David Blaine - A Box of Blaine

David Blaine spent 44 days in a box above the Thames in London. Was it magic? An illusion? or a last ditch attempt to keep his name in the media for a little longer? You decide.

Wow. I feel old now! I was about 15 at the time. I'll always remember it too.. for some reason it always sticks with me. I remember looking up and waving at him and he waved back.

It was 19 years this week since David Blaine completed his London Bridge stunt. Surviving on just water for six weeks whilst contained 24/7 within a 7ft x 7ft x 3ft clear box hoisted high above the River Thames was an astonishing feat. Blaine was mocked, taunted and verbally abused whilst the clear box in which he was held was regularly attacked with missiles of all forms. Online Blaine Baiting websites & groups were created to discuss ways of disturbing his sleep, barbequing food close to his glass box to torment him amongst other things to intensifying his mental & physical suffering with the ultimate aim of 'breaking him' and forcing him to abandon the challenge but six weeks after entering the box, the box was brought down and a weak starved and 4 stone lighter Blaine was helped out before being rushed to hospital to begin his recovery. As much as some folk disliked the guy what he achieved was remarkable.

I think the craziest part about this to me is that he didn't eat a single thing in those 44 Days. I can't even begging to imagine the boredom. I would be ready to call it quits after only a few hours. Much less a month and a half. David Blaine is incredibly tough mentally. He's one Badass Mother Fucker for sure and I'm so glad I was fortunate enough to grow up watching him do this crazy ass Shit. Guys like this only come around once in a generation if that.

[@thegoodguy44]

Do you actually believe everything you are told? Lol.

[@Barneyismyname]

This might seem like a stupid question but... how did he pee?

[@altarec123]

I guess peeing is to eliminate what your body doesn't need, so if you drink only water at a rythm that your body needs it you don't pee or you pee very little.

[@pglove69]

poop? I seen a hatch on the side of the box.

[@matt25675]

altarec no... peeing is to eliminate toxins. If he went that long without peeing he would die

[@zaina3723]

44 day

[@Pirosbor]

For pee, he would use a catheter or something similar. Not much of a mystery, he definitely would have peed lol stupid to suggest otherwise. As for poop, he would have stopped eating prior to this stunt in order to rid his body of faeces.

[@boo8822]

It's called refeeding syndrome and if he ate that much imediately after he would probably go into shock and die. You have to start eating very very small portions at a time are your body can't handle it and goes into shock.

I feel like this is a lot less impressive than what it's billed as. The record for fasting is 382 days, believe it or not. I've personally made it for 34 days when I was doing ministry work and after the first several days you don't even start to feel that hungry once your body starts breaking down fat. I'm sure that he and his team made sure that he was going into it with a very nutritionally rich diet that would have given his body everything he needed to make the process as painless as possible. Moreover, I'd say that anyone who has spent extended periods of time in solitary confinement without all the fan-fair has gone through something way more challenging, even if they did get to eat every day.

I think its cool that he did that. It's actually isn't a big deal, drinking water only fasts are actually considered healing process for the body, maybe not for 44 days but few weeks most certainly. I myself fast often. Him doing this perhaps will make some people see that eating 3 times a day and having continues access to nibbles and be told that you must eat is totally silly, specially when we fall ill, we are told to eat for energy. But actually the opposite is true, notice that you lose appetite when sick, because the body wants to repair it self and not be busy digesting food. I encourage anyone who is interested to read on the subject of "Fasting" and try it out for them self, take blood test before and after and be amazed. It is also interesting that most religions mention and in some require fasting.
