Most likely not, but still, Penn spilled a little snark David’s way via Twitter re: being a magician and having someone capture your image whilst hanging upside down.

Was this post an excuse to run that Photoshop? …maybe.

From the blog of photographer Michael Lavine:

“It’s not going to work!” Thats the first thing David Blaine said to me when he walked into the studio. After explaining our plan and showing him how prepared we were, he then proclaimed that it would take 5 tries to get it right.

Spoiler Alert: db is right.

What a great shot though…

Props to Ellusionist for snagging this.

UK Boy Band JLS Wants David Blaine To Help With Live Tour

Posted by Editor on July 14th, 2010

According to Yahoo UK, David Blaine could be putting helping out with winter tour for pop group JLS…

JLS are seeking help from telly illusionist David Blaine to assist them on their UK arena tour this winter.

The boy band are hoping to graft some top flight magic into their stage show, and have sought Blaine in the hope that he will do the honours.

“They want to incorporate some illusions into their show and are keen for him to come up with the creative work on it as they’re huge fans of his,” said a source.

“It’s important for the guys to find out what can be recreated each night easily as they will be taking the props around the country. They will need tricks that can be quickly assembled and simple to transport.

“As far as JLS are concerned they think David is the best and can create something incredible.”

Book your tickets now! Or don’t. That’s fine.

This one is pretty much for our UK readers only, but since it’s popped up in our Google Alerts like 75 times today, we figured we’d pass it on…

David Blaine’s amazing world record of spending 42 days inside a box while doing nothing except watching the world go by has just been beaten by Wayne Rooney.

See, Wayne Rooney had big expectations to carry England to a World Cup victory but instead went without a goal while his team toiled in disappointing play before being eliminated by Germany this weekend. So there’s that.
