Coming up.....David Blaine will levitate.

Remember his early stuff? Or the time he stood on that pole in London. Seems like a right headbanger altogether.

Anyone gonna watch this new stunt... Ascension?

Hangdogroad · 31-08-2020 02:26PM

Wasnt he accused of some Weinsteinish carry on?

Gregor Samsa · 31-08-2020 04:46PM

So he's planning on flying up in the air, attached to a load of helium balloons?

That's nothing a 3-year old Taiwanese toddler can't do:

I think I'll watch porn instead.

I don't care who you are, this is friggin' hilarious:

You can find part two and three yourself.

You're welcome. :-)

He wasn't too bad at the start. I remember his ice block thing in times Square. Which scarily enough Google now tells me is 20 years old in November. Where is the time going!
It was later revealed on those "magic secrets exposed" programmes how he did it. Which was him changing places with a lookalike under the block of ice in the platform.

Stuff like that was good. Then he started to get really into things. Like this isn't magic. This is a feat of human endurance type weirdo stuff.

IAMAMORON · 31-08-2020 04:54PM

He was on Joe Rogan last week.

Frank interview, worth a look.

interesting dude.

He raped and molested 1000's of women apparently.

But he was invisible at the time.

Googled the priest, 1/2 his torso was found in the sea and Identified by dna, guess the sharks had a quick bite

All hyped here in the Doge household.

IAMAMORON · 02-09-2020 02:04PM

It looks prerecorded?

Unless he can make the Statue of Liberty disappear like David Copperfield the guy is just a phoney:P

The guy is some dude all the same. He was complaining about spots on his kidneys last week, he can feel them with his bare hands, yikes :eek: Who can actually do that?

A bullshltter.

Usually you are hitting the bullseye there Kevo.

But this guy lived in a tank of water for a week and read Margot Robbie's mind. I think he is gifted somewhat. How did he get the 3 of diamonds into the unpeeled Orange in Harrison Fords fruit bowl?

Every prestige is essentially bullshight, but where is he stuffing all those dead canaries?

How come the balloons will not react to altitude? If my science is off please let me know, but surely the thinner air would affect the density of the air within the balloons? Anyone ?

They're helium balloons, right?

As a balloon ascends, the pressure of the surrounding air drops while the helium inside expands. Toy balloons burst at around 10km, while professional meteorological balloons reach heights of 30km..

Of course, even if that wasn't the case, he could just magic them not to pop.

Yester · 02-09-2020 03:54PM

He is about to go.

jester77 · 02-09-2020 04:00PM

So what's the twist here going to be? It can hardly just be up and down considering it's Blaine

Yester · 02-09-2020 04:01PM

I think he is going to meet a talking dog.

He'll decisively prove the earth is flat.

Edit: Are we supposed to believe that he's actually supporting himself by holding onto the strings with his bare hand?

jester77 · 02-09-2020 04:10PM

He's in a harness. Is he going to accidentally let the parachute fall?

02-09-2020 04:13PM

Goes up on balloons and sky dives down.... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Pretty uninteresting stunt. Wouldn't have it on if I wasn't WFH

Ah yeah, he's removed his hand and is just hanging by the harness now. Similar to partyjungle, just watching because I was dialed into a meeting that ended up not happening.

Kingp35 · 02-09-2020 04:20PM

Painfully boring so far. Get on with the twist!

splashthecash · 02-09-2020 04:31PM

All manner of things could go wrong in fairness although the team he has seems to be on the ball here. I'm enjoying it - there is a lot of planning\safety procedures that need to be considered and although it isn't action packed you gotta appreciate the effort that goes into something like this

Yester · 02-09-2020 04:33PM

Felix Baumgartner is not impressed.

Rockbeast2 · 02-09-2020 04:34PM

Still waiting for him to drop parachute or ascend rapidly into the stratosphere. Or fall unconscious towards the ground.

Yester · 02-09-2020 04:52PM

Well, that went well.

Kingp35 · 02-09-2020 04:53PM

Fair play to him, I suppose.

Gregor Samsa · 02-09-2020 04:55PM

A scorpion could still get him.

Coming up.....David Blaine will levitate.
