David Blaine - hero or divvy?

[birdieman]

David Blaine's in the news...again!
This time he is hanging upside down for 60 hours in public. He risks all sorts of health complications.
Why does he do these things? - his magic shows, card trick and slight of hand tricks are fantastic and very watchable therefore entertaining but these endurance stunts are not remotely interesting or entertaining, are they?

 

[USER1999]

He is a complete plonker. I don't even know why they give him press coverage.
I agree, his magic tricks are among the best, so I am not sure where all this other stuff fits in, unless he has lost confidence in his magic.

You can not be completely sane if you are attempting things like this, he may be entertaining in other areas but I just see these stunts as over complicated attention seeking.

upside down for 60 hours? all he'll get is a swollen head to go with his swollen ego!

 

[TonyN]

Love he street stuff, he's great, but his stunts are pointless.

Derren Brown, now that guy is amazing! I watch everything he deoes if i can!

 

[DCB]

Come on now ! That's an afront to normal divvys

 

[Herbie]

With any luck he will get chill blaines.

 

[big_russ]

WHY??

 

[forefortheday]

Notice he's doing it in America,

Last time he did that suspended in a ball thing in London he got pelted with stuff including a few golf balls!

Blokes must have an ego the size of a planet if he thinks the world is actually interested in his stunts

 

[vig]

definately divvy!!

With a bit of luck his tether will snap and we won't have to watch any of this crap again

 

[RGuk]

The word to describe him is not PC enough to have even made it into the 21st century. I'm thinking a school expression or two from the 1970s.

Divvy....understatement.

 

[OldWindy]

Divvy deffo (that's not Welsh btw).

 

[toonarmy]

twaaaaaa....

 

[SS2]

Divvy for the silly big stunts, hero for fantastic street magic skills and his undoubted ability to make stacks of $$$$$

 

[Tommo21]

I'm a big fan. His next one is being planned right now. He will sit underwater for about 3 days until we're absolutely sure heees deeed. He will then be put in a boax, put under ground for about 60 years then some poor person will have the job of making sure he's still in there....deed.
