I’ve gone three weeks without food, in public. Nobody gave me millions of dollars afterwards. WTF

I know a guy who practiced his golf swing on him during that stunt, managed a couple of hits on the box before the cops chased him away.

I really felt it was when “The Thong Song” hit number one in the bill board charts.

I lived in London at that time and went down to see it. Everybody, including Dave, just looked bored shitless

I was in NYC when he did the fish tank stunt. I "touch" him through the glass...we had a moment.

If he did that in London he'd be with the other turds in the Thames

How did he take a shit...or where?

Nah David Cameron at Eton if I remember correctly. Deff one of ours anyway

Nope David Cameron apparently put his dick in a dead pigs mouth while at university, story came out in like 2015

That's ok, because Blaine went and made the guy's dick babysized lated.

Or when he was frozen in ice and Howard Stern sent Hank the dwarf down to flip him off while wearing a pink bunny suit. Hank did it.

Actually gets quite warm in a block of ice. No place for the heat to escape to.

It'd be funny if Hank did it, he's a midget! "No I'm not I'm a dwarf." -- Damn, guy was getting torn up in there.

Why did David Blaine think we wanted to watch him not do something?

Read this as David Bowie and it made sense for some reason

Same here. I blame forgetting that David Blaine was a thing that existed. Exists? Meh, still don't care.

Same. I actually got more angry about the thought of someone torturing poor Bowie than someone taunting Blaine with a burger.

That's what I thought. Who would do such a thing?

I was wondering when David Bowie was starving himself.
anonnymoosecommenter
I thought for a second after reading your comment that it was perhaps a very subtle gif where Bowie gets switched to Blaine.
DrKenAdams
I read it as David Bowie as well. It didn't make sense, half that stuff here doesn't.
fairybug
I did, too! I thought I'd gone nuts when I saw this again and it said Blaine 'instead'.

He did a TED talk. Said much about the brain damage he risked from the stunts, which was sadly apparent.
Smittywerbenjagermenjenson
Brain damage! Ever since the day I was born.
CleverUsernameHaha
He already did!

Brain damage came before the stupid stunts. Worst. Magician. Ever.

That was his choice, though. Nobody forced him to do any of these stunts.

You don't say
370zSteve
He did it for the points
totesronjeremy
I never get these comments being upvoted. Did anyone not already know this?

Every time in every post. Or stating something from the post, like "That thing it did at the end." Ohh glad you said it, would've missed it

4th comment says it's a fake, so now what am I to believe?

Watch the TED talk. You'll believe it's real. Tricks don't cause brain damage.

Well there is that. And the brain damage.

I feel like no one is mentioning the brain damage his stunts might have caused.

You mean when he pretended to be in a box for weeks? The secret to that trick was already revealed years ago
CarpenterBrute
Please tell me your (and David Blaine's) secrets. I want to be surrounded by burger-laiden helicopters!
CoriusFX
He did a water fast, I did one recently for health reasons. Planned to do only water for 10 days but was surprised I didn't feel hungry 1/2
CoriusFX
Kept going and ended it after 36 days. Many of my health problems were massively improved. It wasn't a trick he did, just fasting 2/2
1414145691
that's 1. fucking stupid and 2. you're lying 3. humans can survive 3 weeks max without food 4. no health benefits 5. probably chinese
alisongrace5656
What's the difference between starving and fasting?

If you don’t mind me asking, what sort of health issues did you find it helped with?

ojp1977
Well, damn, glad you didn't suffer any ill effects from that. I recall that a popular old time treatment for illness was drinking more water
ojp1977
flushed a lot of issues out of the body. Surviving on only water for 36 days, that's gotta be pushing your health to the limit though
ojp1977
Be careful out there, and have a wonderful day - you really deserve it
sneef
1 pound = 3500 calories, lets be generous here and say your basal metabolic rate is half that 1750. You would lose 18 pounds. 1/?
Cheomesh
Depends on size - when I was starting to get real about weight loss, my BMR was actually only 1300.
sneef
I lost 40 pounds in 2 weeks, but I ran 6+ miles daily along with other activities and was working with 500-1000 calories a day.
sneef
I don't recommend this, one thing will stick with me, during this period, I was cold, SO COLD. I was shivering like a madman at 40-60 F
sneef
And if it was 3500 it would be 36 pounds. BMR ( it changes get as your weight changes but let's ignore that) . It's not Impossible as long
sneef
This person receieved salts, nutrients, vitamins, all that other shit one needs to functuon but remove the calories.
zekrambogg
Zero Calories for over a month? Unless you were carrying a LOT of excess weight in fat, you weren't fully fasting. Most die in that period.
InfinitusEquitas
Most people don't do complete 100% water only fasts, but more of extreme calorie restriction, and do have small ampunts of juice, or cup...
InfinitusEquitas
Of tea with small teaspon of sugar. Most also take a vitamin regimen. Calories arw far less of an issue. Take a man who is 190lb, with...
CoriusFX
Yes I was just over 19 stone. My body used around half a stone each week as energy.

Oi mate, making look up a conversion chart and all that with "stone." But I was correct in my supposition and congrats.

I hate to be that guy, but do you have some source? I've failed to find any actual "here's exactly how he did it" articles.

The hivemind is a tricky mistress. If you question someone who has "many" upvotes, you're likely to get downvoted rather than an explanation

Oh wow. So how did he ruin himself then?
ojp1977
Don't know that he did, I see a comment above about the risks of brain he underwent doing his stunts, but I've never heard of him being hurt
dazedNconfuzed
Pretty apparent he suffered significant brain damage.

BobsonDugnuttJr
He burned his double alive too?!
comingatyoulikeabeamlikearay
So fake AND boring?! Well done Dave
idontcareifthesundontshine
Weird how people believe that David Blane is the real deal. Its always clever tricks, nothing wrong with that but its not real, ever!
ojp1977
A lot of people want to believe, sometimes even want to be fooled for whatever reasons.
idontcareifthesundontshine
Yes! And they treat like a conspiracy theorist if you suggest that its a clever trick!
MitchellTF
"Breaking the magician's code" with the Masked Magician. Note that TECHNICALLY they didn't prove he did it.
MitchellTF
What they did, was prove that he COULD have used this method, and there was an opening for it...for one variation of the trick.
MitchellTF
(He most certainly did something SIMILAR...the question is how.)
ojp1977
That's the show I saw. I had it on for background noise and didn't pay too much attention to it, I thought they were showing how it was done
ojp1977
Thanks for clarifying that for me
