AmScray 355 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 So, general consensus seems to be that something went wrong with the stunt...Does anyone know what was 'supposed to happen'?As it aired: Celphone footage: Link to post Share on other sites
Asimo 1 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Another thing I hate about his card tricks is that he does it to ignorant rednecks or black people. I guess this is partly because they are the ones who will go crazy on camera but still..... Half the time when he's doing the trick he's fooling around and fumbling with the deck.I do believe he is a good performer and he works hard at pushing his body to it's limits and that's the stuff that should amaze people the most.

I guess this is partly because they are the ones who will go crazy on camera but still..... Half the time when he's doing the trick he's fooling around and fumbling with the deck.His card tricks are amazing.But what the hell...I still can't figure out what that DIVE OF DEATH!!! was supposed to be. Were we not supposed to see the wire that was used to lower him down during the "dive"? Was he supposed to snap back up really quick so we couldn't tell what was going on? When the announcer mentioned that Blaine "disappeared mysteriously" did he mean something other than being lifted by a big wire slowly out of the camera's view?How was that supposed to be anything but a huge flop?

EDIT:He took a ten minute break every hour as well. Link to post Share on other sites

dna4ever 2 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 EDIT:He took a ten minute break every hour as well.Thats the part that makes it all so silly. They lowered him down every hour for 10 minutes where he could eat, drink, talk on his cell phone, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 If you read the YouTube comments, what was *supposed* to happen with the Dive of Death was that, just at the moment of supposed impact, all the lights flash, making everyone blind for a second while the cables whisk him away into the night before everyone's eyes had time to readjust to the darkness. So instead of a splattered body, there's empty space. For some reason, the cable didn't work, so he's just left dangling there like a dork. The worst failed magic trick in history! Live on television! Link to post Share on other sites

Live on television!well if thats the case, I guess its a good thing that it messed up before he dropped as opposed to the alternative. would've been more entertaining though.
