We're worried that David Blaine has an eating disorder - he's planned his next stunt to take place over Thanksgiving! The illusionist, last seen submerged for days with gross skin issues at Lincoln Center, will be suspended over Times Square for three days. From E!:
The challenge, sponsored by Target to kick off the holiday shopping season, will get underway at 10 a.m. Tuesday, when Blaine is slated to be hoisted by crane to his destination, 40 feet above West 46th Street near Eighth Avenue.We assume this means he's recovered from the watery sphere experiment. And we hope that there will be some sort of protective layer between Blaine and the passers-by underneath, because we imagine a bit o' vomit.There, he will be strapped in to a giant three-ringed gyroscope—said to be inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's famous Proportion of Man drawing and akin to the crazy carnival contraptions that make people sick on sight—and spin continuously, without protection from the elements...
His task: to make it safely out of the gyroscope by 6 a.m. on Nov. 24, aka Black Friday.
But we can't rag on him too much - if he gets out okay, he'll escort 100 children and their families for shopping sprees at Target. The children and families are being chosen by the Salvation Army, which helped clothe Blaine. Blaine's statement read, "This is my chance to give back to the Salvation Army and to [help] benefit other families. It's my goal not only to successfully complete this challenge, but to help give others an extraordinary holiday season."

He will get out ok.
All these stunts as are fake as three card Monte game.
I think David Blaine just hates his apartment.
So if he's overestimated his tolerance again, does that mean those kids don't get their shopping sprees? :p
I wonder if these stunts really pull in a lot money for him?
These "Endurance" Stunts are getting old...
He's not being too accurate in re-creating the Proportion of Man, as the model in that drawing was wearing his birthday suit.
"wearing his birthday suit."
To cold for such level of accuracy???
;)
What a douche bag. Hear that Blaine? You, sir, are an overflowing douche bag.
Go back to street magic.
if he gets in and out alive from Atlantic Center Target with 100 kids on Black Friday, that will be the real stunt...
I think someone here needs a nice comforable couch, Something hard in a shootglass,(Including the bottle)& Someone with a forgiving ear to aid Mr. Blane in what will diffinitly be a trying time . Dude has some serious issues within himself . It's nice that he's tying his personal problems with the kids this time . They get something good out of this .
Oops, Forgot the "T" in comfortable there . Dammit! I blame David Blane for that !
This guy's crazy. Absolutely 100% crazy. Why does he do all these stupid stunts... he's famous enough already, and hasn't he suffered enough brain damage, vertigo, and concussions?
i think it is awesome that david does all that stuff..... it just proves how strong he is... physicly AND mentally. stop with the crazy comments...please
I've just been hanging out not getting anything done. What can I say? I've basically been doing nothing worth mentioning, but pfft. Not that it matters. Pretty much nothing exciting happening to speak of. I haven't been up to much these days.
