"David blaine's box egged..."

Switching on sky one to see what the blokes doing, i press red and just then someone throws an egg at the box. the plastic makes a loud meaty noise, but he doesn't turn to see what it is until about 5 seconds later (he was waving at the audience while lying down).

the thing is, it must have been a good arm throwing the egg because the box was quite high up. either that (or as my dad said) or a pretty big seagull just flew by...

I'd charge 2 bits a pop for chucking stuff at him from a passing speedboat.

It said in the paper today that one man was hitting golf balls at him. You can just imagine someone doing that...

This made me laugh - I get the image of parents taking their kids just to throw stuff at him. It's conveniently near the Tower too, so it's like an Age of Reason type punishment. His crime? Being a cun...wah? I can't say that!? Bah.

Yup; they still provide him with "water", which is surely going to contain microlytes and a high sugar content. I'm all for people throwing things at the box and I'm hoping that someone makes him eat food one hour before the end of the challenge. A live force feeding of Blaine by London's toughest street fighter would be great.

Heh
His message board is full of people angry at "stupid people throwing things, why do they hate David?"
They dont hate him, we're English and are a lot more cynical and harder to impress than Amurcans.

For some reason I read that as TCP enraged and thought of the evil stuf you gargle or put on wounds. TCP, gorillas, nappies. The pictures. Anyway just thought I would share that nugget with you.

He used to be interesting, but now it's less about the tricks than pulling off amazing feats that have already been done before.

Nope.
Hence condensation 1st thing in the morning - ideal for swift snacking and burgers when nobody can see in.
He's an illusionist, not a Swami so there will be sleight of hand stuff to ensure he doesn't suffer too much.

The Americans are unimpressed by this, as my cousin said in an email "Man, they're talking about this like it's news. It's just a slack-jawed, slow talking doofus that comes off like a retarded Ross from Friends"

I hope he goes insane and throws his nappies around like some PCP-enraged gorilla.

Does the box have heating?

if the wind picks up a bit we might get a decent show

*whistles innocently*

Don't bother going to see him, it's really really dull.
He's not even above the Thames. It's at the South end of Tower Bridge.
You go, 500 people are standing about going "Er...he's asleep".
That's it.
I liked the ice cream vans and burger stalls all around beneath him.

The English have a natural cynicism towards celebrity, unlike our Amurcan cousins. He did the New York thing, everyone cheering and hollering and clapping.
He gets in the box, and 500 Brits standing about tutting and saying "Well he's not doing anything. I bet he stinks of poo by now"
And 2 pikey kids swinging on the camera-crane in the car-park next door
"Ah'm gonna smash dis fing"
"Do it man, that geeza's wearing a fakking nappy innee?"

David Blaine, sleeping in a box and wearing a nappy and not doing much
*shrugs*
Best bit so far is a couple of 7yr olds trying to throw sanwiches at him.
