  1. C-C

    Anyone know who pays for the whole setup? I saw a Trump banner in the background or is Blaine independently wealthy?

    At least Houdini did something while hanging upside down; he escaped from a straight jacket. What again is the point of 60 hours upside down? Is it just an illusion of him hanging there when he is really across the park having a latte and a good chuckle?

    1. He calls it “endurance”. Apparently its risky to hang upside down for that long due to blood flow, etc. Blindness is the keyword they were promoting in the press releases.

        Thanks for that Drew - I guess I’m not on his PR list! OK, so he is intentionally risking possible physical damage to himself in full public view. For what purpose? Self promotion? Guinness record? What’s the plan for going weewee and doodee? Part of the endurance?

    1. See what my music does to people?
      It makes them want to hang themselves… upside-down.

      Thanks Drew. Thanks RB & David Blaine.

      1. WOW! To say I’m thrilled is an understatement. As James Brown used to sing: “I feel good…” Hey C-C, Kam…thanks for your positive vibes! The tour starts as soon as I get the Kenetic Orchestra together. They’re out buying ropes and chairs…

        I really want to thank Drew and the whole Rocketboom gang for creating a masterful video that made the music shine. I appreciate it more than you can imagine. Let’s keep rockin’ in the free world!!!

      WHAT??? You’ve never heard of b-man? Is this your first visit to RB? Look up the comments of just about every RB episode since … I can’t think that far back, and you’ll get an idea of who b-man is - or better yet of what b-man does! Happy viewing & listening!

    Two best lines of the day:

    “I’ve only practiced 6 hours, so…” silly me, I thought practice meant honing a skill.

    “Who is B-man?” now that’s funny! nice tunes my man.

    The music was indeed nice, btw. Dare I say is sounded… Batman-like?

    And before his untimely death more than 80 years ago, Mr. Houdini had defined the terms “showman” and “magician” in ways that Mr. Blaine will never dream up, no matter how long he hangs upside down.

      At least we have his “Dive of Death” to look forward to, if, that is, he really intends to splat himself on the sidewalk, I’d watch that but if he’s gonna dive into a tub of marshmallows…well I’d watch that too but he ain’t gonna die.

  18. Well, I’m blown away by all the positive comments today. I didn’t expect it at all. Thanks everyone. Really! Lots of new faces… Come back again, we’re always here in the comments section having fun: Kam, C-C, leron, and some other regulars.

    What would have made this a PERFECT DAY would be an entry by Joanne & Ellie. Well a man can dream, can’t he? See ya’ll tomorrow.

    he said how he is reminded of how Harry Houdini(another magician) also hung upside down while trying to get out of a straight jacket. Also how the stunt that he did started other magicians doing the same thing

    So he just hung upside down? Wtf kind of entertainment is that? I hope those people staring at him didn’t pay or anything silly like that.

    the fact that nobody has ever intentially watch either of them preform live, says a lot about the nature of their tricks. There is usually a camera involved, and only 3-20 people. Its like reality magic show tv… crap. They even do the silly after the fact interview junk. It follows the exact same formula of reality tv.

    ‘It sparked a seed of being inverted’. Yeah, magicians are always upside down, doing absolutely nothing. David Blaine has planted a fire of horrible analogy and the most monotonous illusions ever.
