<description>&lt;p&gt;Melissa is about as moronic as Blain himself. Melissa, please go back to school and take English over again. You obviously slept during class. 
Blain is CEO of Idiots, INC. . He is about the most moronic, redundant blob of protoplasm that was ever conceived. His magic is fake, his illusions are fake and HE is fake. If I were God, I&apos;d reach down with my mighty hand and flick him off the planet like a flea.
ANYONE who thinks this dumbass is impressive can probably be facinated by watching flies f*%&amp;.

<description>&lt;p&gt;All of you people bashing David Blaine and his talents are purely jealous, because you aren&apos;t capable!  People fear what they do not understand and this board is a perfect example of that!

You allow yourselves to get brainwashed into beliving that Jesus Christ is our saviour and &quot;Lord&quot; because he has worked &quot;miracles!&quot; and we should just believe all of that.  Here we have David Blaine an up close and personal miracle worker, that I&apos;m sure you Christians or whatever brainwashed religion you are people feel threatened by! Get over yourselves!

David is also a very positive person, nothing evil about him, and we can all learn a lot from him.

GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE! Ugh *where&apos;s the vomit emoticon* :/&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;This is my video of &quot;Drowned Alive&quot; over several days...http://darkartsmedia.com/Blaine.html
But don&apos;t watch Blaine in his bubble...watch the faces on the audience. There was magic going on.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;To the human that only sees deep truth. David Blain is a magician. Chris angel performed a similar trick, also Penn &amp; Teller have performed tricks under water. I don&apos;t know how the tricks are done but they are all illusions. David Blain is whithout a doubt an awsome magician. That being said, don&apos;t be fooled by what you saw&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;For any people that know David Blaine, please pass on this message.

Dear David, I am a big fan and believe that you can help me.  Please David would you help me win the national lottery on a saturday and/or the thunderball. I really need to break the chains of poverty and change my life.  I would like to win the national lottery in the UK or the thunder ball. uk.  I think it would be a wonderful one off stunt that would help me out.  Well done so far I think you are a brilliant entertainer. xx&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Am I the only human that sees the deeper truth in what David is doing? How sad 99% of you people and most humans are truly blind.
What he&apos;s doing is far deeper than magic and illusions. Its REAL. Is there no one other than myself who knows this? For those of you knocking him, it just shows how either incredibly ignorant or frightened of him you are. David is beyond this dimension and he&apos;s mocking how weak your little brains are.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Let us not forget the fact that David Blain is a magician. What you saw was an illusion. I have no idea how the trick was done, but I have seen women sawed in half, and sexy hot women turned into tigers. Don&apos;t be fooled by what you saw.  &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Gabby, same thing with me! I was just introduced to him a while ago when I seen his show on TLC. Which was good timing because it was then when he came out with his stunt. But I believe in him and I don&apos;t doubt him at all and all the people who say negative things about him are just jealous they can&apos;t do it like he do. But I don&apos;t. I believe in him, that&apos;s my husband rite there...jk jk. But still, he&apos;s really cool and I give him much respect.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I know I&apos;m making this comment a little late since, you know, David Blaine was on T.V. about, maybe a week ago, but after reading all of your comments, I just had to share a little of my opinion. I dont idolize David Blaine. As a matter of fact, was just introduced to who he was about maybe a month or two ago, and before that, I never knew who he was until I was channel flipping and happened to see one of his shows on. But anyway, I dont believe he is anything like Jesus nor God. I respect him and he is a man that sees the world in different perspective than most folks,and being the entertainer that he is, is just out there expressing himself and his passion to those out there who will watch. Those who dont like him, hate him, or simply ridicule him for the things he has done, my advice to you is; don t dislike a person because of their extra-ordinary acheivements. Appreciate. There is always thing you yourself can acheive because you are talented in your own way. David Blaine is just simply awsome, and some day, I am going to meet him.(- all written by a sixteen-year old girl-)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;He is not God or Jesus.  There should be no comparison.  I enjoy watching him, he is entertianing.  No one should have such an extreme position on David Blaine.  You either enjoy his work or you don&apos;t.  If you don&apos;t enjoy his work, why are you on this site?  Silly, I believe.  Oh well, people have to be angry at something or someone.  It&apos;s just sad that we as a society allow ourselves to be affected by a Celebrity is such a negative way.  He hurts no one and makes many happy, what&apos;s wrong with that?  I enjoy all his Magic Tricks and his tests of endurance.  He is an entertainer and he does his job well.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I never said anything negative about the guy. My point is how people take him and what he does. 7 days in water...amazing! But that doesn&apos;t make him anything more than an entertainer. Why did he do it? And why did he do it at the Lincoln Centre of all places? So the world could see. 

