David Blaine
Anyone watch the "Drowned Alive" presentation on ABC? David Blaine was going for a world record of 9 minutes holding his breath underwater but couldn't pull through and had to come up for air like 7 or so minutes into the count.

hmm. I assumed it was going to be a magic trick. I guess it was real and the dude just couldn't do it.

If they wanted it "drowned alive" then they should have left him in there trapped and the only way to get out is stay in there for 9 mins. I hate these shows. Like they are really going to let him die.

Did everyone actually watch the entire show? How in the hell did he pull that ladies teeth out and then blow/spit them back in?
Crazy! And the shoelace thing. Dude had his shoelaces untied and he just shook his foot and they tied. He then taught a little kid to do it and the kid did. Again, Crazy!

Give me Copperfield any day of the week over Blaine. Check this out. He is a badass.
David Copperfield Robbed at Gunpoint Wednesday Apr 26, 2006 12:00pm EST By Emily Fromm CREDIT: RANK RUMPENHORST / EPA / LANDOV Magician David Copperfield and two female assistants were robbed at gunpoint Sunday night after a performance in West Palm Beach, Fla. At about 11:15 p.m., Copperfield, 49, and staffers Cathy Daly and Mia Volmut were walking back to their tour bus after dinner when a black car pulled up beside them and two people got out, according to a statement issued by Copperfield's rep. "At first we thought they were just more people wanting autographs," the statement continues. "They told us to give them our money and our stuff. At that point we realized that there were guns in our face." Daly and Volmut gave the robbers a purse containing 200 euros, $100, a passport, plane tickets and a cell phone, plus $400 in pocket money, according to a police report. But Copperfield, his statement says, turned his pockets inside out to show that they were empty – a sleight of hand by the master illusionist, who later showed police that his pockets were filled with cell phones, a wallet and a passport. "Call it reverse pickpocketing," Copperfield later told the Palm Beach Post. As the assailants drove away, Copperfield and Daly took down their car's license plate numbers and called the police. Officers arrived on the scene and quickly captured the suspects, whom Copperfield and his staff later positively identified. Police said four teenagers were arrested, charged with armed robbery and held without bond, the Associated Press reports. The purse and property were recovered. "I look forward to coming back to Palm Beach in the future, knowing that crime can happen anywhere, but from what I witnessed from the officers that night, we were lucky to be in Palm Beach when it did happen," Copperfield says in the statement. He is currently on a 50-city U.S. tour, "An Intimate Evening of Grand Illusion."

I still like Colbert's impression of that better. Hilarity.

Yeah that tooth thing was the craziest thing I have ever seen. He could have held his breath for 20 minutes and it wouldn't have topped the tooth trick. They need to burn him for witchery before he kills us all.
