Body Endurance Vs. Illusion

[StevenLevitt]

Here is one example:

David Blaine being in a glass box for 48 days.

What he is doing, is it an body endurance task, or is it simply an illusion? - How should it be viewed?

Theres a topic like this already posted.
If he was really in there(which he was) how can it be illusion?
He himself called it an endurance test.

But he was in there without food, which is defeats the possible - Therefore can be considered an illusion.

well he really was up there for 44 days but Daniel Madison is doing the same thing right now he is on day 36 so it is posible

no its just training. thats like saying going through several Gs of force in fighter planes are illusions. and the average human can survive a month with out food (but with water)

Ok another question. If anyone can just train to do it, why do people do it, or why do people watch it?

i think some people just want to be remember as some one. Others just want to prove it to them selves. Ive heard people say the feel the most alive when they are risking there life. You wouldn't really know unless you do it I guess.
