I went to see him last night, and it was awesome! Here are some pictures I took:
And here's me, my mom, and my uncle with him (Jonathan Bayme, CEO of Theory11, is to the left of my mom's head. I met him too!)

Wow, that's awesome, how is he doing?
By the way, is your dad a mad scientist or something?

Ha ha, read the caption above the last picture. He's my uncle. But read it anyway, because it says something else.
And DB seemed really tired.. he's not sleeping or eating, so he must be exhausted. He didn't talk much.
But what you didn't know might make the stunt seem less impressive (it did for me, anyway). He comes right-side up a coupke times every hour to drink, have his vitals checked, and relieve himself. |

It wasn't Blaine's fault, it was that idiot George Bush. Not kidding, his stupid emergancy broadcast speech thing totally threw off the timing of the stunt.

I don't think so...
Well, I do think that Bush is a moron, but I think it would have been disappointing either way. |

I disagree... the way Blaine described it to happen sounded spectacular. Bush threw off the timing completely on this one.
How about the magic though? A good 75% of the stuff David performed is either coming up soon or already released! He used Quantum Bender for the coin bend effect, The Devil's Bottle for the cap in bottle finale, the new "Compression" to execute the deck vanish, the brand new eXile for the x's drawn on the spectator's hand, Kronos for the coin spinning effect with the four cellphone, and more.
I've even heard word that the Face on Dollar Bill will be released too! Now THAT effect blew me away. I thought he must have been using stooges.
