David Blaine

David Blaine is an illusionist who once attempted to spend two weeks in a bubble filed with 2000 gallons of salt water, thus proving that mankind is capable of watching anything.

When Stephen saw the giant ball of water with Blaine inside during his lunch near Lincoln Center on May 2, 2006 it scared the bejeesus out of him, proving much more frightening in person than all the times he had dreamed about it.
