Magician David Blaine says he is disappointed with the outcome of his latest stunt.

He's not the only one!

After hanging upside down for 60 hours over Central Park - which included many right side up breaks - BOO!!! - the plan was to conclude the stunt with a stunning "Dive of Death."

Blaine was supposed to jump and after 10 feet, be caught and carried away by a bunch of balloons. What he actually ended up doing was just dangling and then was reeled up and away.

Onlookers were not afraid to express their disappointment.

Even David's friends called him up to tell him he sucked. He says, "I know that it didn't work right when all my friends called up and said, `Wait, what happened? I'm confused.'"

You got that right!

Lame!

Peeps don't like getting played!

We previously mentioned that many folks felt like David Blaine 'cheated' his way through his 3 day, 60-hour hanging stunt over New York's Central Park because he took multiple right side up breaks during the endeavor. At least one an hour. Sometimes more!

New Yorkers are a vocal bunch and they let Blaine know how craptasticlly they viewed this latest attention seeking gig.

The 'magician' was booed by onlookers at the big, ceremonial 'conclusion' event of his 'death defying' hanging stunt in New York City on Wednesday night.

Does this mean we won't hear from Blaine for a long time!

Don't come back unless you have something really, really good, Davie!

Assumptions probably got the better of us, y'all.

David Blaine's 'hanging upside down for 60 hours' stunt is sprinkled with lots of right side up breaks!

We've received tons of angry notes from people who've made an effort to see Blaine in Central Park only to catch him during one of these 'breaks'.

A representative for the 'magician' has spoken up to diffuse the anger people are feeling. She said Blaine never intended to stay upside down for 60 consecutive hours:

"About once an hour he has to come down for a medical check, to stretch, and to relieve himself, because even David Blaine can't do that upside down. He has said all along that there will be times when he must get his head above his heart. The doctors told him if he doesn't do that, he will die."

However, a new report claims that Blaine took 3 breaks during the hour they were observing him.

This newest Blaine spectacle is set to conclude in an ABC television special Wednesday night when Blaine takes what he calls the "Dive of Death" and falls 44 feet to the ground.

Perezcious reader Rob sent us video of Blaine on one of his 'breaks'.

You can hear a little kid in the background calling Blaine a 'liar'.

That brought the LOLs!

Knowing that there are tons of breaks involved, are U less impressed with this latest David Blaine stunt?

Perezcious reader Nick from New York snapped these pictures of David Blaine hanging above the Big Apple's Central Park.

Starting at 8:30 am ET Monday, Blaine will hang above the park for 60 hours.

Doctors say Blaine could go blind from hanging upside down so long.

Crazy, crazy.

'Magician' David Blaine is putting his health on the line for his newest stunt.

Next week, he's set to hang upside down for 60 hours above Central Park in New York City.

But, according to Blaine's doctor, hanging upside down for that ridiculous amount of time could lead to blindness.

Don't do it!!!

Hanging upside down will increases blood pressure in the head, especially in the eyes.

The doctor didn't specify how long the blindness could last.

Scary!

The doc also said there's also a risk of swelling and cramps in internal organs.

But, most importantly, the stunt could yield valuable data for doctors, according to the medical expert.

Blaine will generously play 2 roles!

Entertainer and medical guinea pig.

Magician and illusionist David Blaine is ready to perform his latest act.

What stoopidity is he getting himself into now????

Blaine will be hanging upside down for three days and two nights above New York's Central Park.

Upside down for three days????

Won't his head explode or some shit????

As he is prone to do, David wants gawkers to "interact" with with him.

Of his previous interactions, Blaine says, "There are always some crazy things. I get flashed quite often. Luckily, mostly from girls."

As part of his act, Blaine will be hanging six stories up in the air suspended on a highwire.

He will also be deprived of food for his Dive of Death stunt.

The whole event will be filmed for television on September 24th.

Later this year Blaine will attempt to break the world record for sleep deprivation.

Good luck, fool.

We had some doubts, but….he did it!!

David Blaine set a new world record Wednesday for breath-holding.

The illusionist and daredevil held his breath underwater for 17 minutes and 4 seconds!

Blain's attempt was broadcast live during the Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday.

According to reports, Blaine looked relaxed afterward and said the record was "a lifelong dream."

The previous record was 16 minutes and 32 seconds, set Feb. 10 by Switzerland's Peter Colat, according to Guinness World Records.

"I feel great," Blaine said after he broke the record.

While he was submerged he started to develop an irregular heartbeat. And, yet, he went through with it anyways.

Congrats! Idiot!

So-called 'magician and endurance artist' David Blaine is up to his antics again!

He's going to try to break the world record for 'holding one's breath under water' LIVE on the Oprah Winfrey show next Wednesday, April 30th.

We'd bet money he's gonna fail!

This is just a nice, big ratings stunt.

The current world record for holding your breath under water is 16 minutes and 14 seconds.

That's a hell of a long time!

Good luck, David Blaine!

David Blaine is planning his latest stunt - to break the word record for staying awake the longest.

The previous world record is 11 1/2 days.

Explains Blaine of his latest endurance stunt:

"It's been tried before. In 1959, Peter Tripp stayed awake eight days, but it resulted in permanent brain damage. In 1964, 17-year-old Randy Gardner did it for a high school science project. He lasted 11½ days but recovered fully. No damage. A guy in London tried but fell short. Another did 19 hours but slept two hours each night, so that doesn't count. Also he was seated in a rocking chair. If I do this thing, which you claim I'm doing, I'll do it on my feet. Standing up.

After 36 hours of sleep deprivation it's like being drunk, 72 hours and paranoia sets in, Day Four the mind goes into hallucinations and you're dreaming while awake. The problem is there's no way to know how to offset brain damage or to train for this because there isn't sufficient research. I believe the first guy's mistake was not being in great physical condition. Also he used stimulants to keep awake, which I assume did him in.

All that I do will be open and documented. My income's going to the Brooke Medical Center, which helps kids, and my research to science. For instance, we already know dietary restriction is a retardation of aging and disease. When you overeat your body must work and it gets tired. If I eat medicinally, my body will be entire.

I'm dropping 30 pounds. I do two hours every day on the treadmill. I'm on a raw diet that includes brown rice. No red meat. No animal products besides cooked fish."

Good luck with that.

Nutjob!
