On 5 September 2003 David Blaine entered a Perspex box suspended above Tower Bridge. He emerged 44 days later having survived solely on water. 250,000 people came to see him during this time, and millions more watched the live webcam and TV coverage. This fascinating and beautifully designed book includes a facsimile of the journal he wrote over the 44 days - a frank, intelligent and idiosyncratic document that shows David Blaine's state of mind, day by day. It includes his thoughts on his previous stunts, ideas for new stunts, inspirational thoughts and ideas, stories, drawings, lists of the food he would like to eat when he got out, his feelings about his fans and how they helped him through, and detailed descriptions of his physical and mental state. David Blaine has plans for further amazing stunts and extraordinary feats for 2004, and accounts of these events will make up the second half of the book. With full colour photographs, newspaper cuttings, and much more unique and exclusive material, this will be a fascinating and inspiring book from a true icon of our time, and a tantalising glimpse into the mind of this 'mysterious stranger'...
