Default drowned alive?

did anyone watch this david blaine special? apparently he spent a week underwater, and then tried to set a record for holding his breath for over 8 minutes and 58 seconds or something.. he fell short of the breath holding thing, but set the record for longest continuous time underwater. during the special it showed clips of different illusions he has performed.. including bending bars in a prison with only his hands. i don't know whether or not to believe some of this stuff.. what do you think?

p.s.

the craziest thing it showed him do was pull two of this girls teeth with his hands, hold them for a moment, and then blow on her face and the teeth were back in place.

I was surfing and caught the teeth thing. That was very cool. I have no idea how he did it. I skipped the rest.

i have no idea how he does any of the **** he does, but i know the majority of it cannot be real. like most of the strength stuff he does is real..that's just about concentration and zen and incense and all that...you know, asian stuff or whatever...but all the tricks about walking through windows and pulling peoples teeth out...that's just not possible. we had a discussion about this guy a few months ago..i'm too lazy to go find it

zen won't bend prison bars.. i can't believe that it will. that was crazy to see.. he just reached up and pushed/pulled and bent the bars.

I think he is crazy. I watched that whole episode. I know a lot of people think he is BS and hate him but I think he is really insane. Even though a lot of it may not be real, he is so good that you really can't tell for sure. I like his magic a lot more than his stunts though. It's much more entertaining.

i agree.. i couldn't care less if he lives in water for 7 days.. but watching him ****** some girls teeth out of her mouth and then put them back by blowing on her.. woah dude, do it again.
