Day 6 - Blaine: tough times ahead
David Blaine has been looking forward to completing his endurance challenge as he enters his sixth day in the box.
The illusionist this morning calculated that he had so far completed one-seventh of his challenge. Though it may be affecting his waistline, it seems that hunger is not yet compromising his arithmetical abilities.
Blaine also estimated that he had so far lost around 10lb in weight. If correct, this represents around one-fifth of the total he is expected to lose by the end of the challenge.
But while pleased to have got this far, the magician this morning reiterated his view, stated before he entered the box, that the toughest times lay ahead. Blaine said, "I still predict that the really crazy part, the part that you really want to watch, will be day 32 to the end".
There have also been indications this morning that hunger and isolation are affecting the illusionist's state of mind. At around 11am Blaine spoke to the camera in his box, saying, "You know what is weird? I hear distinct voices of people I know speaking to me. Obviously they're not, but I hear it in my ear... it's very real."
Before Blaine began the challenge, psychologists predicted that the magician would begin to hallucinate while inside the box. Speaking more bluntly, Blaine said "I'll start losing my mind".
