David Blaine Gives Birth (no, not really, that would involve real magic)



New York Post - Magician David Blaine and his pregnant fiancée, Alizee Guinochet, had to hitch a ride to the hospital on a snow plow after she went into labor and Blaine couldn't make a cab appear during the blizzard. Guinochet, a 24-year-old French model, went into labor last Wednesday night, just as another heavy storm crippled the city with 19 inches of snow. When Guinochet started to have contractions, illusionist Blaine, 37, jumped into action, heading out of his Village apartment, hoping to conjure up a cab. But none appeared. "The doorman and people on the street tried to help him flag down a taxi. But there were absolutely no cars on the road," said a source. 


So the guy can levitate, live under water for days at a time like some kind of odd fetus-man, and control his core body temperature while trapped inside a block of ice, but he can't hail a cab in New York?  Seems weak bro.  What are you even doing taking a cab anyway? All that TV special money and you don't have a driver? Or at least a own a car.


All joking aside, how long until David Blaine gets the magic itch again and pulls the oldest but most classic magic trick of them all, The Disappearing Dad.  Could be his greatest feat yet.
