You're saying we should set the Wolf Brigade against Blaine's 'magician' ass? Tempting.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 19 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Its true Di has to leave the room when he is on TV. I don't like the fact that I can so clearly picture him lifting up that tight Calvin Slime T-shirt. His number one fave trick is "Look supa model I wrote your name on my abs ... go on touch me".

― ducklingmonster, Wednesday, 19 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who does like David Blaine? He's clearly dreadful.

― N., Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i like him: what's the problem? you are afraid of his powers/beard

― mark s, Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That trick he does with a whole cinema audience on a trailer is a bit freaky...

― Will, Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You don't mean that one where he flicks through the pack, do you? God Will, you really are a man not to be trusted.

― Nick, Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What have I done? I'm a nice bloke! I don't have goes at anyone! What have I done? Why me

― Will, Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You're a lovely man. You just have terrible taste.

― N., Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(Legs crossed, eyes shut, floating above a Himalaya in an orange robe.) No N., we have different tastes...:-)

― Will, Thursday, 20 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...

Talk about his new stunt. Are you impressed?

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm suitably impressed by the response of the public to the stunt.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Me too.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't really understand the interest either positive or negative. I overheard some lads saying they were going down to have a look. Just when you think people are living secluded lives with TV and Playstations whatever they start acting like a Victorian mob again.

― David (David), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:16 (twenty-one years ago)

(Sorry, but I was just wondering what a Victorian flash mob would be like and I had to share.)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I am sick of people hating him, how can they, he's on a pole above London, jesus leave the guy alone!

Also who the fuck is he really, I mean how can people HATE him.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:20 (twenty-one years ago)

He's fuckin' wit' my public space. I don't like him either. I liked him more when he was doing card tricks in Noo Yoik and New Orleans. Now he is showing every sign of thinking he is the messiah.

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:22 (twenty-one years ago)

It somehow makes me feel satisfied inside that there are still groups of youths behaving like Victorian flash mobs.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Now he is showing every sign of thinking he is the messiah.

Coming up: The Crucifixion of David Blaine! Live from Jerusalem!

So did I. His street magician shtick was entertaining. Sitting in a box and doing nothing for a month to prove that you're hard is not.

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the advert of him for this new stunt where he's walking really really fast like a loony for no apparent reason. Almost goose-stepping in fact.

― David. (Cozen), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:50 (twenty-one years ago)

i thought the hamburger truck thing was pretty funny.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 11:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Throwing stuff at David Blaine = the 21st Century equivalent of putting people in the stocks and lobbing rotten fruit at them.

Incidentally, Ed - how's the business plan getting on with regard to opening that fruit and veg stall outside City Hall?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 12:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Doesn't it kinda bother anyone that Blainey-boy is doing the same type of thing that people do when protesting horrific treatment/human rights violations/significant issues/etc and he's simply doing it to aid in maintaining his own obnoxious messiah complex?

― cybele (cybele), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 13:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't see why doing nothing in a box is anything to be proud of (cf Emile Heskey) - it's not magic or illusion, it's just endurance.

Towards the end of his 'trick' he'll be a bit confused. It might be nice to go and visit him when he's only got a couple of days to go and unfurl a banner that says "Woo hoo! Half way there! Only another 22 days to go!".

― Alfie (Alfie), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

The bloke is a bit of an idiot, but I certainly don't hate him. If he wants to do these stunts, so be it. I certainly cannot condone people trying to cut him down though. (in the literal sense.)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Blaine is either a robot, which would be cool. Or it's holograms. Or he really is starving himself, which strikes me as just a bit silly.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I quite like him though, he is a hypnotic voice, he should make relaxation tapes.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I heard today that someone has sent up a remote controlled toy helicopter to go and wave hamburgers at him. Excellent.

I like how this isn't even a magic trick yet people are still trying to figure out the "catch" as if it were a trick. It's just self-torture; there is no catch.

I rarely feel patriotic as such, but the reaction of Londoners does make me feel really quite proud to be British. He said "This is worth it for my art, even if I drop dead" before going in... it is NOT ART you cunt, it is a bloody stupid piece of attention whoring and if you die it will serve you right.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 18 September 2003 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

The good old British public have behaved with typical mindlessness apropos of Blainey’s genuine, noble and selfless attempt to put to the test the limits of human endurance, and demonstrate the power of the human will. As one bloke simply put it when the Standard asked him what he was doing there at three in the morning yelling his head off: "I want to break him." He has had golf balls whacked at him off Tower Bridge, been kept awake by tabla drumming, had a full English breakfast luzzed at him by that bloke out the Barclaycard adverts, endured unceasing insults, abuse and random objects hurled at him, hamburgers dangled tantalisingly out of reach, unhealthy temperatures, and the other night some loons tried to cut the cabling that suspends his 'plexi' cage while our boy yelled frantically "where are the police?" Even in the face of extreme provocation, the great illusionist was evidently wishing to draw our attention to a wide raging socio-political problem by rhetorically questioning the decline in police visibility at street level.

