[Der Nister]

Has a new TV special on May 8 - I'm a fan and I'm looking forward to seeing this next one.

[Morbid Side]

He's good for demonstrating practical illusions. I might check it out.

[ManicQueen]

Sweet. My daughter and I will be watching that for sure.

[ManicQueen]

Watched it. I knew he wouldn't beat the record. How the hell can someone hold their breath for over 7 minutes let alone 9 minutes? I can't even hold mine for 30 seconds!

Regardless, it was interesting to watch.

[Homicidalheathen]

He was crying when they took him out. It was......emotional........for him. Not me. I was wondering wtf just happened as I ate my cheese its.

[The_Dark]

Does he ever do magic? I mean.. He calls himself a magician...

[kellygrrrrrl]

He totally flopped.

:laughing

Oh, man, all that build up for nothing!

gotta love it

[n0Mad]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't think so. He kinda did on his very first TV special, but they were more like the cheap ass tricks you'd get at a kiosk in the mall than anything really worth doing. But, the crowds in the video seemed to like his stuff and I guess that's all that really matters.

[torn asunder]

i don't think he flopped at all, really - i mean the world-record holder attempted to beat his own record and only lasted 6-something minutes, and it was *his record*! :blink

i think he could have done it, had he not had to "escape" from the chains - all the extra exertion burned what little oxygen he had left... :doh

still, overall, worth the 45 minutes i spent half-watching it! :laughing

[Brenda Starrr]

I'm unimpressed.

[Der Nister]

I freaking forgot all about it and missed it. :whistling

And I started this damn thread. :laughing

[Slept with ghost]

heh im sorry but thats kinda funny

[ManicQueen]

I freaking forgot all about it and missed it.  :whistling

And I started this damn thread.  :laughing

[Marblez]

Just saw a news twaser - he ended up in intensive care and they think he may not fully recover!!!

Which begs the question, was he ever fully there to begin with?

I know, right?

[ManicQueen]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ya know, I thought the same thing. You'd have to be half gone to try to attempt some of the stupid things he's done.

Hell, I'll lay down face first on a bed of broken glass and have FarrIL stand on my head but at least that's entertaining. DB's stunts? *yawn*

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hmm... naked?

[n0Mad]

Hmm... naked?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I hope she's naked. :grin I was waiting for her to wear a skirt to one of our rehearsals but alas, that never happened. =(

Oh ... you meant me? Well, shirtless at least. I wouldn't go completely naked. A thong at minimum. Considering our performance was for a bunch of high school kids, shirtless was probably just on this side of the line and pantless would be right out.

[HighProtein]

I enjoy what he does but jumping on boxes

and holding breath after stunts was kinda dumb

and un-necessary but hey thats what the crowd wants.
