Like I said, I'm a bit skeptical...

Would you happen to know the name of the hospital? His treatment and stay should be a matter of public record. If you can tell me I'll see if I can get info.

Hey Mr. Pink, You should read David's book. He speaks on this subject. Again I say he was SENT the papers. I never said he FILED Them.

Whatever. I still remain skeptical until further proof. You would think that if someone set a Guiness record that their name would automatically be entered into the records without having to "FILE" papers!!! Oh well, you believe without proof, and I don't.

David is a performer. No one can stand with their skin next to ice for very long. See how long you can do it. Where did his pee go, as Im sure he had to urinate. Where did his crap go, as I'm sure over all those days he would need to take a dump. If he really stood in a sealed block of ice, it should have been full of urine and crap.

I have to say I am with Frijid on this one, I am also skeptical. I have no dislike of the man but I would need solid proof....i.e. standing in front of him watching every moment.

I would recommend that all you skeptics go to your library and read from his book about these topics. Most likely won't answer your questions, but will give you the information to ask the questions that would shed light to what you want to know.

As for where did David's body functions go, He fasted seven days before most of the tricks and has a catheter put in.

this is true i saw a show that revelead it. and that how

Why in the edited would you fake these stunts when they are far from impossible??? 7 days without food and water? Any Ethiopian could do that. Stand in a block of ice? I'll get someone from Siberia to do that! And as far as standing in one place for a ridiculous amount of time, anyone in the military can do it! The only thing these stunts require is preperation. I stayed up fo 72 hours strait once, no coffee, no drugs, and on my feet the whole time working.

Oh yeah, and jumping 80 ft into cardboard boxes? I suppose halfway down he switched with his friend Bill or whoever.

I saw that show too, that's one of the reasons I'm so skeptical. That show may not have shown the exact ways Blaine did those stunts...but it certainly offered some very good explanations as to how the stunts could have been done. I prefer to believe those explanations rather than to be gullible enough to think he done them for real. After all, Blaine is in the business of deception and trickery.

Buried alive is an old stunt that has been done before and will be done again. Standing in one place, yes that can be done. But no way you can stand with your skin in contact with ice. It is not possible for as long as Blaine did it.

Was the amazing Randi there? No.

Was it under test condidtions? No.

Was it made for TV? Yes.

Does David make good TV specials? For the most part yes.

When he levitates for the kid on the Fearless DVD in the extras then collapses on the ground screaming in agony, begging and ordering the kid to get help, well whats that about? Do you think that was real? Do you think his pain was real?

Let me tell you it wasn't. Pretty poorly acted too, but thats just my opinion. I still found it entertaining, entertaining enough to buy his DVD.

Lol, not anyone in the military, I have seen several people fall out because they look their knees and cut off circulation. I attended a Cheif's retirement which took 4 bloody hours and we had to stand at attention 3/4 the time and parade rest the other time. Have'nt volunteered for another retirement cermony since.[/b]

Exactly. You just reminded me of the time I was stationed at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky when once we had some sort of parade for the General of the base. We were in formation either at attention or parade rest for nearly 5 hours because of some kind of delay of the General arriving in a helicopter. Highly trained Soldiers in perfect physical condition were falling out left and right. I'm just glad I wasn't among those who did.

.
Am I the only person to notice that the ice was on a base that was 8 inches thick?


?

Ever watch hogans heros?

lol, ok not everyone in the military. I think it's funny when people fall out. But still, you get the point.

as for falling onto cardboard boxes, there's nothing extraordinary about that. it's a standard practice in the stunt industry to use cardboard boxes to break a fall.
