How sick is David Blaine really?

Am I the only human that sees the deeper truth in what David is doing? How sad 99% of you people and most humans are truly blind.
What he's doing is far deeper than magic and illusions. Its REAL. Is there no one other than myself who knows this?

Now that doesn't even make sense! Magicians/stunt artists don't try to cure AIDS or any other disease. However, I bet David would do some awesome tricks for AIDS patients. It's called entertainment dude!

Actually, many women where I work think he's an oxygen sink. Many New Yorkers think all he did was hog city resources. Women higher up in this board think he's a waste of time. I still think he's just an attention hound, not unlike Paris Hilton.


Let him cure AIDS, that'll impress me.

Notice how it's usually only men that make the negative comments about Blaine?... jealous?... could you do it? I think it's fascinating and I can't wait for his next project!!!!

All these stunts that Blaine performs just scream to me that he needs attention. Maybe he just needed a few more hugs as a child. However, the guy is a genius, for one reason and one reason only. The IQ of this nation is dropping exponentially. Every time he acts like an idiot for lying in a coffin, or floating in a bubble, or standing on a platform, there are bigger idiots that will wait on him hand and foot and watch him lie there, float there or stand there.

You're a magician. Pull a rabbit out of a hat, for goodness' sake.

Well, he beat 1 of the 2 records by being the first live human to be in the water for that extended period of time. I'm in hopes he'll do the other part again when he has endured something else like that first. He still did very well though.. 7 mins underwater on no food or sleep.. WOW!

If nothing else, David Blaine is a science experiment, and we should be thanking him for his contribution. Not only is he entertaining, but one willing to test the capabilities of the human body. That's worth something. So, to those who are knocking him, shame on you.

What surprises me is that he sought to beat the "world" record for holding his breath AFTER he'd spent 170 some odd hours in a tank of water and his reserves were severely depleted. And he appears to have been surprised when he wasn't successful. I admire the guy a lot but this aspect of the exhibition was misconceived.

I agree with you, Kris! David Blaine is a magician, illusionist and daredevil. It is who he is, it is his profession. I thought it was great when he spoke with Evel Knievel because they could relate with being a daredevil and that made them happy no matter what. Yes, it is dangerous, but think about all the other dangerous stunts actors do in movies, etc.. do you make fun of them? nope, you go see the movies. I too enjoy learning how strong we can be psychologically. I've always been interested in the mind-over-matter theory. David takes precautions to keep himself alive. If he wasn't, he would not have had the doctors and divers there last night. I applaude and appreciate him not only for the entertainment, but for his example and spirit.

This guy is just a dude in a box. Once it was a box hanging from a crane, and once it was a cold box, now it is a wet box. So what. It is not interesting. Street magic is cool I guess, but just hanging out in a box for a long is dumb.
