Following in the Footsteps of Houdini

Please for the love of God! Make. Him. Stop.

David Blaine must know a thing or two about black magic. There is no other explanation why he still has a career.

In fact, next week he's even booked a gig on Oprah. How did he do that! It defies explanation.

She is, after all, the controller of the known television universe.

The stunt he's concocted this time is a throwback to the legendary Houdini. David plans to break the record for holding his breath under water. That means staying under a whopping 16 minutes and 14 seconds.

Houdini died trying to pull off a water stunt. The old magic man was punched in the stomach right before the stunt, which disrupted his breathing.

So what's it take to find a willing assistant who can throw a nice one right into the old solarplexes of David Blaine?

Just one quick shot. We're not asking for much.

It's just time to put an end to magic and magicians. Honestly, it was boring back in the day of Harry Houdini. So why does it continue?

Admittedly, there are some magic fans out there, but thankfully none of them work at The Fug.

So someone please, make David Blaine stop.
