David Blaine's New Stunt

World famous illusionist David Blaine is already planning a new
mind-boggling act of endurance, our source can exclusively reveal.

The 'street magician' - currently suspended in a glass box over London's
glamorous River Thames - is planning to obtain a Crystal Palace season
Ticket and watch every home match for the rest of the season.

"There's no trickery involved and no way of escape," said Blaine,
speaking exclusively. "For me it's all about pushing the envelope of
human endurance - stretching my tolerance levels to the limit.

"I'm not worried about the first few games, I'm worried about what
happens later, when I'm tired and disorientated and just about ready to
lose my mind."

Blaine claims to have rigorously prepared for the challenge by
undergoing an intensive 30-year programme of not watching Palace.

However, some experts believe Blaine's latest attempt to shock the
public is a step too far.

"There are limits to what a man can put himself through," said official
doctor Hertz van Rental.

"If he does attempt to go a whole season, watching Crystal Palace could
induce serious side-effects such as dementia, hallucinations - one poor
soul once told me he had seen them score a goal. The fact that he will
effectively be in solitary confinement coupled with the eery silence
will only exacerbate these effects"

"It's not big, it's not clever and I don't think we should be
encouraging Mr Blaine."

Palace boss Steve Kember said: "He doesn't fancy a game, does he?

The Palace muppets are used to this kind of thing.

Ade Akinbiyi spent longer than 44 days hanging around in an empty box for loads of cash with nothing to show for it at the end. He amazed onlookers too.

Health experts last night expressed concerns for the welfare of the world famous magician whose latest record breaking stunt continues to arouse controversy.

Leicester born Emile Heskey is attempting to spend a marathon 44 days in a penalty box - without scoring a goal.

Friends and supporters say so far he's making excellent progress. And that's despite the many members of the public who've turned out to taunt him by waving footballs and empty nets. But fears remain for the psychological effects of long-term goal deprivation. "Over weeks and months it can lead
to abuse, frustration and even delusions of grandeur," a psychiatrist told us last night. "Just look at Andy Cole."

Onlookers have also expressed alarm and bewilderment. "He's just nuts," said one spectator. "We thought Teddy Sheringham was foolhardy when he tried never to score in England internationals - but this guy's taking it too
far."

Heskey's latest endeavour is just the latest in a series of outrageous
illusions by the 25 year old entertainer. For the past four years he's
attempted to pass himself off as a high-class professional striker -
successfully convincing football experts including England boss Sven Goran
Eriksson, despite the scepticism of supporters.

The occasional project has ended in failure, with an abortive attempt last
year to spend 35 hours standing on a penalty spot in Manhattan without
falling over. His rise to fame has encouraged other leading footballing
figures to dip their toes in the world of magic.

In August Harry Kewell successfully emulated his namesake Houdini when he
performed a breathtaking escape from a bank vault at Leeds United to join
Liverpool. He'd in turn been inspired by the sensational feat performed by
his former chairman Peter Ridsdale, who wowed the world by miraculously
transforming £70 million transfer fees into no trophies and a flirt with
relegation.

Meanwhile Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier stunned scientists last year
with his revival of the ancient art of reverse alchemy - his secret chemical
formula turning a Champions League spot into UEFA Cup football.

And mysterious events continue at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich has already turned Juan Sebastian Veron and Peter Kenyon from red
to blue. He's now reportedly attempting to prove that - by simply adding
£110million - he can turn the club from Premiership also-rans to, erm,
Premiership also-rans.
