David Blaine performed such a horrific, gory illusion at a taping of Carson Daly\'s late-night show, NBC was considering canceling the segment. \"Oh God, it was so gross - David pulled his beating heart out of his chest, put it back in, and then collapsed,\" said one spy at the taping. \"He had to be carried off the stage by some helpers. Some girls in the audience ran out crying and screaming, while Carson just stood there stunned and they blacked out the stage.\"

his heart looks....strange...looks more like a kidney to me. of course it could just be my comp...

The \"trick\" looked indeed stupid. How could anyone reach the hand underneath the skin that easily? How can the heart be pulled out at chest level? And why doesn\'t he bleed like a stuck pig doing so, because of disconnecting his veins from his heart? etc.? etc.?

Because it is an illusion. He obviously couldn\'t pull his own heart out, put it back in, and survive.

I belive it\'s a bit impossible for a heart to look like a kidney, THIS is somewhat of a heart, his so called \"Heart\" is cube like.

O_o.....
well....that was strange....
by the time he ripped his heart out his body would n\'t he be gushing blood like a friggen geyser...and you can\'t rip open your flesh that easily. Pretty neat for a trick though.
