The Box

David Blaine will inhabit a plexi-glass box just two and a half feet wide and six feet four inches tall. Two tubes, one to supply water the other to remove urine, will be his only connection to the outside world. Apart from these tubes and Blaine himself, the box will contain the following items:

- Diapers. Until his body has cleared its solid waste, the magician will use diapers for his toilet needs. After this he will need only his urine tube.

- A journal and pens. Blaine intends to keep a diary while inside the box. There won't be much else to do!

- Lip balm. "I've done these kind of things before," says David, "and I know how annoying it is to get chapped lips."

- Pillow and a pad to lie down on.

There will be no temperature control inside The Box, despite the likelihood of cold weather. Thus one of the magician's main problems will be staying warm, especially since the body retains only a third of its normal heat when in starvation mode.
