This afternoon I had occasion to sit at the Legal Seafoods bar in Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC. Scarfing down a South American striped bass and earnestly chatting with a fellow participant in a conference that had wrapped the night before, I noticed the lively roar in the dining room had abruptly stopped. We surveyed the crowd, and our eyes were drawn along with theirs to the bigscreen TV hung up in a corner.
An advertisement for David Blaine's Drowned Alive event was playing. It was stunning. It had brought a restaurant full of the world's most jaded and cynical travellers ( it was, after all, Washington, DC) to a standstill.
Me being the awkward country boy I am, I blurted out " Hey! I'm going to be there for that tomorrow !"
Everyone in the room turned to stare. For a few seconds, basking in David Blaine's reflected light, I was at the top of the capital's A-List.
This thing his huge. New York Magician David Blaine to enter 8' diameter 'sphere' aquarium for seven days underwater and then end with an amazing breath-hold and life saving escape. Performance Freediving International will be maintaining a 24/7 vigil as coaches and safety divers during event and 2hr LIVE special on ABC Television.
