Is it possible that someone has far too much time on their hands?

Blaine is buzzed by burger

If you were looking for some cheap publicity for your sorry excuse for a career, you couldn't have done much better than David Blaine. Before you know it, EVERYONE will be wanting to hang out in plexiglass cages while suspended in midair. Adding to the theater of the absurd atmosphere are the lengths that some people will go in attempting to distract Blaine into losing his resolve.

PRANKSTERS used a remote-control helicopter to test David Blaine’s resolve yesterday — by dangling a cheeseburger in front of him.

The magician, who hadn’t eaten for seven days, was repeatedly buzzed as the 2ft chopper flashed in front of his perspex cage.

But the 30-year-old illusionist laughed off the stunt.

Meanwhile, an internet plot to target him with hundreds of laser pens failed last night when just two anoraks turned up at London’s Tower Bridge.

That was a relief for Blaine, who managed to unburden even MORE yesterday.

He hid under a blanket to change a nappy — the first time he has been to the loo. Blaine aims to survive on water for 44 days.

I wonder how long it's going to be before someone begins taking potshots at Blaine's cage with a BB gun? THAT ought to be a good time....
