"Oh....there's David Blaine!"

So....you all know who David Blaine is.....right? If not, he is the outrageous illusionist/magician that does stunts every year. He usually does them in NY but they broadcast them on the TV specials so that EVERYONE can see him. You can read more about him if you click HERE.A couple of weeks ago, when the Roos' were here, we were in Central Park eating pizza and noticed a commotion at the skating rink. We didn't pay much attention to it because we just assumed that they were filming a movie or something. The next day.....I was in Central Park with the baby while Jennie and her husband were seeing Wicked on Broadway and we got quite the surprise!We found this sign that said that David Blaine was doing a stunt at the ice skating rink. Hmmmm! I had seen him do his stunts on TV but never in person. We walked over to check it out. He hung upside down for 2 days and then jumped off of a platform to perform the "Dive of Death." It wasn't too big of a deal....but interesting to see him hanging there.The baby is obviously excited to see David Blaine.Here is a picture that I took from a distance. It is dark but you can see him hanging by one foot in the center of the picture. I got up close but the baby started to cry and so I had to bolt.....it was super chilly that night.

Well I'm glad Max now knows who David Blaine is because his mommy is a little out of the loop.
