      I'm curious. Why do you hate a guy that's just trying to make a living? His industry is entertainment where it's his job to do whatever it takes to draw attention to himself. Nobody's forcing people to look. Cheers, Tom Archer Inside C#,

        Blaine's chances get slimmer[^] - there's no fighting science!

        I don't get it. It's one thing to escape from a device or do illusions, but locking yourself in a box or sitting on a pole or whatever has always baffled me as to the point.

            It ways though that the Irish strikers took in salt and water, where Blaine has said he will only be taking water. The salt is the catch 22 :).

            Looks like you're right: The hunger striker refuses everything except water and salt. At least three litres of water a day is consumed; salt is taken separately.

                Nah, i think the whole point of this "illusion" is that he is somehow getting his food still brought to him, and he is probably still eating. maybe thru the water, maybe thru an invisible monkey...i don't know. But, to me, that's the illusion here. Bottom line is he is getting food and i don't know how. D Daniel Larsen, Professional Casanova Blood, Sweat, Toil and Tears

                  I liked the South Park ep with David Blaine. "And now, Mr. Blaine will attempt to eat his own head."

                    He's a self-aggrandizing bastard. He draws attention to himself and proclaims that he's great for performing stunts that other people have done better. He used to associate with Leonardo DiCaprio. His industry isn't entertainment, it's celebrity. Nobody is entertained by him, only bemused. He's one of those folks who are celebrities because they're celebrities. And I'm not the only one. Seems like everyone in London hates him too.
