Did you get suckered into Blaine's con?

[Rockvillejoe]

Watching Roberto float in that tupperware container was more believable than David Blaine floating for a week in that "sphere". There is no way that guy walks after a week of being "submerged", and there is no way he looks as healthy as he did emerging from that mirrored glass ball. The guy is an illusionist. He holed himslef up at the 4 Seasons for the week, no doubt. Dont' forget this is a guy who "levitated" in malls. Yet most people bought his act. Amazing. He's a rank amatuer. Do you think Houdini would have used handcuff keys to free himself? Please. Roberto has more street cred than this mashugana meeshkite.

<p>Did anyone watch this wackadoo's special on ABC tonight?&nbsp; I'm curious as to whether or not they showed ESD &amp; Roberto as part of a gag reel of people who walked up to the fishbowl.</p>

<p>His tricks look great, but yes.&nbsp; We know it's a &quot;trick.&quot;&nbsp; We know they're not magic acts.</p><p>His act is fun to watch, that's about all we can ask for.&nbsp; The endurance shit is stupid.</p>

[PapaBear]

<p>Houdini did use keys. He also fashioned his own picks.</p><p>As for if Blaine was really there... did you see the footage over the days of people inspecting his hands above the water line? There is no way it was faked. Astronauts can walk when they get back from space, so getting out of the water is no different.</p>

<p>don't be a hater.&nbsp; He's a performer.&nbsp; Get over it.&nbsp; Read his book and he tells you how he does half of his 'tricks.'&nbsp; Oops, I bought his book, looks like I fell for it too.&nbsp; <br /><br />Do you know that houdini would push a wire into his forearm so it appeared he was going into the stunt with no way of unlocking the locks.&nbsp; People loved him, people love Blaine.&nbsp; I am one on them.</p>

i'll say this if he faked it, he did a pretty good job. his hands and feet looked fucking disgusting....and i believe he went just over 7 minutes.

He merely kept the pastic gloves on when he took the dark gloves off.&nbsp;I agree that Houdini used picks and keys to escape, but he never did it&nbsp;so the crowds could see him. Blaine unabashadly used the hand cuff keys so the whole world could see. Despite&nbsp;my criticism, the show still had a intense sense of urgency, even though we all knew somehow he&nbsp;would survive. The real question is, how can a mo-fo with a mug like his get super models? Or is that an illusion (like David Copperfield) too? &nbsp;</p>

houdini was a punk. he couldn't even take one to the bread basket.

<p>Just caught parts of it tonight &amp; it didn't look right at all.&nbsp; His hands did look nasty pruney (could've been gloves I spose) but the rest of him (no homo) seemed, I dunno... not like one would expect it would after a week underwater.&nbsp; The way they put the oxygen mask over his head... seemed pretty rough if his extremeties (e.g. nose, ears) were really in such bad shape. <br /></p><p>Does Blaine get a Guinness Book of World Records record for staying underwater the longest?&nbsp; Just curious... I was pondering the idea that he planned all along to bag on the record for holding his breath.&nbsp; Announce the plan ahead of time to give the whole thing added legitamacy.&nbsp; But not acheive it because it would invite scrutiny of the whole setup and that might reveal details of any trick he might've used during the week.&nbsp; Of course that's wrecked if he does get a record for the week underwater...</p>

I watched parts of the first hour, and actually enjoyed the trips to see the inmates in the prison, the guy who hacked off his own hand, and Evel Kneviel. Other than that, the whole thing with the endurance test in a big water globe kind of bored me, and I don't think I flipped once during the commercials during &quot;24.&quot; Don't really care one way or another if he faked it or not - the 9 minute record would have been impressive if he did it, but I figured it was something i really didn't need to see live.

I skipped it for 24, but i just can comprehend tuning in to a tv special to watch someone try and hold his breath. What will they air next, a blinking contest? i am not a fan of Blaine. I dont get how staying in a fishbowl for a week is entertaining or newsworthy. I dont think its a sideshow act at all, just a boring act. I have been to a few sideshows, the coney island one and the jim rose sideshow. Those are some acts and those are people who actually do things, not just stay underwater with scubagear.
