This article on David Blaine’s recent stunt is priceless.
Favorite Quotes:
“Mr. Blaine, the obscurity-averse practitioner of spectacle, ended a weeklong submersion in 2,000 gallons of 96-degree saltwater, providing as the finale an attempt to break through chains while holding his breath for nine minutes.”
“In dreamy montages last night, Mr. Blaine explained that these exercises are all part of his “journey,” that they “make people think.” Magic, he said, “brings people together who might not come together.” Well, so does the airport.”
Laugh out loud funny.

But they were finding inventive ways to get food to him, like sending him McD’s hamburgers by remote-control helicopter!
