He's quit...hee-hee...

oddguy 09-11-2003 07:43 PM

Who's quit? David Blaine?! Elaborate.

Dammit, i wanted him to die...

Oh well he still failed and ruined his reputation... That's good enough for me!

What made him quit? If it was all the women baring their chests to him, then what a sissy. I mean, this guy has survived living in a block of ice and he can't take eggs being thrown at him?! Not that the eggs would hit him.....they'd hit his glass case for cryin' out loud!


-oddguy:fuzcool: Read banner. Obey banner. I'm tired.

Forbidden Paradise 09-12-2003 01:32 PM

Maybe he's finally cracked under the immense pressure he's brought upon himself over the past few years...

oddguy 09-12-2003 02:05 PM

Yeah, maybe, but this stunt is lame compared to the ones he's done in the past. What made this one harder that the other ones? Hmmmmm.

-oddguy:fuzcool: Blah.

Nath 09-12-2003 04:21 PM

I have no idea what Jacob is on about, David Blaine hasn't quit, I was just watching him two minutes ago. He's in the twentieth hour of his sixth day.

oddguy 09-12-2003 05:14 PM

I knew I shouldn't have taken what Jacob said as truth.
*kicks himself in the head then falls on the floor*


-oddguy:fuzcool: Ouch.

Jacob 09-12-2003 05:23 PM

I'm sure i heard on the news he's pulled out...

Nath 09-12-2003 06:16 PM

Well he hasn't.

Wil 09-12-2003 07:15 PM

Two teens and some guy were arrested for shining laser pens at his box, causing Mr Blaine to fear he was being snipered.

MrBoj 09-12-2003 07:25 PM

As far as I'm concerned, Blaine doesn't deserve this kind of attention.

Nath 09-12-2003 07:37 PM

He doesn't do this stuff for attention, he does it coz he wants to take magic to another kind of level, that future magicians can improve on even further. And he's just showing that you can put your body past it's limit if you put your mind to it

MrBoj 09-12-2003 07:48 PM

well, I'll just take the advice of my Buddhist monks if I want to transend my body, thank you very much. :D

For some reason I don't see this as magic. I see it more as a test of endurance.

Forbidden Paradise 09-13-2003 03:08 AM

Another Guinness Book of Records endurance thing hey... Damn he hasn't quit :fuzmad:

GrigtheSlig 09-13-2003 03:21 AM

I think if someone were trying to snipe David Blane, they would have. I think it's stupid that he's all suspicios of everything.

oddguy 09-13-2003 03:39 AM

I was wondering. Can David communicate with others while in his box, or is not talking to anyone part of his little test?


-oddguy:fuzcool:

Wil 09-13-2003 08:23 AM

I heard he talked to his girlfriend nearer the start of his ordeal. Not that this is much of an ordeal compared to what he's done in the past. I'm dissing his latest stunt, but I appreciate what he's done in the past, just for the record.

I also said that he does it to show you that you can push your body past it's limitation if you put your mind to it.

Someone does go up on another crane every so often to talk to him and check up on him, but i'm not entirely sure.

oddguy 09-13-2003 06:13 PM

I know, I just said that this doesn't seem magical. David Blaine is the only magician of his kind. I actually wouldn't call him a magician. He's more of an extreme stuntman type, but that doesn't fit him either. He should have his own category.

-oddguy:fuzcool:

Facsimile 09-14-2003 08:23 AM

**** David Blaine. I'm watching this David Copperfield or something, and it is the most incredible magic I have ever seen.
Except for the dramatic American music.

Forbidden Paradise 09-14-2003 10:26 AM

Yeah I like David Copperfield too. He's probably the only magician I actually watch on tv. Oh and the masked magician.

I liked the masked magician better coz he actually reveals the secrets :)

Nath 09-14-2003 02:31 PM

David Copperfield's old. I remember watching him on t.v years and years ago. I haven't heard of him in years.

Facsimile 09-15-2003 08:18 AM

I had heard the name once or twice, but that was it. I think he rocks now.
A cage in the middle of the audience and they disappeared. They disappeared!
