Why
David Blaine says that the idea for this latest feat was sparked when he received a gift of a butterfly, framed in clear plastic. "I thought it would be amazing to see a human being framed in a glass case", he said.
But Blaine is also motivated by the possibility of pushing our perceived boundaries, saying:
"We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe. We are stronger and more resourceful than we know, and we can endure much more than we think we can. In truth, the only restrictions on our capacity to astonish ourselves and each other are imposed by our own minds."
In the week before he entered the pod, the illusionist stated that "it'll be triumphant for a human being to survive this".
Blaine feels the risks are worth taking: "I think it is worth it for my art even if I drop dead."
