DAVID BLAIN- COOL OR FOOL?

He's a nutcase but a very daring one.

I have seen a few of his stunts, they are ok nothing wow.

He is creative in the art of accumulating wealth.

He is not an illusionist, as there is not illusion involved. Neither is it magic or feigning magic.

If someone told me I could go under water for a week, and earn enough to never work again, it would certainly be worth considering.

What do you think about David Blain who's spent nearly a week in a human aquarium?

David Blaine has almost completed his latest stunt - to spend a week underwater - which he'll round off with an attempt to hold his breath for nine minutes.

The illusionist is being kept alive with a mask and an air line, while food is being provided through a tube.

he has done many other stunts , so he is a great illusionist, magiican or just a nut case?

muppet.

Admin.. i saw that...

dont think by deleting your post i didnt see it.

i meant blain ofcourse. 😃

What's your issue with the guy? His tricks are pretty cool, he is a great showman, I don't care for his stunts, but I can't see why there is any strength of feeling against him.

I like the guy.

He is creative in gaining wealth.

If I was half as creative, I would be rich.

I think people mistake him for something he is not.

But then again he almost died in his record attempt. He failed after he was pulled out of the water unconscious. Now that is going pretty far.

I dont necessarily dislike the guy... that would suggest i actually care.

No, but his stunts are .... i dunno he seems to be trying too hard to get peoples attention. It just seems like a publicity stunt, trying to get world attention.

I find such things increadibly boring.

The guy takes himself far too seriously.

He did a hunger endurance stunt in London last year. He was suspended in some kind of box high above the river Thames for a month without food.

Londoners mocked him, some throwing rotten fruit and eggs at him, some banged drums all night to keep him awake, while one newspaper flew a toy aeroplane ,with a fast food meal attached, around his box to taunt him.

London humor is very harsh.

All this interest in David Blaine from Revival members is quite odd. I don't think the problem lies with Blaine.

...what's wrong with discussing him? That's the whole point of his acts right? I mean the guy deliberately chooses locations where we can not avoid seeing him, televises his "escapes" and hypes himself up as much as possible.

Nothing wrong with discussing him, just it's way off-topic for this website.

islam is a huge topic

i'm sure islam says sumin about "stupid men who try to pull of dangerous life threatening stunts just to make money have have their name in some stupid world records book"

he failed miserably in his last stunt

dunno how he'll live with the humilation

[quote="MuslimSisLilSis"]cunno how he'll live with the humilation[/quote]

For three days in a card board meat box 3 fathoms underwater with sharks with fricken laser beams attached to their fricken heads circling around.

:roll: i know how to spell thank you. answer the question.

It means there's nothing wrong with discussing David Blaine, but that its way off-topic for this website. My question was at least as genuine.

[quote="100man"]its way off-topic for this website.[/quote]why?

OK, OK. I was implying, and now I'm saying, that I thought it a bit off to have a thread on The Revival inviting members to gossip about a relatively unimportant Jewish guy. I started a thread on a well missed Muslim icon and it garnered a question as to why I would start a thread on the subject.

I doubt many people here know or even understand what she sang about let alone 100man.

yep David blaine is a crzy nut case

yearning for attention and the media eyes on him 24/7

he is also a con artist , many of his tricks and illusions are fake , i saw a programme uncovering many of his tricks including the one wear he hovers in the sky - thats an illusion with the camera , the angle of the camera covers the fact the he as one of his feet touching the ground

also the trick where he gets a dead fly puts it into his hand and it mysteriously comes alive - who does he think he is god or something, lol - the science behind that trick is when you freeze a fly or many bugs they automatically go into a coma state wear they appear dead , but blaine puts it into his hand wear the heat from his hand warms the fly up and it wakes up

also i heard while he was in the box in london , he had a special water drink and tablets in the glass box which military use wear you can survive without food for long periods

So David Blaine - nut case, lunatic, attention seeker, fraud - yep but he is entertaining so i havent got anything agaisnt him D

You really thought he could fly?

Not fascination for my part, just a promo. I didn''t pick a subject for gossip.
