Now you see it... Our friends over at the Nextbook blog link to a New York Times story about magician David Blaine who, beginning next erev Shabbat, will dangle himself from the famed London Bridge for 44 days. As the article points out: "The idea also seems to come from a personal obsession with human endurance and the Holocaust. Mr. Blaine, who is Jewish, keeps dozens of copies of Primo Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz" in his apartment, along with books on Einstein, magic and logic puzzles. His walls are filled with pictures of other magicians and celebrities (the Clintons, Orson Welles), and a giant poster of Houdini is affixed to his office ceiling." What, no rebbe pictures?