Hmm, maybe someone should tell him that Time Out claim some bloke did the same thing in Brighton back in the fifties and lasted 70 odd days on water and fags.

Anyway has anyone else seen the satirical live art performance that a group of Tennents Super-swilling lushes have put on beneath the cage? They’ve got themselves a cardboard box and sit in it all day with nothing but extra strong lager to keep them going in the hope that someone will give them a million quid (or maybe take an interest in the homeless in London rather than in a self-publicising egomaniac millionaire).

Nb. To anyone remotely interested, Blaine will supposedly be addressing his detractors and tormentors via a large plasma screen later today at about 5:15.

This is going to be like that beautiful moment when John Power of Cast told the Glasto 1997 crowd that they were "shit at throwing mud", isn't it? Then, directly on the word "mud", a huge lump of the stuff hits him right in the knackers.

Maybe they're thinking of the Sunderland shipyard worker who fasted for 72 days in Whitley Bay, back in 1923.

David Blaine genuine, noble and selfless? I think he's doing it for the cash and adulation myself.

I haven't seen anything in the media comparing his stunt to the stylites or pillar saints. Probably the most impressive of which was Simeon the younger who went up a 60ft pillar in about 530ad and didn't come down for 68 years
Blaine is a pussy.

― Simeon (Simeon), Thursday, 18 September 2003 10:42 (twenty-one years ago)

The stylites did at least eat occasionally, though.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 18 September 2003 10:47 (twenty-one years ago)

bunuel made a movie about st simeon

it's in black and white so you don't immediately twig but in the film st simeon's pillar is decorated with beautiful long undulating stalactite* curlicues of his own shit

(*i might mean stalagmite)

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 18 September 2003 10:48 (twenty-one years ago)

tites=down - I think of tights hanging.

Sure they ate occasionally, but also fasted for 40 days at a time. I guess my point is that there's nothing new about his stunt.
According to the papers this morning Ian Brady hasn't (voluntarily) eaten for 4 years!

I love how the guy explaining the Balducci trick in the link above deteriorates into bitterness near the end.

Mmm - must go get lunch...

Last night on "All Things Considered," Robert Siegel spoke with a reporter from London's Daily Telegraph, on scene with the Blaine mob... she confirmed that everyone there is, more than anything else, obsessed with bathroom logistics - "If you walk through the crowd, everyone's comments keep coming around to how he goes to the loo."

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 18 September 2003 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, but that's what I loved about his street magic thing. Those ABC specials were prime entertainment. Just to see someone walk up to people on the street and freak them out so badly that they run screaming and cover their faces and hide their children -- that's better than magic. If he is the devil, I must admit, I'm glued.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 September 2003 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

One time I saw him on tv, doing this trick that involved tearing a chicken's head off and then chasing elderly black ladies down the streets of East Harlem, trying to touch them with the chicken's headless body. This was not so much magic as it was incredibly psychotic behavior par none. The poor old women were running and screaming, screaming, screaming...and David Blaine laughed and laughed. I wish I made this up but I didn't, it haunts me to this day. Those women probably are scarred for life, I don't even remember a scene in which he explained to them what he was doing! What kind of person does that? The same kind of person who locks himself in a box suspended in the air for over a month, to be hard, I guess. I think it'd be more entertaining if the chicken was in there with him and we see how long it takes before he starts tearing it apart and eating it out of delusionary hunger psychosis.

Also, didn't he date Fiona Apple?

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 18 September 2003 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Also David Copperfield should magically teleport himself into the box, punch Blaine in the nuts, and then teleport out, didn't he do something like that once? Teleporting I mean, not nut-punching Blaine.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 18 September 2003 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember when he was locked in ice in Times Square, we came up with this elaborate plan to kidnap him and put him on my fire escape but alas, the security was too tight and we were too drunk. It was gonna be great though, kind of like my ex was Jabba the Hut and I was Princess Leia and David Blaine would get to be Carbonite Han Solo. Except no Lando or Luke to come melt him out! See how clever and hard he feels then, with his silly machismo stunting.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 18 September 2003 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

My God, David Copperfield would be the greatest magician of all time if he stopped doing shows and just nut-punched David Blaine for the rest of his life.

Ha ha, I was just reading a newsblurb that blamed the Blaine hate on anti-Americanism in Europe. I would have thought it was a case of anti-Asshatism.

jesus is that a real picture or genius photoshopping. david blaine is significantly diminutive compared to toby, toby's just sittin there with that look on his face, like hes saying "look a my big fat cock and balls david you sissy!"

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Thursday, 18 September 2003 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that what happens when no girls show up to a FAP?

Yes, except the cocks are bigger.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 September 2003 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

From what I can make out, I can see Blaine's balls but not his dick. Where'd it go?

It's an iluuuuusion.

