    not to mention he didn't really hang upside down that whole time. Every so often (I think it was 15 minutes) he got to stand upright to go to the bathroom and for the doctors to check him out.

    I think his "magic" is great. He does amazing illusions. However, his "stunts" are super boring. The ice thing, standing on a pole, and now hanging upside down. In the words of Matt Foley as played by Chris Farley.."Whoopdy friggin' do!!!"

    I agree with this. Not sure how much of his normal tricks are just staged for the camera as opposed to being ACTUALLY impressive in real life, but if they don't re-edit the tape afterwards it's pretty impressive.

    The stunts though? So stupid. Why does anyone watch taht nonsense?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    LOL we saw him hanging over Wolman rink yesterday.........and in another section of the park they were inflating huge helium filled ballons and then attached them to a guy wearing a harness type vest.....when the guy rose up to around 40 feet he pulled a cord which let him freefall to just inches above the ground and then the ballons lifted up again...............the EXACT same thing that DB did for the socalled death dive.......he was attached to the ballons...pulled the cord... dropped to the stage.. and then floated high into the sky........have a bunch of pics of the guy who was testing out the ballon harness in my camera.....will post when I get back home....spending a wonderful time in Wayne NJ until Saturday opening up our newest market........
