In 2003, David Blaine lived in a transparent case suspended 30 feet in the air on the south bank of the River Thames for 44 days, apparently without any food or sleep. His only nourishment was provided by a tube which carried water into the case. A webcam was installed in the box so that viewers could keep a close eye on Blaine. When he emerged from the box on October 19, 2003, after 44 days, he was whisked away to a hospital where he was put on liquid food until his body was deemed ready for solids. Some skeptics have suggested that Blaine may have received glucose supplements through the tube which was supposed to provide only water. The doctors who examined him after the stunt, however, refute this.
