Yeah, but it's all negative! I don't really agree with that old "No such thing as bad publicity. How many people when they need an entertainer say, "Get that guy that everyone makes fun of and says he sucks."

I imagine watching this event in a nice comfy chair would not be a good idea if one wished (for some unfathomable reason) to watch all the way through.

I visited NYC during Drowned Alive and even factoring in the digs, there was a buzz about him being in the bubble. it was a larger than life experience that people wanted to see with their own eyes.

also, this is only the publicity stunt to get people to watch the special which will (theorhetically) still contain magic.

Is it really the public saying this or just magicians?

Now there's the rub. He's being touted as a "performance artist", not a magician by some. As for public buzz, I'm getting zip in my circle.

I've considered him a performance artist more than a magician for some time. Regards buzz... its early yet. He'll be doing the CNN and ET stuff before his stunt and then you'll see some buzz.

I'm just answering your question about magicians or the public. I'm 5 miles from Blaine Central and hearing very little. With Cindi Adams breaking(?) this story, it's low on the radar.

No worries. He hasn't even officially confirmed the story yet so I suspect we'll see more when its officially announced and hyped.

When Blaine did the standing on the pole thing, a client asked one of my agents (about me) "he is going to DO some magic right? He's not going to just stand there...?" Not sure how tongue in cheek he was.

After about 11 days he'll start hallucinating and imagining that he's really a magician. Smile

I remember decades ago reading a Rolling Stones story, in Rolling Stone, Keith had been up for ten days straight...broken his own record - I think that was it ...there was partying involved...I think that was it...yawn

There's plenty of meth heads 'round these parts that can do 11 days easy.

If I stay up for more than 24 hours I get really angry. I can't understand what the draw is in all this stuff, but people eat it up.
Magic is doing improbable things with odd items that, under normal circumstances, would be unnessecary and quite often undesirable.
