DOAKS

David Blaine is hanging. Nothing to be alarmed about. He did this on his own. Blaine is Jewish. In fact, he even has a tattoo with the Auschwitz number of author Primo Levi.

Anyways, I just wanted to say that it’s good Blaine is not wearing a Yarmulke during his most recent stunt. Why? Because it would undoubtedly fall off his head, whilst being suspended upside down. (That’s why I haven’t performed this stunt myself!)

Even if he’d secure the Kippah with magnets, it would be a distraction. Naysayers would use this as further evidence that he is cheating. And perhaps the Kippahs would get a bad rap….

In a future post, I will elaborate on the various methods to getting a Kippah to stay on ones head.

Btw, with Blaine’s extreme tolerance for pain, I wouldn’t be surprised if he gives Orthodox Judaism a shot…
