G.B. ENGLAND. London. American illusionist David Blaine in his 7 foot by 7 foot by 3 foot plexiglass box hoisted 40 feet above the River Thames' south bank, where he intends to spend 44 days with only water. During his interment he has endured the sound of drums and foghorns, the smell of sizzling burgers and the sight of hecklers' bare breasts and buttocks, not to mention an attacker. 2003.
