  • Finally!! Now they can get that damn eyesore out of the Lincoln Center Plaza.
    ...and they can get rid of the sphere too.

  • I'm not happy he didn't do it, but at the same time...finally a magician who failed. I'm sure there have been failures in the past, but not on tv and not like this.

  • why is this man a magician?
    a few days of floating in an bulb filled with water is not really magic... it's stupid and boring.

  • I just don't get the point of doing the things he does. It seems like extremely risky behavior and zero entertainment value. Maybe like having sex with Paris Hilton?

  • If he were really a magician, he could make all his medical problems, not to mention his medical bills, disappear.

  • At least this guy doesn't use smoke and mirrors like that other jacka$$ David Copperfield!

  • The guy is a total freak.

    Next time he should eat glass and hold his breath at the same time... that would prove to be some good entertainment!

  • David Blaine is an ass. Between his over-hyped 'tricks' and seemingly over-medicated personality, I'd sooner watch Siegfried and Roy dodge tigers for an hour.

    David Copperfield IS a jackass as well, but, he has pulled off one unbelieveable trick: he impregnated Claudia Schiffer. I'm sure that makes him like a rockstar amongst the magic fans. Way to cop-a-feel, Copperfield!

  • I guess you would call David Copperfield an "illusionist." You can't really call anyone a "magician" anymore, unless you're 5, when it's still fascinating.

    I'll take David Copperfield's illusionist behavior anyday, over what can only be called DELUSIONAL behavior by Blaine. He's not a magician, not an illusionist... he's no better than the people eating live bees on Ripley's Believe It Or Not. He's an attention whore... who else (other than maybe Paris Hilton) would put themselves on DISPLAY in a freaking FISH BOWL for a week straight? His "look at me! NO... MEEE!" complex is disturbing, to say the least.

    We should treat him like the brat who plays the "I'm going to repeat every word you say game" -- STOP PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO HIM.

  • I give Blaine love. He's like our Houndi of our time.

    I love how muthafuckers are like,"He didn't do it?". Fuck. Let see you fat fucks get off your ass and do something? What does it take to impress you fuckers? Somebody was underwater for a week and then held is breathe for seven minutes! Who can do that?

    So, he had a special about it and made some money. Why you got to hate on him?

    What are you ALL you doing?? You sitting on your asses waiting for the "big one!!" You think your going do better than David Blaine?

    Most of you live at home with your parents and masturbate thinking how your going to get a celeb girlfriend and think your a star cause of you read about it on this site. Or you think your somebody cause you have a myspace page. Get real.

    Do you think your going to be rich and everyone will know you? NO. Keep dreaming, Fucktards.

    You got to work hard and make a name for yourself. Think about it: HE MAKES Money DOING STUNTS AND MAGIC. Who making serious money doing this? NOBODY!
    And...he fucking super hot models.

    Fuck-you internet nerd.

    What artist does draw crowds to see them preform? Houndi did back it they day. All kinds of music acts draw crowds and bring the media in. Fuck-you blog fucks. You ain't shit.

    Bow down and show some respect.

    I'm the enlightened one that making more money than you too bye the way. So, fuck you.

    In closing,

    Eat a dick haters and fuck you.

    PS.. I AM a runner so don't start your hating on me shit either.

  • I myself thought " that's nothing and it's not magic" but I saw the special my mind changed. I kind of agree with ANON 12:37 minus the bad words. yes he "failed" but he tried and almost made it!! I love his magic tricks wish he had more specials on that. I have respect for him because he trained for it (navy seal training by the way!)and he has balls to at least try! Plus he got a hot body!!

    By carla, on 12:53 PM  

  • Haha, someone is actually acting like he survived some disaster or is a hero. It's not like he was at sea and had to survive underwater for seven days. It was a stunt in a controlled environment. He wasn't in any real danger. But go ahead and keep acting like he fucking saved someone's life while you ignore real heroes.

    What the hell does that have to do with anything? Who's ignoring real heroes here?
    My best friend's husband is in Iraq right now.
    My uncle is a firefighter.
    My father is a doctor.
    And I'm a teacher.

    Don't tell me that I'm ignoring real heros just because I'm not slamming David Blaine.

    Next time don't call people an Internet nerd for commenting on a blog that you yourself have not only viewed, but wrote an epic novel too. Maybe your the one masterbating to the celebs is you to David Blaine, [Moderator Edit]

  • 12:37,1:01 - Then why are wasting your precious time here if you're so much better than us? And you're not simply 'not slamming' him, your post put in him on fucking pedestal. Hardly as deserving as the heroes you should be praising. And if you're a teacher, it's obviously not English because you can't write to save your life.

    By Anonymous, on 1:17 PM  

  • I think David Blaine's REAL magic trick is that he gets money for doing all of this. MONEY! I always wonder how that pitch goes: "All right. I'm going to live underwater for weeks, and then, at the end I'm going to hold my breath. Now, don't you think you should pay me a couple of million for that? Dontcha?"

  • I think his "endurance" stunts are not really magic, or all that entertaining for that matter.

    But Has anyone ever watched his show Street Magic? Assuming there are no camera tricks, Blaine does some really crazy, f*cked-up amazing scary magic shit. Like real deal-with-the-devil sorta stuff. Completely unbelieveable.

    By Kitty X, on 3:37 PM  

  • What's up with the highly defensive, vocabulary challenged dude??!! Did you skip your meds today? Chill..... I think Blaine's "street magic" is pretty cool... but please tell me noone here actually BELIEVES he did what you THINK you saw??? People it was an illusion. And he earns a good living for it. If he and his managers can sale it to a network and get a good price, well, that's the American way. Just remember everyone..... IT IS AN ILLUSION.

