Not only did David Blaine fail his world record attempt, he almost died trying to do it. Reports are coming out that Blaine was having convulsions and was unconscious when he was finally pulled out of the water.
“I wasn’t focused on records; I was thinking of a rescue,” said the trainer, Kirk Krack, a free-diving expert. A day after the televised stunt, Blaine, defying doctors’ recommendations, checked himself out of Roosevelt Hospital. Friends took him out in a wheelchair then helped him walk to a waiting car. At home, he took a hot shower, played cards and was able to eat. But “he was crying,” last night said Dr. Murat Gunel, the head of Blaine’s medical team. “He still feels today that he let people down.”
If they had just left him in there for another two minutes he would’ve had the record. He was already unconscious so he wouldn’t even have noticed. Plus he’d be grateful because then he wouldn’t be such a devastating failure at life. There’s only one way to earn people’s respect and that’s to hold your breath for a really really long time. Sure, Abraham Lincoln put an end to slavery, but he couldn’t hold his breath worth shit. And that makes him a loser.

I’m sorry, who are you? And who was speaking to you?
P.S.
XOXOXO, now go catch your short bus.
What ever happened to real magic… pulling a rabbit out of a hat… dissappear the coin… blah, blah blah…
and also…
Okay, why is everyone on the site so insulting? It’s getting annoying that you’re not commenting on celbs!
#36 – Everyone knows that he who smelled it, dealt it.
Jacq: It is my understanding that when someone farts generally everyone smells it.
54: everyone? what if they’re in a different state or country?
I’m sorry Fisher55, I ken that on this site one must be verra, verra specific. I dinna mean to make such a crucial mistake. I’m part scottish.
I meant everyone present when the fart is presented.
david blaine…you didn’t let us down, because we weren’t paying attention.
i think the stunt was just too insane to be pulled off…no one else could have done better, so just walk it off.
How do they know how long he really held his breath if he was unconscious at the end? What if he was unconscious way before Phil MacKracken saved his ass?
David Blaine is an attention whore. He’d cut his cock off and shove it down his throat if he could ensure 14 people would watch.
I saw him in London when he was hanging from that crane in the big plastic box. So stupid. I was embarrassed to be a fellow American at that moment. Sigh…
I am disappointed in you, David Blaine, because you didn’t die like I had hoped.
i used to think, based on his street magic, that he was totally in bed with the devil, like BLACK MAGIC shiznit,
but, this makes him appear fully human. that’s kind of reassuring, in a way, that he’s is in fact mortal. i hate him slightly less now.
he’s scary.
This isnt the 70s and what impresses people has evolved. The “Thats Incredible” bullshit stunts being cool has long passed. Dude needs to just kill himself or maybe Copperfield can make him disappear.
40: “Seeing as how I’m married and I was a virgin when I met my husband, I don’t think the word “slut” applies to me. Yeah, now go ahead and call me a prude, it won’t offend me.”
Yeah, but you got married last year and you met him in 3rd grade! ;)
I keed, I keed. That’s actually quite impressive in this day and age.
From the Guardian (UK) -
“When David Blaine ensconced himself in a glass box near London’s Tower Bridge in 2003, rather than whoop and cheer we threw eggs and attempted to cut his water supply.”
Brits are cool.
It would’ve been pretty cool to see David Blaine’s bloated corpse in a life-sized aquarium. Now that’s performance art!
He is not a douche, you are a douche.
ANd, he went from a metabolically-challenged sub-tubby to the hot hot
hotness you saw in that tank.
And, “flash informativo”, you continue to
be a douche
Yeah, he looks really hot in that picture. He’s definitely got the “lifeless corpse” pose nailed.
#63. He’s leading you into a false sense of security.
#54 – Exactly – everyone but me did it.
That reminds me – the girl next to me at work farts all of the time. He he he.

Davids Blaine is good looking.On the contrary David Copperfield is not that attractive.
