Vital Signs

During his stay in The Box, Blaine's isolation means that no doctors will examine him.

The illusionist's only safety check will be a daily urine analysis by his medical team to check for kidney and liver failure.

Blaine claims that the medical team will only intervene if he stops moving completely for two days. However the restrictive size of the box and Blaine's plans to stay still meditating for long periods mean it may be difficult to tell whether he is experiencing difficulty.

Thus by the time any intervention is made, the magician's body could well have sustained serious and permanent damage.

When he is released from The Box, David will be taken directly to hospital where nutritional experts will begin his re-feeding programme and monitor his recovery for approximately one month.