    By campma3, on 3:51 PM  

  • It seems pretty obvious that all you people who bag on David Blaine are jealous. He has more willpower, strength, and determination that you guys will ever have. Unless you have been in his shoes and done exactly what he has done, that is, to stay underwater for a weak and hold your breath for more than 7 minutes, then you have no right to talk whatsoever.

    Second of all, he doesn't do his work to impress people or to make the world a beautiful place or anything superficial, he does it to bring people together. gosh you people are so ignorant and you guys are jerks because for once in your lives, there is someone who does things besides eating and sleeping and working. And you're jealous and angry because you know you will never be able to do that too. Shame.

    By yeai'molivia, on 3:52 PM  

  • This is how Blaine make so much money. Because people actually believe what they're seeing. Blaine specializes in tricking the human eye into seeing something they aren't, and he's extremely good at it, and he has lots of expensive props that make him better than most "magicians" out there right now.

    By Anonymous, on 3:55 PM  

  • The laws of Physics do not cease to exist where David Blaine is concerned, you gullible people. It's a show. It's not real, so sit back, eat your popcorn, enjoy the show and try not to look like fools when you defend this guy.

  • What made me laugh as I was flipping back to it during commercials of the show I was watching was how serious Stuart Scott, the anouncer, was being. The most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. DB is a douche with no personality.

    And for whoever said her was close....are you kidding me?!?! Almost 2 minutes short. Yea so if someone goes out and runs a 6 and a half minute mile, they were "close." He failed miserably and looked like an moron doing it.

    By Anonymous, on 4:56 PM  

  • For me, the truly astounding trick Blaine has pulled off is managing to convince some people (too many) that he's some kind of an incredible human being and hero that we should all look up to.

    I mean, seriously, are you guys for real?

    And who is 'Houndi'? Sounds like a brand of dog biscuit.

    By funny but sad, on 5:04 PM  

  • "Gotta love those live specials where it's a bunch of build up and commercials until the last two minutes when almost nothing happens leaving you to feel like an idiot for sitting through it."

    EXACTLY why I didn't watch it. I get pretty offended when a network takes for granted that I must be an imbecile. As soon as I heard "two hour special", I said aloud "how the fuck are you going to stretch 10 minutes into 2 hours?" Shit like this should be waking people up to what TV is all about, but sadly they just keep tuning in like lemmings. TV is not programming, TV is commercials. The programs only exist to keep your fat lazy ass in front of their mind control device as long as possible, so they can hypnotize you into buying more crap you don't need, and racking up more credit card debt to achieve a lifestyle you assume everyone must have because the people on TV have it. The quality of programming will only be as good as necessary to make you sit down. The bulk of the R&D goes into advertisement hocus pocus.

    I have a crackpot e-friend who I corresond with via email, who is a complusive tinkerer, and he claims to have developed a little black box that will mute your TV during commercials and display an "intermission" screen, IN REAL TIME, then come "back to life" when they're done. If this is true, and if he were to successfully market it, I can honestly imagine him thrown in prison on some trumped up charges related to tampering with the FCC or something.

  • Man, can't we insult a nobody without being called "jealous." I cannot imagine WHAT this man has accomplished that I would be jealous of. I have no interest in being on television, plenty of money, a good family, a loving marriage. I'm not harboring pent up aggression toward this guy. He's just an attention whore, and nothing more than that. Someone who will do anything to be noticed.

    Do you know who HAS the record for holding their breath that long? No, no one has ever mentioned him, not in any of this. And do you know why? Because he did it without being on freaking TV at the time. This isn't about "bring people together" or pushing himself to the limit. It's about money and exposure.

    Anyone who feels the need to DEFEND the celebrities is just sad. The defenders seem to act as though as long as they defend and suck up to the "royalty" they will somehow become one of them.

    Hmm. Nope, don't get it.

    OHHH Houdini!!
    Of course.

    I agree with these words used so far; douche, tool, sad desperate loser.

    I think he's just worried that K-Fed gets all the douche accolades without having to actually do anything, (that's gotta be annoying)
    so ol' Blaine has to constantly amp it up.
    Ahh Blaine... always the bridesmaid.

  • The world record for holding your breath after breathing oxygen is 14 minutes 12 seconds by the German Tom Sietas - twice the time Blaine managed.

    http://apneamania.com/code/worldrec_main.asp?typeID=spr&specID=amap

    He still did well - but was never in danger of challenging the world record. Perhaps more impressive is being stuck under water for 7 days and not taking a shit.

    By Anonymous, on 3:07 AM  

  • Get over it. Blaine is a stuntman who does some magic. If you're not impressed that he stayed underwater for 8 days then you all can go back to watching the OC. The guy who broke the record for holding his breath didn't try to get out of chains either!

    Blaine has already said he is not giving up and he's going to go for the breath record. This time without staying underwater for 8 days before hand. You haters are a bunch of spoiled sissies. Rock on David!!

  • Did he even really stay in that bubble all week? I mean, wasn't there some dude with a mask on in that bubble. If that had been DB, and he'd been in that bubble for a week wearing a tight rubber mask, wouldn't that have marked up his face? He had no marks that I could see. And would he really be able to stand just minutes after being removed from the ball? Can you float for 7 days, and then expect your legs to work minutes later?

    Seems fishy to me.

  • The phrase "turd in a punchbowl" comes to mind.

    And who are the people 'bigging up' this idiot? "Haters"? Pfff... please. I guess it's still easy to impress 8th graders. I once pulled a quarter out from behind my ear in front of them and they thought I was God for, like, weeks.
