David Blaine is Batman

Daredevil David Blaine is preparing for a dizzying new stunt - he will hang upside down above New York's Central Park for three days and two nights.

The illusionist will be deprived of food as he is suspended six storeys up on a highwire for his Dive of Death, which will be filmed to air on U.S. TV on 24 September.

He will even be forced to sleep upside down.

And members of the public will be invited to interract with the 35 year old.

He says, "There are always some crazy things. I get flashed quite often. Luckily, mostly from girls."

Blaine's previous stunts include spending 44 days in a glass box above London and more than two days encased in an ice block.

He recently made history by holding his breath for more than 17 minutes - and is this year preparing to attempt to break the world record for sleep deprivation.

why are all these stupid fuckers that just put themselves into life threatening situations considered magicians and illusionists?

It's kinda impressive if you can stay encased in ice for 2 days.

Being odd-eyed qualified for burning to death in medieval times.

But it's not magic or an illusion.

Actually it was an illusion I remember seeing a documentary or something on how he did it and he would go downstairs into some room with hot coffee and food and shit in it and some other dude that looked like him would come out. >w< I'm not sure if it was the same thing but I'm pretty sure

How the hell is that magic? He always does dumb crap like this!

[Kombucha]

Cheez-its.

Not David Blaine. Also, who really cares about this guy, if South Park made fun of them, they aren't important to society.

WHAT THE EFF.

I'm pretty sure it was "The Masked Magician - Secrets Revealed" or something like that back in 1997. It was one of my favorite shows.

it's more like Stunts rather than "Magic"

[SecretAgentClock]

I'd recently watched the episodes on Youtube before they got removed. I think they said the space where the magician stood in the ice was no colder than 20 or 22°C, and the magician would switch places with a similar looking person. It was very interesting to watch, i miss that show.
