Magical tool David Blaine is pulling every excuse out of thin air for his failed stunt Wednesday night. First it was George W. Bush's fault (well, everything is, really). Now it's Mother Nature's fault, because she had the audacity to ruin his plans for "the most amazing ending for a stunt ever" (his words, not ours) with high winds.
Blaine said his grand finale of diving from a platform 44 feet to the ground while attached to a harness didn't go according to plan. He was supposed to jump and, at 10 feet, be swept away by a bunch of helium-filled balloons. Instead, he dangled awkwardly for a moment before disappearing in an ascent into the night sky.
Blaine said ABC, which aired the event in a two-hour special called David Blaine: Dive of Death, had encouraged him not to dive because of high winds. 'I wasn't going to let everybody down, so I just jumped, and somehow the guys with the balloons made it work, and they pulled me slowly up and I went over into the park and they pulled me down,' he said.
He went on to add that he knew the stunt had failed when his friends called him afterward to ask what happened because they were confused. DB? Those aren't your friends. That was every American idiot who sat through your ABC special. Don't get the two confused.

Whatever. I'd have more respect for him if he just came out and said the trick didn't work, I fucked up. I'd still think he was a douche, but at least I would respect him taking responsibility for himself rather than pointing fingers everywhere else.
When Penn and Teller see this fool I hope they just point and laugh. Well, Penn will belly laugh, Teller with just shake his head in disappointment and disgust.
Why does David Blaine think people care? That would be his greatest trick ever.
Dear David……Next time just give the people what they want…DIE!
The Presidential candidates can let you down, the economy can let you down, but by golly, DAVID BLAINE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.

Hannah is embarrassed to have been seen with Blaine.
David Blaine = tool
TOTAL BS. I was watching the entire thing in Central Park and there was absolutely no wind at all. I was standing on the upper platform about 20 feet up of the 44 feet. I doubt the weather greatly differed in another 24 feet.
Total sham and a complete waste of two hours.
but there WAS a lot of wind…. from all of the smoke he was blowing up everyone's ass.
David Blaine…what a douche bag, seriously.
The magic on the show was awesome. The guy took a bullet, took a punch from Kimbo Slice, tossed a dart through a card signed and then mixed into the deck by a Mexican gang-banger, not to mention countless other effects that blew people's minds from all walks of life. Amazing how all you people want to focus on is the negative. No wonder this country is in the shit-shape that it is.
Why do people like to talk so much shit? SO the trick went wrong. He's doing a free show, trying to be entertaining. LIke this asshole named "BLUE" had anything better to do for two hours? It's suppose to be "FUN" — it's "ENTERTAINMENT" — you didn't fuckin pay for it, you asshole. I'll remember to get online and talk shit about you next time you mess up my order at Taco Bell.. That goes for all you assholes in here, including Whitney who posted this.
I'm in total agreement with #10 & #11. Give DB a break! He entertained us for 1 hour 45 minutes with other amazing tricks before his main stunt didn't work out. It was a LIVE stunt people. Shit happens! DB is awesome!! I'd take him over Criss Bling Bling Angel anytime! Criss Angel, unfortunately, has gone so Hollywood.
