David Blaine's Next Trick? Here Are Eight Suggestions - Page 2

• PROPOSAL NO. 4 — David Blaine plays Grand Theft Auto for six straight days, actually trying to beat the game and not just steal cars in order to run over old people.

• PROPOSAL NO. 5 — David Blaine dons a Philly Phanatic mascot suit doused in deer urine, camps out in the forest for 18 days.

• PROPOSAL NO. 6 — David Blaine lies in a sauna for 16 days, then dives into a wading pool full of raisins, with which he is scooped and poured into a bowl of giant cereal; he stays there for eight days, and after the elapsed time, he's the only thing that isn't soggy.

• PROPOSAL NO. 7 — David Blaine sits through an entire screening of Kevin Costner's The Postman, followed by a Dane Cook comedy routine and a mime opera.

• PROPOSAL NO. 8 — David Blaine disappears from the spotlight for 20 consecutive years — longer if needed, or if the public forgets about the stunt.

    7 seems like the hardest, but 8 is the most appealing for the rest of us.

    David Blaine's finest illusion has something to do with Sarah Palin and the fact that he is her. I'm not giving away the ending, though.

    I'm all for the tilt-a-whirl, though I think the food should be raw eggs and castor oil.

    That's quite a list - what will he have left to do after that? Cut a crappy rap album and bomb a few movies, I guess.
