Hourly Breaks? Blaine's Cheating!

Posted Sep 24, 08 3:04 PM CDT in Arts & Living,  US 

(Newser) – David Blaine takes a 10-minute break every hour? "It's cheating," says an unimpressed onlooker among a crowd of 8,000 watching Blaine hang upside down in Central Park until a grand finale tonight, the New York Daily News reports. Though the illusionist planned to do his business using a catheter, his spokesman says he "found he couldn't drink" or "relieve himself upside down."

"I'm not going to pee all over myself to satisfy those people. It's pretty hard-core," Blaine says.
