David Blaine messed it up big time. But he still came out crying to a shit load of people screaming his name. He said "I love you all so much" and "thank you so much" and he stepped down the ladder. He went over to a doctor dressed in blue ER scrubs and talked into the mike while they assesed his condition. Feeling in the fingertips? No, they are numb, especially this one (touch touch). Let's look at your fingernails (tsk tsk). Here's what he didn't do:
1. hold his breath underwater for nine minutes (he did for seven and started convulsing)
2. was not discreet about magically getting out of 180 lbs worth of chains and locks (he blatantly picked the locks, did not even try to hide the key/pick; abc had to move the camera angle)
3. he didn't say "i love you" or "thank you" to his anxious girlfriend who seemed to make up half of the whole show, hanging out, wringing her hands, looking all scared with her sexy doe eyes

But I still like him. I don't know why. Maybe it's because if I wanted to be famous I would do it that way. Do something weird that pisses people off. Something that they talk about even though they hate it. He's like Mary Tyler Moore to me. People call him a magician but most of his acts are not magical at all: they're stunts that leave him crying and people confused. What a world to live in, what a time to reconcile. Apathy and self destruction. He'll be in the hospital for awhile.
