Washington Post - David Blaine was put into a spinning gyroscope today in Times Square in NYC. They will shackle his arms and hands in on Thursday and then he will have until Friday to make his escape. If he makes it then 100 needy children will get a $500 spree from Target. The gyroscope will spin David around 24-hours a day.

He said, “This is more difficult than anything I’ve ever done,” Blaine said before he was loaded into the gyroscope, which was then hoisted 40 feet into the air. I’ve not tested it much. I will be learning how to do this as I’m doing it.”

 Man, David Blaine has some brass balls huh?   Is this gyroscope thing more difficult than his little “Drowned Alive” stunt?   Because I certainly didn’t forget that debacle.    He tried to hold his breath for like 10 minutes or something and needed people to jump into the snow globe and save his sorry ass after like 2 minutes.   Once you fail as a magician, that’s it.   It’s time to wrap it up move on.    Nobody wants to see him get out of a spinning gyroscope or whatever the hell it is.     In my book he should be dead to begin with.  I think it’s bullshit that people were allowed to help him in the Drowned Alive special.   You either escape or you die.  It’s that simple. You can't just move on to another stunt after you got your ass kicked by the last one.
