude that spins a pint of newcastle brown around his head on a dog lead? he rocks :D
Derren brown is the daddy of em all though, he does some SERIOUS mind bending stuff!
i belive in his magic ...
i remeber when he did an advert once and showed the pack of cards to the camera,he then asked the viewers at home to choose one.
he then threw the pack of cards at the car window and it was the card i had chose.. i was like WTF !!!!!!!!!! :D
Yeah, I think that's the chap. Curly hair like :>
The day after my operation last week, one of my mates rang me. After answering he says "Hey David, looking forward to Friday?". I'm on Codene you splick!
Was done by the pack being set up so the card was delayed for an extra half a second or so, this made most people pick that card, and voilá.Quote:

was still shocking at the time :D
lol
Anyone want to find him and eat a nice big bag of chips infront of him ? :D
sounds like a plan and a half :D
ill hire a boat,
we can row down the thames. and sligshot chips at him
Anyone got a rifle, so we can go and shoot him :D. Even if its just a flesh wound, they're not allowed to go and help him til 2 days after he stops moving ;)
I've heard he'll be wearing baggy trousers which could conceil telescopic balancing rods...
to be honest i hate the bloke, his voice and face piss me off...
paul zenon is hilarious...he went into a pub got a big huge biker and convinced him he had a magic bottle of beer, and asked to to hold it over his own head Zenon ran, the biker got soaked....ace.

THATS MORE LIKE IT!
i don't rate this guy...
a lady from my church fasted for 40 days and forty night - in prayer for someone who needed it very badly! she put her life at risk (in a way) and gave up all that time to pray for that one person...
so what this fella is upto seems crazy to me - but each to his own i think he will risk mental illness more that anything - fasting and be hung up there with loads of people shouting at you after a few beers on a friday night will do anyones head in!
crazy fool!
:D
What about the whole
"Cutting off his ear"????
he cut the outer edge of it off....
David Blane is a psychotic idiot imho...
Derren Brown is much more clever and much more convincable.
Ben
if it was not a 'clever' trick then the guy is an idiot and he will for sure go mad in that cage!Quote:

the standing in a block of ive trick was a pos, if u know about science peeps would understand that it was warmer inside the ice then outside and he was in no risk of being cold
this isnt magic, wheres the rabbits and swords and boxes?
Supposedly bits of rubber and ketchup :)Quote:

For me being trapped in such a small space with nothing to do for so long is inconcievable. He must be mad to do this sort of stuff. Derren brown is amaizing. Have only seen him o tv but i was very impressed by what he could make people think. Is this stuff a trick or can he actually do it, anyone know?
Heard on the radio that Guinnes Book of Records have no interest in this stunt, seeing as someone has already fasted for 366 days! and someone else spent 60 days in a barrel an eighth the size of the box he's going in... so, nothing special here.
What would be more fun would be to go along with a paintball gun and coat the box... or perhaps a few potshots with an air rifle?
my only thoughts are that he's trying to make himself a modern Harry Houdini... only I can't see how. he's all about publicity...
kind of annoying.
p.s. creature whats that sig of?... i've seen it before but can't place it in my mind...

i'm not sure you're correct about it being warmer inside the ice than not...surely he'll be kept at a constant temperature and he will gain some insulatory effect from the lack of air movement over his body BUT the overall effect of the ice will - by convection - cool him down. the air temperature will be reduced, ok so its not as drastic as cold water but it will get you cold. have you [or anyone else for that matter] been INSIDE a glacier - which is (funnily enough) made of ice? I have. and its VERY cold in there. so your assumption that he'd be 'warmer' inside the ice might be true when compared to to brisk, cold new york air (i don't know - I've never been) but it was still COLD inside the ice regardless.
I belive they had a thermometer checking it all the time. oh and they probably had a thermistor up his arse to make sure his body temperature didn't fall too low
:)
p.s. I know these things :)

To some extent, the ice block construction Blaine entered Monday is similar to an Eskimo igloo, though of different proportions.
Brian Aglukark, the manager of regional planning for the Nunavut Planning Commission of Iqaluit, Canada, says igloos are very economical constructions, and are very efficient at keeping energy inside. The average igloo has about 16 square feet of floor space, and if constructed properly, it blocks 40 mph winds. A single candle will raise the temperature inside by about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, he says.
Average temperatures near Iqaluit at this time of year hover around 5 degrees Fahrenheit (not including the wind chill factor). In New York today it was in the low 40s.
“I’m sure [Blaine] is quite comfortable,” Aglukark said. “His body heat and breathing won’t be enough to melt the ice, but it would make it comfortable to live in.
basicly his body heat made the air warm and he was fine, he acted cold for the camera and it was all part of the actQuote:
Penn Gilette of Penn and Teller really came out against this guy, basically saying the kinds of things you mentioned - more flashy vegas-style crap than magic here. He pointed out that this guy basically would expereince the igloo effect. His own body heat would warm up the trapped air inside the block of ice and it would actually be pretty toasty in there, not cold.
edit: im trying to find the site that gave away all of blaines tricks hes a preformer and has skill but most tricks are setup and the camera for the tv only lets you see half the trick and what youu want to see
unless they pumped warm air in i can't see anyone being warm in ice...true - standing will allow convection currents to warm your body as heat rises (boundary layer) but surrounded by cold surface heat is lost rapidly... simple physics.
wrong in a way though his body never touched the cold ice he was in a iceblock little air came in or out so he was sealed in there, his body heat and breathing would of raised the temp to a good level, i can keep linking to sites that all say the same thing, mostly howto magic sites that reveal this truth because of the showman blaine has become
valid point reg - i doubt a person could survive in such a condition for the lenght of time he did. i forget was he topless or just wearing a jumper cause that would make an infinite difference into his body heat.
not touching the ice would also limit heat loss as heat is lost 30x conductively than convectively... he'd be buggered in minutes in other words if he touched the ice.
He is just another nutcase IMO.
with a good publicity teamQuote:

think he was mate dont know for sure, the basic trick was if you touched the ice u would die easy if you didnt touch the ice then basicly your standing in a plexyglass booth where your own heat keeps you warm. i dont think some of his stunts are magic they are testing his endurence and skill to keep still and focused
yup. as demonstrated by his standing on that pillar for god knows how long it was... aside from boredom, i don't think i could hold on that long until i had to pee!!
hehe he did have a cafiter fitted down his leg i think, though would of been funny see him with a wet patch :D
just don't look up!
whole new spin on the 'juice in your eye' phrase!!
for those who do like him 8.30pm tonight live on sky one
for those who dont paintball guns at the ready on london bridge :D
who is that guy in your sig creature?... i want to say austin powers but i always thought he was taller!
in my avatar you mean
thats bedtime bear from b0 selecta
SHAMONE !
ah yes - penny has dropped....
ta
ah!!!! where have all my posts gone?!!
I had about 60-70?!!! that server reshuffle dropped me some :( and I was working hard towards an avatar - how many was it i have to get again? i forget
they had server probs yesterday i think.or the day before and a some stuff was lost
Yeah. Explains why eskimos live outside big ice structures.....
Wait a minute....
Sod David Blaine... someone should come and see the kids rabbit do its tricks. Thats the fourth time I've thoroughly checked its cage and run for holes and as I type this I'm watching the damn thing run around the garden having escaped AGAIN!
/logs out to load air rifle...