I didn&apos;t call him &quot;God&quot; I called him a god. Which is the way that people elevate people above themselves. We do it all the time. But at the end of the day he is a human being like everyone else. There are a lot of positive things to experience in this world. If I cannot be so inspired  by a feat like remaining in water for 7 days, no one can blame me for that. It is a matter of opinion. Respect that. Just keep perspective that he is just a man.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;ohh and im sure he could have held his breathe for 9 minutes but of course he added the extra feat of escaping from chains wich obviously eats up oxygen and on top of that he had to hold the chains to keep him standing up wich again caused him to use up more oxygen.  But im sure if he would have just held his breath without the other stunts in between he would have made it.  Trust me hes the type that would rather die then fail at his stunts.  so their ya go, and yes i have experience in this so i know a lil about it&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Wow some of you really have jelousy issues. First this isnt a magic illusion, its an endurance challenge, their is nothing different about this then evil knievel stunts or a marathon.  David Blaine just lives by a different philosophy then most.  He likes to test the limits of human capacity thats all.  Second debating wether magic is real or not is stupid, its like going to see a movie and bitching because its not real.  Just enjoy it and appreciate it.  David Blaine says it himself, i am not a magician, i am an entertainer.  Simple, let it go.  But i know some of you feel better about your myserable lives by poking fun of other so go ahead and enjoy.  But before doing that ask yourself,  When was the last time you did something worth mentioning and debating in a website and produced by a major television network nd paid millions of dollars...hmmm let me take a wild guess.  0, zip, zilch, nada, zero&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I was hoping that for the finale, someone would shake the sphere and then all of a sudden, we&apos;d see big, white pieces of snow and david swimming amongst it. (Should&apos;ve done this at xmas time) and wore a santa suit.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Happy to see that this site has some serious support for Blaine. The truth is...it is extremely disturbing to think that for one second the drones of grass grazers think that what David is doing is predictable, fake, insignifigant or somewhat pathetic! I suppose we should all wake up each day, and pretend that the stunt men which get paid to do one stunt a thousand times in the same motion should take the place of someone who is living art, not to mention a person who challenges boundaries and spits in the face of critics. Whether it is strictly entertainment, magic, illusion, or a test of endurance. He is a remarkable extreme example of a person who has passion and conviction. Narrow, small, lightless minds...
Open your little vaults...try hard as it may be to understand concepts...and most of all STOP HATING! &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I never post comments but David Blaine is far too incredible a &quot;super-human&quot; for me to not type in his defense.  Yes ~ I dare to say superhuman because he has defied the odds and done things that the average, simple mind hasn&apos;t even dared to imagine.  Not only has he conceived these notions intellectually, he has channeled his spirit in a way such that he was physically able to perform the tasks.  Please explain to me (if he is such a fake) how all of those people in NYC were able to walk by each day, communicate to him and get a response relevant to what they had originally conveyed?  How do you explain the scientific proof of the medical impacts caused by his acts if it is not true?  It&apos;s simple mathematics people.  You say you are believers of God - Jesus to be more exact - but wasn&apos;t it Jesus who said &quot;Whatsoever ye shall pray believing, ye shall receive&quot; ?  Could David Blaine have prayed for success, believed in the God that lives within each of us and been granted such? So... in my humble opinion, David Blaine is one of the VERY FEW who have actually taken their faith to another level and allowed it to be used for a higher good - to make believers out of us.  Is David Blaine a modern day Jesus?  I would say he is a close second.  My 13-year-old son respects and admires him, as do I, and in this day and age we need a spiritual leader.  Did you not hear the first words he spoke when he emerged from the water - &quot;I am humbled&quot;.  Truly, witnessing a man of flesh and blood in 2006, in NYC cry tears of humility is exactly what this world needed...  - &quot;They call me Versatile&quot; - get in touch with me..... freeversecafe@yahoo.com or www.myspace.com/queenversatile&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Travis, please remember that while David Blaine is an illusionist - these are not magic tricks he&apos;s performing.  There is no illusion here.  The week in water, the standing on a pillar over NY, these are all endurance tests and have nothing to do with &quot;magic&quot;.

