He has been under for about half of his goal and his hands look like they are going to split any second. I wonder if he has ever heard of trenchfoot... He may make it through but its going to be damn painfull by the end... and I know fore sure he wont be breaking the 7:00 mark underwater much less get to 9:00, hell, I'll be surprised if he gets to 5:00.

I kinda like the poster, he is totally just a glorified sideshow act and the poster sort of admits it.

Hahaha... found this:

Blaine will be hoping for a better public reaction than he received for his last major 'performance' - a 44-day fast during which he was suspended above London's River Thames in a glass box.

Detractors came up with increasingly inventive ways to taunt or unsettle Blaine such as using a remote control model helicopter to dangle a cheeseburger in front of the starving magician.

Others drove golf balls off Tower Bridge, threw eggs, used a home-made catapult to shoot paint bombs at the box, banged drums to keep him awake at night or merely shouted abuse.

Honestly, he really does push himself to the limit - or at least he gives the illusion that he does.

I remember when he stood on top of this 40ft high pedestal in NYC somehwere - Washington Square Park maybe? (guess he needed some weed too), and that was pretty impressive. He was up there for like 4 days or something w/o sleep.

...but the whole thing about f@cking with him by dangling a cheeseburger in front of him w/ a remote control helicopter - THAT is f@cking HILARIOUS!

I love the Brits.

God save the Queen.
