The world was witness to another amazing feat of magic and endurance this week, as wizardly wonder David Blaine hung upside down over Wollmann ice rink in New York for 60 hours. After hanging from his heels from Monday through to Wednesday evening, Blaine ended his stunt by diving off a 44 foot platform.
There were claims from the public and the media that Blaine had not performed the stunt as he had promised, as he took regular breaks to stand whilst drinking and urinating. Despite this, several hundred fans cheered him on when he made the dive.
However, we're not sure if anyone is actually bothered about David Blaine any more. In the past he has spent 72 hours encased in ice, seven days underwater and 44 days in a see-through box. But is anyone actually bothered?
This week's Friday Poll asks: Were you impressed by David Blaine's 60-hour inversion?
Yes, it's an amazing feat
No, he's old news
I've never been interested in his tricks
David Who?
Nice to see that the poll results sends a side ways message to David Blaine and his incredible lack of personality.
Cant he give them better names? This one could have been called "Daft Tit Dangle" and when he lived in a glass box and starved "Starving Daft Tit Dangle"

Nice ideas, 'anonamous' (if that is your real name). I like Marcus Brigstock's phrase "Git Wizard", personally. He went with "Freakdangle" for the glass box stunt, which is particularly appropriate. Hang on, I'm meant to be impartial, aren't I? Oh well.
And I want to know who voted 'yes'.
