Title: David Blaine - Dive of Death....WTF?!?

Did anyone just see that crap?

Clearly they botched whatever the trick was supposed to be. You could see it on his face.

Yeah I happened to catch it tonight. Total piece of crap.
The bullet catch was cool though.

I have never liked Blaine. I date someone who saw one of his films and she fell for the levitation trick hook line and sinker. (I think he also does a water walking trick, but I don't quite recall.) She was absolutely convinced he was the next messiah or some other nonsense. Started reading up on all sorts of bizarre paranormal topics and it eventually led her to Satanism. How she got from Blaine to Satanism is beyond me.

Our relationship completely fell apart about two years later. Apparently she felt that I did not understand (or care) for her feelings and she wanted someone more mature (who didn't play video games and owned his own house) to grow old with. She ended up moving in with some supposedly injured ground pounder living in his father's guest house.  ::)

I didn't watch the special. I just turned to my local ABC station for the evening news and he was still on.

I had no clue he even had a new stunt going on. I guess his crew didn't either.

Either something went wrong, or it was supposed to be incredibly unimpressive.

Here he is explaining what was supposed to happen (and it doesn't sound impressive at all)

I don't get it. Where was the stunt in either version?

Wait a minute, she got into satanism and wanted somebody more mature?  :laugh2: Not many satanic senior citizens' homes around where I come from. I had a few friends in highschool who really got into that stuff and I read a few of Lavey's books but it all sounded a bit dull to me.  :angel: All of us are now "mature", have families but still play videogames...
