“What a funny way to be woken up.” -- David Blaine, after a group of off-duty soldiers serenaded him (with “Swing Low Sweet Chariot”) during his 44-day stay in a plexiglass box suspended over London’s River Thames
“A man just took all his clothes off, waved at me and then jumped into the river naked, and now he’s swimming across the river. That’s pretty crazy.” -- Blaine describing one of his fans, who also included mooning rugby players and women dancing in their underwear
“Now I know why all the security guards kept looking at me – they all had bets on me!” -- Blaine after learning of the odds [1 in 4] that he would fail to remain in the box for 44 days
