Maybe next, he'll climb into a barrel and go over the falls under the Brooklyn Bridge...nah, too risky.

You want to know the real magic? He got that many people to come out and watch and probably got a few million $$ to disappear from the advertiser's and network's pockets. Now that's a trick I want to learn!

I love new yorkers...

"He didn't disappear... he's up there!!!"

they will always say what they think... and they were right on as usual.

HowBoutDemCowboys: i didn't see that trick (i must have skipped over it?), but what about when he moved the letter on the dollar bill? or when made a deck of cards disapear except for one suit & the autographed card?

even the matchbook trick (with the dvr, you can see him replace the matchbook) is still amazing because he changes the back of the autographed card into a matchbook in less than a second.

Hey, give Blaine a break. He needed to save his energy up to bang more hot models this weekend. And not everything can be as exciting as standing on top of a pole or floating in water for a few days.

Seriously Zodak? His magic rocks? Even the 'trick' where he uses his own marker to draw X's on a guys hand, then uses his fingers which he obviously dipped into some kind of agent, rubbed the X's off, only to put them back on the guy's hand with a quarter that obviously has inked X's on the bottom that transfer to same guy's hand? Seriously?

Bleh!

He needs to disappear in the same way Steve Buscemi did at the end of 'Fargo'.

Human Pinata would have been better.

Yet another asshole blaming Bush for his failures.

It's deceptive advertising. He said he was going to do a "Dive of Death." Since he's not dead, I'm suing.

#16- totally. That naked tasered dude's death plummet was hella more entertaining. Yeah I'm a bastard but that shit was. It had comedy, drama and a great climax.

I thought they were gonna tase him and then see if he could survive a fall onto his head

Who knew Blaine grew up in Park Slope? You could see Smiling Pizza in the background of the subway stop, and that library he went to is on 6th Avenue. Not exactly "hardcore."

I thought they were going to make him get out of a straight jacket upside down and then drop him through the wood floor below to see if he would survive. That probably would've made it worth the wait.

He's alienated a lot of fans and many probably won't return for his next stunt...unless he decides to try jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge as he previously stated.

yay we do not have to hear about this anymore!

everyone focuses on his stunts, which is stupid, so let me explain:

the stunts are just an excuse for tv stations to air his actual magic tricks.

i dvr'd the thing & only watched his street magic, (which rocks) & skipped over the stunt stuff. him & john mayer & the football players was good stuff.

Bush should have addressed the public while suspended upside down, then subsequently tossed from the Piazza.

At the end it seemed the big shocker (at least to the overzealous announcers) was that he sort of went up into the air. Did anyone there see where he went? Up onto a big crane? did it just swing him around and drop him a little bit away? The whole thing was totally lame, but that was the only part of it that nobody seems to be talking about.

Wow, that goes beyond lame... the "Dive of Death" my ass....

I loved how someone yelled "Are you serious? Are you serious?".

Wait, people are surprised that David Blaine is lame?
