Did anyone else see this BS? I loved his street "magic" segments and taking those punches from Kimbo Slice, but you can't fumble at the goal line like he did tonight. Just awkward. http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local...david_blaines_dive_of_death_gets_mixed_r.html Some good comments HERE Reminded me of this guy, actually... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QDJHPB2o-gQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QDJHPB2o-gQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> *prepares for obligatory David Blaine spoof videos
That was a bungee jump. FAIL! I think he was supposed to fall quicker, the lights go out, and him be snapped up outta there while the lights were out, and appear to disappear... Instead he did a bungee jump and a really slow Peter Pan impersonation due to equipment failure. He must wear Criss Angel pajamas.

Yeah, I was disappointed as well. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AYxu_MQSTTY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AYxu_MQSTTY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> OMG! You're DAVID BLAINE...!!! WHAT THE EFFF...? WHAT THE EFF...??!?!?!
I watched it last night, sadly. At the end I was like... that's it? What the heck was that? And he didn't even hang upside down 60 hrs in a row, just 60 hours all together. LAME. My time would have been better spent watching The Prestige, that was a good movie.
Yeap. The entire series with these guys is a riot. "Look in your drink. " "What, it's Orange Sod... OMG!!!! What the efff!?!?!?! CHEEZ-ITs!!!! It's CHEEZ-ITs!!!! WHAT THE EFF? "
I watched bits and pieces like the Kimbo Slice punch and the bullet catch. He should have done that live. I thought the point of magicians being hung upside down was that they are able to escape on their own? I don't know what happened with the "Dive of Death." It looked like something messed up and then the bit about him dissappearing at the end sounded like bull. BTW, when I first heard Dive of Death, I thought he was doing a Houdini style bridge jump.
David Blaine is my hero and still I think that ending was hilarious. Did you know that Blaine wasn't actually upside down for 60 consecutive hours. He stood upright from time to time during those past few days.
I'm not entirely sure how it looked in person, but on TV it looked like he bungee jumped (wearing a full body harness) from 44 feet, very softly touched the ground with his feet, hung a little bit above the ground for about 10 seconds, and was then lifted up into the darkness. Then with the crowd stunned and confused, John Saunders said something about Blaine disappearing into the night and how incredible that was, and then that was the end of the show...
