I don't even remember writing "Blane is poppy" and I don't read Star Trek books. I just find Blane uninteresting.

Blaine has a couple of unique tricks. Like throwing the playing card THROUGH the pane of glass. The rest is standard street magician stuff. Even the pulling the string out of his stomach was done twenty years ago by someone else. Saw it on the "Top 50 Magic Tricks of All Time" special on BBC. Blaine's street levitation was in the top 20.

i hope he falls off early
- Metalfan - 05-22-2002
Please, I walked past there yesterday.....looks like a fucking moron standing on top of a 100 foot pole. Granted, no way my ass is getting up there...but you should have seen the crowds of people just watching this jackass stand there.
falling off early = more funney

Whatta tool...
How high is this thing? really?
I've only seen it on TV and, they never give you any real refference. It's always a low angle shot and the building are too far back to get an accurate estimate.
Also, R&F covered this a bit last night and on location observers pointed out that the great magician's right leg never moves. It remains locked into a perfectly straight possition while his left one bends and leans and raises it's foot.
Watched the time-lapsed segment on good morning america and it's pretty obvious that his right leg is in fact attached to some fixed support.
Not that that makes it any less impressive to stand in a 22" circle at any height for this long... but, it would be A LOT more fun is he falls to his death.

I don't care how he does it...
I don't care if it's been done before...
He is a great showman, and I enjoy his tomfoolery.

You are so obviously repressing your homosexual urges.

I'm going to Bryant Park right now, if anyone wants to fight me. I'll be by the hotdog vendor.

Arpi, You realize you made it seem that he was going to jump into cardboard boxes from a height of 20 inches right?
Maybe that's why you haven't gotten the enthusiam you were hoping for.
So the platform is 20 inches WIDE (I'm assuimng), and he will sit on it for 36 hours. How high is he goign to jump from? 20 feet, 50 feet, 1000 feet?

damn, Fiona Apple is hot. :loveya:
- Metalfan - 05-22-2002
He's standing, and its about 100 feet high

i saw something on abc about this and they said there are things on his ankle to help keep him up but 'thats just for the wind'
- Arthur Dent - 05-23-2002
Saw it on the news this morning. The platform was 80 feet high. The stack of boxes was about ten feet high.
They also showed that he had a catheter running down his right leg and attached to some kind of drain for nature calls. Claimed that was the reason he didn't move that leg.