That doesn't look photoshopped, I'm afraid to say. It has none of the telltale marks.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 September 2003 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

That picture is horrifying.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 18 September 2003 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

You know who probably knows all of them? Yancey. He knows all the crap celebrities.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 18 September 2003 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

David Blaine has since recanted his Leo buddy-dom. I think that should count for something.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 18 September 2003 22:30 (twenty-one years ago)

He was just threatened by Tobey's dick.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 18 September 2003 22:30 (twenty-one years ago)

And yeah, the reaction says way more about the people reacting to it than it does about David Blaine. That's whole point, isn't it? Otherwise he'd be in some wooded glade or something. I didn't really follow the frozen-in-ice thing, but each stunt seems to have its own mood. The "buried alive" one was gloomy and bleak, he was under six feet of water in a riverfront construction area, lit from below. You kind of filed by and maybe saw him wave up at you from under all that water, as if you were giving your condolences. Weird. The remote control helicopter was genius though, obviously.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 18 September 2003 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I cannot believe that is Tobey Maguire. I thought he was a nice clean-shaven lad.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 18 September 2003 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

No, he's apparently an emo porn star.

I'm just tired tired tired tired of everybody in London being like "I am so proud of my fellow countrymen for despising this loser."

In New York people would just ignore him, not spend days in the garage devising elaborate schemes to prove how little they care.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:26 (twenty-one years ago)

There's worse to come Tracer - this weekend a horde will descend on Blaine's enclave to luzz sausages at him in a stunt organised by a pink website. Anyone attending has been asked to bring at least five ‘edges with them, preferably chipolatas since these are more aerodynamic. The aim is to see who can get the most sausages in Blaine’s box. Cute huh.

― Alex K (Alex K), Friday, 19 September 2003 09:32 (twenty-one years ago)

it's all promotion for his soon to be published celebrity diet book. 'lose 3 stone in just 44 days'... expect to see people like geri ha11iwe11 having their own perspex* boxes made up...

and, well, if you're going to claim something as a spectacle then do something spectacular. sitting in a box doing nothing for a month and a half is the epitome of dull. i'm not surprised that people have started making their own entertainment out of it, albeit entertainment on a par with bear baiting (the major difference being that he CHOSE to do this, put himself on a pedestal, made himself a target).

as for the messiah thing, i'm surprised he chose 44 days rather than 40. maybe this is his way of going up to eleven. 8)

the climax of this trick will be blaine suddenly revealing the significance of the numbers in the box's dimensions and the event's duration: a quick equation involving 7x2, 3 and 44 and EVERY SINGLE PERSON WATCHING will simultaneously gasp "good god that's my birthday!!!"

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 20 September 2003 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

as Mayor, Blaine's first act will be to erect a 40ft statue of himself designed by Jeff Koons and made entirely from stickelbricks. it will reside in place of Nelson's Column and Trafalgar Square will subsequently be renamed The Ass-Hat Plaza. Blair's statue itself will feature an all seeing eye that revolves in a circle making sure everyone is behaving themselves and masturbating frequently (for this pleases the God-Blaine as he is now known). He will also command 23 freshly greased virgins to parade naked around the statue at noon each day whilst beating off ugly leches with sharp sticks and sacks of aniseed, bringing traffic to a standstill - a defiant two fingers to his predecessor's congestion charge scheme. Blaine himself will work in isolation in his office, house in the top half of Big Ben. he'll sit inside the enormous bell stroking his own hair, muttering about Hartlepool's chances of promotion and generally experiencing intense discomfort. when the clock strikes 12 and the bell rings he experiences 26 orgasms at once, much to the annoyance of Sting, looking down enviously from his chocolate galleon.

I succumbed to see the spectacle last weekend for a bit of amusement, and it was really kind of pathetic (for everybody involved). Amid the throng of onlookers, there were dozens of people trying to get blaine to wave at them like he was some dumb zoo animal (which might be justifiable). And he just had this perma-smile glazed over look on his face, giving a half-assed wave like some beauty pageant winner who was on a float in a parade. Kind of surreal.

two weeks pass...

"If you haven't seen that naughty photo of Leonardo DiCaprio with pals David Blaine and Tobey Maguire, you're about the only one left. For more than a month now, an explicit shot of the trio has been making the rounds through cyberspace, arriving in e-mails from here to Los Angeles. The spicy pic shows DiCaprio and the gang lounging in a Tokyo hotel room with Blaine and Maguire wearing open kimonos -- leaving their respective manhoods hanging free and easy. Of course, close inspection of the shot reveals it's been ingeniously doctored. One inspector is Blaine's publicist, Jill Fritzo, who tells us, "I enlarged it a couple of times, and it's clearly a fake. I told David, 'If I get that naked picture of you one more time, I'm going to jump out a window.' " It turns out that a perfectly innocent photo was snapped by a friend around the time Titanic was released and that Blaine gave it to a fan outside their hotel room. Years later, it has clearly ended up in the hands of a twisted prankster. For Blaine's part, his only dismay comes from seeing that Maguire's instrument is depicted as significantly more substantial than his own. "I guess whoever did it must like Tobey a lot more than me," he says.""
