CCSC Combats "Study Day"

Scene: a bar on the Upper East Side.

A curly-haired man in his mid-20s approaches a Barnard senior and asks if she's heard of David Blaine. "David and I, we're kind of friends," the man says. He then reveals that he's a magician, and offers to show her a trick. "Sure," she says, at which point the man reaches into his pocket and produces a dark blue velvet pouch.

Realizing that he's for real, the Barnard student brings over her friends to see the spectacle. He places three coins in her hand and closes her fingers over the coins. When she opens her hand, the original coins have transformed into ... different coins. The girls applaud and disperse.

He then asks if the girl wants to go out with him sometime and "see the real magic."

If you're looking for quick 45 minute study break, Bwog wholeheartedy suggests you hop on the 1, head down to Lincoln Center, and check out "magician" David Blaine in his giant water bubble. The plan is to stay submerged for nine days, then get tied up in chains, set a new world record by holding his breath for nine minutes while he breaks out of the chains, and avoid being DROWNED ALIVE. Whatever other kind of drowning there is we don't know.

The man will be on display 24 hours a day through Monday.

And, for all our Gawker Stalkers out there, here's a creepy picture of Courtney Cox and David Arquette leaving after holding up their pink tutu'ed child as an offering to the Blaine himself.
