I don't deny the guy has talent. Or in some cases maybe just a lot of will power. His "magic" tricks are definitely cool, and I have no idea how he accomplishes the illusions.
But he's just so full of himself. And everything he does is always in some public space, so that the people who live in the city where the stunt is can't really avoid it. I expect him to say each time he announces some new spectacle, "I won't be ignored!"
I mean, if what he's doing really has value, rent some space and charge admission. If people really want to see you, they'll pay for the privilege. And all the people who live and work near the "event" who don't really care to be a part of it don't have to. He's bound to have sponsors who pay the bills for these stunts, and he clearly knows that if he had to rely on people actually paying to watch, it wouldn't pay for itself.

Yeah, well, we ignored him - didn't even know about that fall stunt last night until it was over. Heh heh heh to David!

That is how much he annoys me. Great blog.