Please understand there are no illusions here - he is in the water and he did hold his breath for 7 minutes and 5 seconds.  No trickery.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Travis Dudfield

 I never called him god I just referd to the whole illuisson thing.  No one no&apos;s for sure that there is a god but most will tell you the belive in him why becasue it gives us a purpose. A reason,  Its gives use hope.  And teaches us to love and beleave in something that we cant ssee.  
  Now with david I enjoy what he can do becasue he makes it fun and crazy and scary but all of the things he can and will contiune to do.  Are his destiny Just as Jesus was to die for our Sins.

   So Do I Idolize him NO but I can enjoy what he dose because I am open enough to see past what is in front of me to perhaps enoy the I can not see.
  He makes Magic Fun and Brings a warmth to it that has been gone since hodini.  Whom Was Good what he did. For the most part.

 So stop Seeing the obvious and start seeing whats not there and maybe you will enjoy life a little better&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Oh and one more thing as far as david&apos;s magic. Remeber magic is a illusion but weather if the person veiwing the the magic is amazed or not is the trick. Besides Most people beleave in god but we have never seen him nor spoke to him and isnt that kinda the same?
I think that in order to enjoy magic you have to be open to all the possibilitys One of the being that is not real. But i choose to embrace it instead of hate it. Why because i beleave in god and yet i have never seen him nor talked to him face to face. But I still beleave. Becasue I want. So to the haters I say get over it&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Wow, it is amazing to read how many people are looking to idolize/demonize this guy. Whatever he does, however he does it, he is first of all an entertainer. He is an illusionist and the entertainment factor is that he does these tricks to fool our perceptions of things. That is all that magic is: you look where he wants you to look so you miss what is really going on. He is not a god (and comparing him to Jesus? that is just laughable) he is just a talented man. Why make him out to be more than he is?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Ok Ya know what I have to say this to all the haters of Daivd Blaine.  First off I would like any of you do just 2 of the things that he has done over the years.  I Bet you cant which is why your a hater of him.  He has a great knowladge of his body and what he can handle and enjoys pushin him self just to see what he can do next.  Which is more then I can can say for most of you.  I bet the half you haters have never even tried to push your self past your limits just to see what you can do.  I also bet that you haters are threated by a man who is able to do things that may seem silly and crazy just to see what happens.
  As for the human fish tank I feel that you could see in face last night as they pulled in out that he was angry and hurt but not at anyone but him= self he was angry that he fail thats a true man..  
so to all you haters I leave you with this.  Before you judge someeles for things can or can not do perhaps you should take a look at your self and ask could i have stayed in tank for a week with barly human contact. under water and and then hold my breath for 7 mintues?
  I know I couldnt do that.  
Beside at least tried and isnt that what teach our kids that you should always try your hardest and dont give up?

 So again I ask who are you to judge???

<description>&lt;p&gt;I agree...Blaine&apos;s a magician. I also saw Teller do his underwater breath-holding trick and was amazed. Blaine&apos;s no different. There&apos;s no way that he could hold his breath that long after being underwater for a week. At peak physical condition, it would be hard enough. After spending a week under water?!..gimme a break. I&apos;d love to know how he does the trick, though.

