David Blaine

[chazza]

do you think he is really in a box, or is it one of his illusions - any websites suggesting one way or the other?

Him indoors and me were in London last week, (for other reasons), but thought we would take a look and see what all the fuss was about. While we were standing virtually under the box, a few lads walked by, all holding balloons from McDonalds and shouting out 'oy, dave, d'ya want a burger!' David Blaine started waving at them and thought it was funny, by the way he was laughing! Eventually, the security blokes made them pop the balloons - spoil sports!

Blaine is a brilliant magician, but is a pain when performing these silly stunts, in answer to you question yes he is in the box but I don't think he will be on the day they open it up, he will probably turn up in another place.

Yeah, I agree, the burger gag obviously wasn't original, but funny when you see his reaction. There were loads of people trying to sell those laser things in any form, including those cute (not) things that kids put on their heads! i would like to have been there when they did the phonebooth thang!

the phone booth gag? please expand...

[coggles]

The lovely Colin Farrell was in a (quite gripping) film called 'phonebooth'. Basically, without giving too much away, he answers a call in a public phone box and ends up talking to a nutter who 'talks' him into staying in the box (he doesn't have much choice really). While in there, he notices a red dot on him from a laser-guided gun etc, etc.......!

I think he might actually be doing this for real. I didn't believe it at first, but if he was faking it there would be so many giveaways wouldn't there. If he's not skinny by the end of it, it was an illusion. Of course, I have to ask - surely if he can survive 44 days without food, he can manage it without a 'lip chapstick' which he has with him. Incidentally, his other 'magical illusions' like the ice and levitation ones were all false.
