I have no idea :P

Why David Blaine says that the idea for this latest feat was sparked when he received a gift of a butterfly, framed in clear plastic. "I thought it would be amazing to see a human being framed in a glass case", he said. But Blaine is also motivated by the possibility of pushing our perceived boundaries, saying: "We are all capable of infinitely more than we believe. We are stronger and more resourceful than we know, and we can endure much more than we think we can. In truth, the only restrictions on our capacity to astonish ourselves and each other are imposed by our own minds." In the week before he entered the pod, the illusionist stated that "it'll be triumphant for a human being to survive this". Blaine feels the risks are worth taking: "I think it is worth it for my art even if I drop dead."

The Preparation Blaine claims that his only preparation has been to eat more in an attempt to gain weight, hopefully increasing the body's supply of essential glycogen and delaying it from starting to break down its own muscle tissue. But the illusionist has not gained as much as he might have done, since when he originally planned the feat he intended to mix glucose with his water supply. Currently weighing in at around 200lb, Blaine anticipates losing some 40lb during the feat of endurance. Inside Once inside the box, David's main challenge will be psychological: staying focused on his goal in the face of starvation and the absence of any interaction or mental stimulation. But Blaine says he doesn't expect to get bored. Instead he'll "start to focus on the smallest things, like breathing." One technique he'll use to keep himself occupied is to imagine he's building a house, piece by piece. In fact, the illusionist believes he'll experience a higher spiritual state and that living without food and human contact will lead to "the purest state you can be in". However, he has also said that he expects to start losing his mind during the final stages of his attempt, "days 30 to 44 will be a nightmare".
