he was allowed water

how are you so sure of yourself?
what David did was not impossible, therefore it leaves room for the possibility that what he did was real.

do not make assumptions that you are not sure of my friend.

Any Doctor can tell you what Blaine has done and most importantly his complexion and his abilities AFTER his FAKE stunt is just plain FAKE. Why can't you just agree that its a FAKE TRICK like everything that we do? The water thing and liquid through the straw is already known in the magic world as FACT on blaine's fake stunt. I challange you to read what "Jay Sankey" wrote about Blaine in the "Ask Jay" board.

Also Blaine being buried alive was the same fake stunt if you recall and he got BUSTED!!! On that one.
