So, who is familiar with Daves attempt over the Thames? He is living in a glass box, with no food, and no form of entertainment, open to the public to see....

Is it getting any coverage in the US?

Most importantly - do you think its 100% genuine?

I think not

I like his slight of hand tricks or "street magic" but I'm not that impressed with this or his other stunts.

I've seen minimal coverage of it here.

Yosser

so what does he do when he needs to take a poo poo?

BrigieDarling

It was revealed after he did the cube of ice thing in the US that it was staged and quite fake!

Then again.... all his tricks were exposed so I'd be sceptical.

Read about it somewhere, but may have been in a UK paper I get sent over. Never heard of him before - sounds a bit of a tw@t. Apparently he's taking a supply of adult nappies with him. I know how unpleasant my 7 month olds can be - hate to think what a grown mans would be like - or what he does with them afterwards......But, I guess there won't be much 'output' after the first few days if he's not eatng anything?

Guiness book of records apparently not recognising it as a record as they don't deem it worthy!

He's not eating, so he isn't going to need to!

I saw him last summer, when he spent 32 hours standing on a pole in Bryant Park, in view of my office. I thought that he was a jerk then. Nothing has changed in the past year!

Here's Matt's view:

Now thats one 'thing' I do miss from the UK - my daily fix of Matt - he's fantastic. Did you know he was banned from the newspaper cartoonists version of the Oscars a few years back cos he'd won it too many times!!

I was going to reply then I realised I really don't give a toss about the whole thing!

I drove passed the jobless guy on sunday and did not even bother to stop my car to observe this stunt of his, near Westminister bridge and I thought, out of sight is out of mind but my over half in TX decided to educate me about him and the constant reminder that he is in london blah blah blah. So the answer to your question is that some people in the states are following this stunt of his.

He has a tube attached to the box, also theres a flap that can open to drop *ahem* solids..........

Im not that bothered by it, just noticed it on tv, and thought also id push myself nearer to 100 posts!

i also do like his street magic though

veryfunny

Ha ha, anything for a star to your name. lol

I was chatting to my mate who works in London, and was asking him about the David Blaine "stunt". He said that he could see him out of his window, so i persuaded him to run down there and take a picture with his phone, so here it is....

Yosser

I hope he doesn't eat a curry, he will need more than a 'flap' to relieve himself

Yorkieabroad

Whaddayathink the tubes for?

Yosser

good point...lol

Actually all he would need is a needle, after a chicken vindaloo...cause after I scoff down one of those, all I can do is shit through a eye of a needle
