David Blaine's Disappointing Dive of Death

So David Blaine decided to hang himself upside down for 60 hours, but with 5-minute hourly rest. Makes no sense. What's the sense of doing it when he'd take an hourly rest complete with doctors on the set? The idea of a stunt, especially for magicians, is to defy what a non-magician person can do. He could have hung himself for five straight hours and it could have been more impressive.

He was also supposed to finish the act with a 10-feet jump, but instead just dangled and then he was reeled away.

"David Blaine's Dive of Death," ABC's two-hour special, only had 7.7 million viewers, not much of what had been expected.

Well, fans booed him. I guess his next act would be more thought-off than this one.