<description>&lt;p&gt;david blaine is a magician a crappy one at that this is magic meaning its not real. MAgic doesnt exist. You can&apos;t sit in water for a week then hold your breathe for 7 minutes. the reason he didnt hold his breath to beat the record is becuase if he beat the record they would investigate it and find out it was fake. teller from penn and teller used to hold his breathe every day for 11 and a hlaf minutes in there show and he admits there was a trick behind it and they cheated but you would never know becasue peopel always hope its real. sorry folks its not real. david blaine cant really anything he jsut reads books on how to do his tricks. anyone who belives this shit is a moron&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;He didnt go through the whole 9 minutes yes but what he did was still unbelievable. No one has ever stayed in water for that long. And did anybody else noticed that he was walking that in itself proves this man great endurance... &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt; Most of you posting comments are ignorant or  just plain  stupid. Holding you breath for seven minutes alone is impressive, but doing it after being underwater for a week is unbelieveable! David Blaine much like Houdini has the capacity to do things that transcend magic. I bet if it were possible to put yourself in his shoes it wouldn&apos;t take long to realize how much stronger his mind is than yours. Futher more if what he does is so easy why is he the only one doing it? Especially considering all the attention it brings. Only Simple-tons see feats that challenge human limits as boring so if the shoe fits wear it!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;All that david blaine is doing is showing how good doctors are nowadays...he almost drowns himself, passes out then goes to hospital.  shuts himself in ice gets cold then goes to hospital.  lives in a box gets a really sore tummy then goes to hospital.  and by the look on his face all the time he is just as bored as i am.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Screw this guy.  Screw this guy and every body that looks like him.  Screw him, and his gigantic ball.  Screw him on the ball, screw him in the ball, and screw him twice on Sunday.  What sucks more than this morbidly predictible fascination with this guy is the fact that simply by posting this I have succumed to the very phenomenon that I loathe.  Screw hypocracy, but most of all screw david lame, and screw you too.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I think its interesting that when jesus walked on water he was said to be the son of god, but when david blane does feats beyond the perceptions of possibilties he is called a fake. to all you haters out there, instead of being jealous of blane&apos;s amazing gifts you should be inspired by the human potential.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s strange, the man is a decent magician, but this look-how-long-I-can-stay-in-this-[container] stuff is really, really boring!  

I&apos;m so sick of that stuff that I would no longer go to any of his stage shows, and I probably would have before. 

(I was blown away by his performance on Graham Norton a long time ago, he did an card trick that even worked if you were watching the broadcast at home)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s not magic, nor is it a feat of endurance.  It&apos;s an ILLUSION.

<description>&lt;p&gt;See, the thing is that this isn&apos;t magic, this is a feat of endurance that lasts too long in public view to be faked.

So give the guy a little credit. I mean, look at what we&apos;re doing with our days. Posting comments to a website. 

God, who&apos;s pathetic now?

<description>&lt;p&gt;Contrary to many people, this is for real. I know for a fact because I helped build it and watched him test it behind the scenes.

I hope he doesn&apos;t get ridiculed as much as he did in England. He&apos;s a really nice guy and great to work with.

There is a possibility for him to get ailments, but I think there is such thing as &quot;mind over matter&quot; and he has a lot of that.

The only way we&apos;ll know for sure is to wait.

And, a funny story, when we were putting together the whole set, the ball turned into a huge magnifying glass -- burning the paint off the steel walkway and we even put a peice of cardboard  in the light and that burst into flames quickly.
just thought I share that with you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I think Blaine has developed great endurance in his acts by overcome physical challenges. It is actually pretty inspiring. I can&apos;t wait to go see him at Lincoln Center, and I wish him the best. 

And he is definitely very sexy! His body is totally ripped.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah, can anyone say what the effects to his body will be from being in the water for that long? I mean ... waterlogged much?

Is the tank going to be closed at the top, or will it remain temptingly open?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I hope his Aquarium gets egged.

In the event he does shit his pants, and the water inside turns brown to the point we cannot see him, and he still pulls it off...

Then I&apos;d be impressed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
