I don't know how really good a "magician" David Blaine is, but you certainly have to give him his props when it comes to creating outlandish publicity stunts.
The 35-year old Blaine apparently gets off on putting himself in risky circumstances strictly for the worldwide attention it garners. As of this writing, he is hanging upside down in New York City's Central Park, where he plans to remain for 60 straight hours in the Wollman skating rink, where curious onlookers are welcome to gawk and hurl verbal abuse, if they are so inclined.
Although he will be wearing a safety harness, he still puts himself at risk of getting a stroke or becoming blind, as he awaits the conclusion of his stunt on a Wednesday night t.v. special. He then plans to fall from where he is hanging. The drop just happens to be 44 feet.
While Blaine is bound to get the attention he desires from this, you have to wonder if he doesn't have some kind of a death wish.
Is it really worth risking your life just to get a little publicity?
And is anybody else wondering...
How the heck is he going to go to the bathroom??
