Oh oh oh it’s maaaagic! Or, you know, endurance and stuff.
Last night the roomie, her coworker and I headed to Central Park to hang with (yup, you’d better believe I’ll be using that pun as many times as possible) David Blaine (because I had to tell him that he sucked for another bloggy friend of mine).
We pushed through some people, made our way to the area underneath D. Blaine and waited for our turn to take a picture with the magic man.
After over a day of bat-like behavior Blaine was taking some breaks, presumably to stop his eyes from exploding:
Small and scrappy as we are, we pushed our way to the velvet rope and got our picture taken with the (admittedly a little bit dishy) Blaine!
Wanting to make it look good for the cameras, Blaine stretches out:
And then they raise him up…
…and he gets on this crane. Um. This is interesting. What’s going on here? Are you, the man who froze himself, calling it quits?
Nope. Potty break. Apparently even magicians on liquid diets have to take a poo now and then. And, since I know some people draw the line at poop pictures**, I thought I’d try and fill the void. Okay, in all fairness, I was too icked out to take the pooping picture myself…but I’ll still post it for all of you who need your feces fix. (Oh, gross right? Too much? Yeah…too much.)
And there you have it. My magical afternoon.

There are so very few things I hate more than David Blaine.

So he even has poop breaks?
There is seriously nothing impressive about this stupid stunt.
Paula // September 24, 2008 at 1:31 pm |
Man, he is just SUCH a loser! Can’t he actually DO something for a living? How boring IS he. Damn.

He took a shadoobie right there in front of everyone?
Wow.
I would have liked to have seen that even though I watch a man take a shadoobie every day of my life.
Marriage is a magical thing…
PS: I love you too!

Narm: That seems to be the popular vote.
Ben: Not really, no. But he did look cute in the shades.
Paula: If he were juggling while he was up there, then we could talk.
Kristen: Ahh, suddenly I can’t wait to tie the knot.

I mean, hanging upsidedown for a hot minute really isn’t much a feat, if you ask me, but … glad you enjoyed yourself!

DMB: well obvi, poop is totally hilarious.
MinD: Actually, they grabbed a “huge fan” (who was the most apathetic chick I’d ever seen) and asked if they could strap her into a mini harness for 60 seconds so she could “get a sense of what he was going through.”

You should have *accidentally* kicked his face.
Jamie // September 24, 2008 at 4:03 pm |
I also read every hour he gets checked out by an EMT so really he’s only hanging for 50 minutes at a time. What a cheater!
stealthnerd // September 24, 2008 at 4:04 pm |
Matt: Dude, if I (a force a 5′) could get my leg that high, they would cancel his special in a heartbeat and those ABC cameras would be all over me.
Jamie: True story.

I hate him.
That is all.
Ask Alice // September 24, 2008 at 4:22 pm |
Wow this trick just gets lamer and lamer!
stealthnerd // September 24, 2008 at 4:44 pm |
Apollo: I know. I told him that. After the picture, he shed an awkward upside down tear. I think that’s actually why he asked to be brought up.
Ask Alice: Well…a bit, yes.
Megkathleen // September 24, 2008 at 9:22 pm |
Wait. So he’s not hanging the whole time? How is this MAGIC?! I hate him.
katelin // September 25, 2008 at 12:08 am |
