Did you see what happened when he came to London and lived in a glass box for a month? The treatment he got, now that was magic! Golf balls....chicks flashing their tits, he got it all.....

From CNN:

LONDON, England -- During a week suspended high in a glass box in London, illusionist David Blaine has been taunted by passersby, pelted by flying objects and kept awake by a banging drum.

But the American -- attempting to go 44 days without food and nothing but water to sustain him -- may be shaken but he has not stirred from his perch over the River Thames.

Since the showman began his stunt Friday, people have attempted to dislodge him by throwing eggs at his transparent box -- measuring 7ft deep, 7ft long and 3ft wide.

Blaine, a self-styled modern-day Houdini, has also been taunted by the smell of fish and chips, and woken up by a man banging a drum.

Police were called in to deal with the egg thrower Tuesday. "The man was given a stern talking to. But he was not arrested,'' a police spokesman told Reuters.

The 30-year-old New Yorker -- known for other feats of endurance such being buried alive and encased in a block of ice -- has been drawing inquisitive onlookers as well as agitators.

And they have caused problems of their own.

The stunt has resulted in traffic problems as motorists driving across the city's Tower Bridge slow down to take a look. Up to 4,000 people turned out to see Blaine begin his gruelling challenge.

"On Friday (when Blaine began the stunt) traffic across Tower Bridge was pretty chaotic," said a spokeswoman at the UK's Automobile Association, which has been receiving call from disgruntled motorist.

"This week it (traffic) has been relatively slow," she told CNN.

Some of the pranks have been put down to idle boredom.

"We were watching him at home on TV and it was really dull so we thought we would come down and liven things up. I wanted to wake him up,'' the impromptu drummer Shiraz Azam, 21, told London's Evening Standard.

Despite much publicity, Blaine's feat will not be recognized by the Guinness Book of Records.

If I recall they were waving burgers in his face and I don't remember if this was done or if it was my idea but it was someone holding up a sign during the last week that said "way to go! halfway there!"

[Hayduke]

He got the full works. It was on the news every night with some different wind up. Two guys took their golf clubs down there and started firing golf balls at him. Someone else turned off his water supply. People threw burgers, fish & chips, kebabs. At pub closing time it was carnage. Some people sympathised with him, others persecuted him. Cops just about stopped the fighting between the two camps.

I remember the guy shining a laser pointer at him and everyone panicking and thinking it was a sniper...

It's obviouslly all bull, but impressive nonetheless.
