Bat stunt is just Blaine boring

Sep 21 2008 by Ken Oxley, Sunday Sun

ILLUSIONIST David Blaine has made a career out of pushing his body to the limits of human endurance.

He has spent a week in a glass coffin, 64 hours in a block of ice and fasted for 44 days in a box in London.

Now, for his latest stunt, he intends to hang upside down, bat-style, for 60 hours.

No one could doubt Blaine’s single-mindedness and determination . . . but boy is he boring!

At least the world’s most famous illusionist, Harry Houdini, knew how to put on a show.

Blaine, however, doesn’t just test himself . . . he tests everyone else’s patience!
