David Blaine May Damage His Blaine-Brain

Following up a stellar career so far - titting around in a perspex box without any food and standing in some ice near a pavement - illusionist David Blaine has revealed details of his next 'stunt.' And also revealed his worries that it may leave him brain damaged.

The stunt itself? He's planning on going a whole 12 days without sleep, thereby setting a world record and possibly impressing someone somewhere in the world who doesn't really have much else to concentrate on.

Announcing his latest idiot-odyssey at the premiere of I Am Legend, Blaine waffled on about how he had been undergoing a strenuous training regime in order to a) cope with the ordeal, and b) presumably stop his tired little grey brain cells from popping like champagne bubbles via the helping hand of 50 push-ups every morning.

Blaine babbled:

"I'm going for the world record. I need to be in good shape for this. And yes. I am worried that this will cause some serious damage. That's why I'm working out so hard."

Further details have yet to be revealed. Obviously the location is going to be an important factor - standing in a room where non-stop recordings of car alarms are blasted out 24 hours a day would surely aid the snoozeless process along nicely, while being strapped to a chair and made to watch repeat viewings of Spider-Man 3 would send even an insomniac caffeine addict to slumberland.

The great irony is, of course, that while Blaine is subjecting himself to a lack of sleep, the rest of the world will be so bored with his attention-grabbing nonsense that everyone will probably suffer a sudden attack of narcolepsy, collapse where they're standing, wake up a fortnight later and have to take Blaine's word for it that he actually went through with the stunt.

Man. He could wing this one easily.
