David Blaine Dissappointment!

I've always been a big fan of David Blaine, the street magician/endurance artist, yet after today's "Dive of Death" stunt I'm beginning to question his magic! I watched the ABC special tonight for 2 hours, with high anticipation of the climax, when he was suppose to dive 44 feet. Into what?, they never made clear, but I assumed it would be water... Sure it was impressive that he'd been hanging upside down for 60 hours, but still we're talking national prime television here... show me something amazing! I defended him, when he blew it 2 years ago in the Water Breath Holding stunt, but this is too much... The stunt ended by him jumping from a bungee chord, and then "floating away"?? The commentator spiced it up of course, saying "Blaine had just disappeared", but there was nothing to be seen... if anything floated away it was the cameras which cut to some other shot, and then rolled the credits. I couldn't believe I waited 2 hours for that! There was no spectacular dive of death, like they had hyped up... It was just a big hoax! Shame on you ABC and especially shame on you David Blaine for waisting my time! the Central Park audience didn't seem too happy either. It'll be interesting to read opinions about this tomorrow!
