David Blaine speaks on failed stunt

A couple of hours ago, I posted about everyone's disappointment on the ending to the David Blaine stunt last night as far as his "Dive of Death" went. It turns out David was disappointed, too, and it didn't go as planned. He was on Regis and Kelly this morning talking about it. The video is below, but long story short: He was supposed to jump down and get "whisked away" by a bunch of helium balloons, but the ABC execs kept telling him not to jump because of the winds. Not wanting to disappoint everyone, he jumped anyway, then when he almost hit the ground, he floated up and then was taken down once he got to the park. He said he wants to think of the craziest, biggest stunt for his next one, and he better. He's got a lot of making up to do. Here's the video:

David Blaine's latest trick a sham?

David Blaine said he was going to hang upside down for 60 hours. Everyone thought it was crazy, and rumor had it he was going against death, even. With all the blood rushing to his brain, it'd put a lot of pressure on the veins around his head and could cause either blindness or a stroke. But apparently, it's not what we all thought it would be.

If you tell someone you're going to hang upside down for 60 hours, they assume 60 hours nonstop. Apparently, that's not what David did at all. David took breaks ON HIS FEET at multiple times during the 60 hours, including a long 20-minute break before a live 2-hour show on ABC last night to cap off the stunt.

And speaking of the big stunt at the end, it wasn't really much of anything. He was attached to a harness and jumped down, then was lifted back up in the air and "disappeared into the darkness." Check it out below.

David Blaine hanging upside down in NYC while you read this

Magician David Blaine is just about 24 hours into his latest mind-blowing (or mind-numbing) feat. His plan is to hang upside down for three days and two nights (he's going for 60 hours) in New York City.

I'm a huge fan of magic, but I really don't see what's magical about this. He's just hanging upside down. Granted, he could go blind from all the blood rushing to his head and putting more pressure on the veins around his eyes and stuff, but there's nothing magical about it. It's not liking bungee jumping out a building while trying to escape a straitjacket or something.

I think his 15 minutes of fame might be up.

David Blaine to stay awake for 2 WEEKS!

David Blaine has come up with a new public act of self mutilation... err... magic trick to amaze the public.

He will attempt to break the world record for staying awake the longest. The current record is 11 days and 2 hours, held by Tony Wright from the UK.

Blaine will attempt 13 days in what should be the boringest stunt of all time.

He has postponed the stunt until September "because the training has been so tough." I bet his breath smells like perma-ass from all the coffee he's been guzzling.
