I think he'll do it....it IS possible to survive for that long if you have water, but, when he is done in there he will be extremely low on energy, lose like 40 pounds, and will probably have to go on IV's.
I think he's stupid....yet, entertaining <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yea, he'll have a food concentrate in the water, no doubt about it. Though I think the worst parrt would be stuck in a f'ing box that long. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> The guy is crazy, that's all I can say about him.
He was much better when he was on the street. His tricks were great <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
"David Blaine and Levitation - Revealed! David Blaine performed the now famous "Balducci Levitation" and astounded all that watched. Little did they know that the self-levitation that amazed everyone, was actually years old and was just lost to many. What David Blaine and levitation did to the magic community, was put them in an uproar. When all he really did was something else - he actually showed his spectators a different type of self-levitation. We now can understand how David Blaine and his Levitation was done.
The Balducci levitation is really quite a simple technique where the magician raises his arms up by his sides and slowly appears to rise a few inches off the ground, before returning to earth quickly. The method involves positioning your audience about 8 to 10 feet away at a 45-degree angle. The magician needs to keep the audience small so they are within his field of sight. This is a very restrictive angle trick and it is essential that the angles are practiced, preferably in front of a mirror. The Balducci levitation involves pretending to float off the ground by going onto your tip toes on just one foot (the one furthest from the audiences view) while the nearest foot is raised a little off the ground. This looks fantastic as the foot on your tip toe is hidden by your trousers. This trick is all in the presentation and we all know that David Blaine knows how to present his tricks to an audience!"
Well to take a wizz he does it in a chute in the box, for a dump hes wearing nappies i think <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> But he won't eat anything so he shouldn't really need to take a dump. Plus who would watch it on TV ? It's gotta be kinda boring. Presenter : "Well it's been a weeek since David is up there, let's take a look of the highlights of this week." *He pauses for 3 seconds.* " Now here is a comercial break."
he wouldnt cheat with the water thing. if your gunna stand in a box for 44 days with only water you might aswell do it properly, he'd only get found out anyways. i might go down there and look at him, in his box. I could start a fan club (cult) for him, we could pray and send him positive energies to feed off.

Odd, still.

do you think he'll be too far out for paintballs?
Besides me.
However it keeps us all guessing and asking questions, and the street magic brings a little wonder into people's lives.
Sure, if you want to put it in black and white, he's a trickster, like all magicians.
However, in the big colour picture, I think its a valuable thing for us all to be using that big pile of pulsing goo in our craniums.
Stickman even if he managed all 44 days and nights without glucose or food he wouldnt have got into the book anyway. I think the longest recorded without food was 66 days, and in legend even 70.
