He's a really good magician. Anyone ever see his street magic special on TV? Incredible stuff.

Don't leave us hanging.  How did he do it?

Sorry, can't remember the exact details, but it involved a secret opening in a block which was not all solid ice, and the use of a double while he ate and slept, etc.  The temperature inside the block was actually quite warm.  :)

I can think of many other magicians I'd rather see locked in a box for 44 days without food. That Copperfield fella for one, or Paul Daniels. In their case I'd make it more 'magical' and remove the water and air holes ;)

lol Trikky. Paul Daniels would get my vote. Although he is quite funny in the person. :)
