DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?
Gratuitous image (1) ... mmm!
David has wisely decided to keep a low profile, and will be flying over to the other side of the pond.
The good news for British fans is that he will be touring Northern England next summer and will be showcasing some of his famous death defying stunts!
These will include:
*SITTING on a child's high chair in the parking bay outside the Mansfield Travelodge between the hours of dusk and dawn every night during the month of June. Expect something surprising to happen on summer solstice night ... IF you believe in the power of dreams!!!
*DRIVING around the endless spiralling road leading to Ferrybridge motorway service station in Yorkshire in a golf cart for two days (except for toilet breaks) while listening to The Windmills Of Your Mind on a continuous loop ...
"Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel"
*LYING in a bath full of cold baked beans for 24 hours to raise money for a kiddies hospital at the annual Round Table August Bank Holiday Fayre in Ambleside.
Non-gratuitous Dibley ... "eeeeeeh"
... and perhaps most sensationally ...
*HANGING from the belfry of Swinnerton Parish Church, Staffordshire on a few yards of elastic dressed as Dawn French in The Vicar Of Dibley (bobby wig, hideous baggy fair isle jumper, etc.) while giant screens show every episode of The Vicar Of Dibley back to back. Viewers should be forewarned that there will be toilet breaks.
Gratuitous image (2) ... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Something for everyone then!
... but only IF you believe in the power of dreams! Do you? No, honestly ... DO YOU?
Footnote: I don't feel that I can offer an objective opinion on David Blaine's stunts for the simple reason that I would like to give him a good seeing to. It must be the "just recovering from severe concussion" demeanour. I'm a sucker for that.
