they said it was live, but it was actually recorded a couple of hours before hand (according to the bbc news anyway) - so we all knew fine well channel 4 wouldnt of shown a man blowing his head off on tv.

Yet it was still nerve racking to watch... I couldnt sit still.

I did come to the idea that he might blow is head off on tv, but in actual fact it was only a stunt and then there would be mystery sourrounding wheter or not he was dead... bit like david blaine and his ear, but rather more exciting.

[Aaron]

no need to be like that!

Who's that to?

Yet it was still nerve racking to watch... I couldnt sit still.

that 90 secs after he got it wrong and was just staring was so nervous to watch..

I seriously thought he was just going to burst out into tears...

[Uglybob]

is david blaine still in that god damn box, who really cares anyway. a lot of people at work say why cant someone just go down at 3am and shoot the bastard.

[Uglybob]

i have series 2 sitting here, but i cant find the plug for the dvd player aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhh

[Aaron]

to you

The Chamber 5, I believe, was more for effect. It was just too add some drama, otherwise it would have been so quick. This way it was far more emotive to watch. But I didn't get that bothered, people just aren't allowed to show that on tv live.

maybe that could be Derrens next stunt. Live Russian Roulette on David Blaine.

I was just justifying to mcqueen why I thought Derren had got it wrong and wasn't building tension. As MC said, he was almost in tears during that 90 seconds.

[Aaron]

that would be pretty funny!

surely a combination of the 2 tricks would work

have derren brown firing a loaded gun at Blaine's box, but in this case trying to pick the chamber the bullet is actually in....

(note: I know david's beaten me to this post but I can't delete it)

[David]

gives me a thought, i wonder if his glass is bullet proof?

[Aaron]

it should be if they knew what the british public are like before hand

[Moz]

Isn't it perspex anyway. Is that just as tough as bullet proof glass?

[Dickie]

what chamber was it in, i bottled it, couldnt watch at all

Because @ 9:50pm on a Sunday someone was going to kill themselves on live TV.

[Aaron]

and why have you replyed with that dickie?

[Mcqueen_]

Well, he thought it was in number 5. So technically he failed, but still lived.

You think? You sure he didn't fire 5 to make you think he'd got it wrong so was taking a bigger risk carrying on, building the tension?

No, he got it wrong and was wondering what the hell he was going to do next.

So him firing 5 to make you think he'd got it wrong worked.

i think he was trying to be sarcastic

[Mcqueen_]

Well i didn't think he was trying to be sarcastic.

[Moz]

He had it narrowed down to 5 or 1. He thought it was 5, wondered how no bullet coming out would affect his career, then just rushed through the rest to get it over with.

[Sidders]

Not really, he said he wouldn't fire if he wasn't 100% sure, so he just skipped 5. It was still 50/50 as to wether or not he got shot, not a risk I'd like to take.

[Moz]

Yeah, I wouldn't have liked to fire one chamber of a gun at my head never mind all five, so he's a braver man than I.

He might be on the show today, though it's yet to be confirmed.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

cant believe i missed the start of never mind the buzzcocks for that. i actually said number 5 when he put it in. i was wrong like derren (who looks less weird now).
