David Blaine: Genius or moron?

Genius..people think he's still doing "magic", and they are completely missing the point of his stunts. He isn't creating illusions, he is pushing the human body to extreme limits with endurance tests. He is doing what the Yogis and Natives of many tribes have done for ages, see how much the human body can sustain. It's really quite beautiful in a spiritual way. \n\nThis isn't about entertainment for him, it's about honoring a subculture legacy that was embraced by his idols before him.\nHoudini did these tests too. \nThose that think he is still in the whole "pick a card" thing are just not getting it.\n\nI have a friend who lives in New York and she said she saw him in the globe and he looked like a Beta fish.

I know who your talking about, he has the character with the skull cap thing huh.  Yeah, he does seem a bit strange, seems very opinionated and blunt when  answers my questions.  To be honest, i have not agreed with one thing he has said.\n\nIf he says your not smart, maybe he should check himself.  Anyone who just cuts and pastes anwers might as well be a research monkey and not an intelligent person at all.

Criss Angel is a nicer guy in person. I met him in Vegas on the strip. He is really cool. Blaine is all  about getting chicks any more. If you a good looking babe he will be all over you.

Lol I love your question man. To tell you the truth I asked myself the same thing. And I think he may pass off for stupid. I think he's just not fit to be president and that his advisors weren't helpful to improve that.

Someone has been watching MIB too much...\n\nI wouldn't say dumb...probably stupid is the better word. Panicky? Most people seem that way.

Well I don't know him but I have seen his work... that guy freaks me out... I have always been the type who loves to figure out how they did the trick... but with this guy I just give up... He is amazing. David Blaine should kiss his A$$ on national TV.

Exactly, he's just an over-hyped magician. David Copperfield is pretty amazing too.

Read this:\n\nCritics such as Mark Harris of the British Free Diving Association have been reported before the stunt saying that Blaine would have had an unfair advantage.[3] In any case, Blaine's feat could not have been officially recognized, as judges from the International Association for the Development of Apnea (IADA) were not present to verify that Blaine breathed no pure oxygen for at least two hours prior to beginning his attempt. For reference, the world record for holding one's breath after having breathed pure oxygen is closer to fifteen minutes.[4]

I think he is a very confused but talented genius.

Yeah, I've seen him and I don't think he's a damn bit funny.  \nThe original "What should I do retard"  had the same problem, he had 5 clones.\nI don't see why they can't come up with their own ID instead of using someone else's.

Fake tht has been exposed.. sorry to dash ur thoughts ...truth is i saw a scientific documentary which clearly shows how he uses magician like tricks to fool people \n\nFor eg tryin to convince people into thinkin he can somehow bless them with his 'miraculous dust' when really it was jus a small piece of chalk neatly hidden between his fingers and crushed when supposedly 'anointin or blessin' his followers\n\nIn addition also am aware of people who claim to ave been sexually abused.. even if u thought them to be detractors u cant deny the prev mentioned scientific evidence..
