David Blaine Wrap-Up

The NY Times rarely makes me laugh, but echoing my question when I first heard of his drowned alive stunt, Ginia Belafonte wrote yesterday:



"To the matter of Mr. Blaine's unusual choice of vocation, one always wants to ask: What would have been so bad about law school? Before the water tank immersion, Mr. Blaine famously spent seven days in a glass coffin and locked himself in a closet of ice in the middle of Times Square. In dreamy montages last night, Mr. Blaine explained that these exercises are all part of his "journey," that they "make people think." Magic, he said, "brings people together who might not come together." Well, so does the airport."
