No, it takes a lot to impress me, and a magic trick or other stupid stunt isn't the way to do it.

i think the trick is getting old. the first one he did was pretty kewl but the subsequent ones are a bit more extreme but nether the less the same. its like those 'make big things disappear' in the 90's. its fun to watch but gets old quick.

I'm impressed by the English reaction to him. I will LMAO if they manage to drive him off before he finishes his stunt.

Me too! 44 days without food is impressive, but if he actually makes it the 44 days without getting kicked off it will not be from actually going 44 days without food but by cheating. I simply don't believe that a human being of his stature (very small with low bodyfat and low muscle) can go 44 days with nothing but water.

No that doesn't impress me. It's a trick. He's not actually in a box doing nothing for 44 days with no food. I wouldn't be impressed if he was there for a whole year. Because he is NOT actually doing it. I'm sure they have 2 or 3 guys rotating each taking a daylong shifts or so. (just like they did with the block of ice.)

If he'd let me build a cage and lock him in my office for 44 days without food, then I'd be impressed. But it's just a magic trick. The whole point is to make people believe he's doing something without actually doing it. I'll give him credit for sitting on the toilet while thinking up ways to make people think he's fasting in a box. But I'll never give him any credit for actually doing it.
