He's unlikely to get the record for hanging round a box doing nothing when it stands at 4 years and is held by Emile Heskey.

But still, what's the point? There's no magic involved, and in reality it's like Big Brother without the entertainment.

Are people paying to watch him do nothing for over a month by looging onto completeloonsitsinboxforamonth.com, because otherwise I can't see the commercial potential.

How much are people now talking about him?
How many people now know who David Blaine IS, when 15 days ago they'd never heard of him?


As they say, no publicity is bad publicity....

and several hunger strikers have done well over 60 days anyway

and there are no independent observers to monitor whats put in his 'water' - ie glucose etc. odd that.

Personally I think he's a ****
Shazaam!

Good joke though

To prove that he can, to test his own limits and boundaries. Why do people learn, why do people push themselves at the gym, what do people try to run faster. He is testing himself in so many ways


and probably making a bit on the side

I hate the ****.

arrogant self important little conjurer.

Indeed it seems that all conjurers are tossers if you consider:

Paul Daniels
David Blaine
David "queer" Copperfield (yea like that sow-faced supermodel was really interested in him!)
Yuri Gella

What a load of freaks.

and I supsect the ones that do kids parties are closet paedophiles

Hmm, I can think of many ways of testing your limits, but standing in a box doing sod all for 40-odd days doesn't spring to mind.

Why can't he go do something worthwhile, like climb Everest for charity or go lose himself in the rainforest for 40 days.

I hope he start's getting pelted with eggs again - now that is a worthwhile way of spending your free time

How about spreading the word around that this friday there is going to be a mass public demonstration against this stupid stunt. "Bring eggs and catapults etc"...... after a bit it might happen!!

get a load of folk out of the pubs and clubs and bring it to an end. If there is no control over the noise tec... the the local council will be forced to shut it down due to the number of complaints.

Yeah, it's publicity, but to what end? "oh, look, that magician is now going to do no magic whatsoever, just stand in a box."

At least Houdini escaped from the box!
