Best wishes to the magic man and his new fiancé, French model Alizee Guinochet, who plan on tying the knot soon.
According to sources at the New York Post, the couple was spotted in Central Park over the weekend kissing and showing off two "pre- engagement" gold bands, one with small diamonds.
Blaine was overheard saying he'll get a "real" ring "when the economy improves."
Can't he just make a bigger one appear? Congrats to the happy couple!

Blaine stood in Manhattan's Bryant Park wearing only a T-shirt and slacks in 15 weather and collected coats and signed autographs for fans.
"If you really want to understand why the Coat Drive is important, try standing outside for an hour without a coat," Blaine explained.
When he was asked to do some of his infamous card tricks, he politely refused because his hands were simply too cold.
You don't have to stand around in the cold outdoors to show that you care. Just go through your closet and gather up some old coats (you know you have some!) and donate them to NY Cares Coat Drive. It's going to a good cause and you'll be doing your good deed of the day. Santa will be proud of you.

His overly hyped up "dive of death" stunt came to an end in Central Park, NY and the crowd wasn't exactly happy. He was even booed by onlookers as his crew hoisted him down.
David, 35, originally told the media that he planned to drink through a straw and utilize a catheter. Instead, he was clearly spotted standing upright drinking water and relieving himself during breaks. There goes that illusion.

"About once an hour he has to come down for a medical check, to stretch, and to relieve himself, because even David Blaine can't do that upside down. He has said all along that there will be times when he must get his head above his heart. The doctors told him if he doesn't do that, he will die."
Well then maybe he shouldn't be doing it in the first place!!! Ever thought of that? He can't just say he's doing one thing, and then do the opposite. It really takes away from the "stunt" in the first place. So if you're planning to see him any time today, you might want to check to make sure you don't come on one of his breaks.

Get your motor running for this shiny new show about intrigue involving a high-tech, tricked-out car named KITT (voice of Val Kilmer) and its driver, Mike Tracer (Justin Bruening). A revved-up retread of the 1982-86 TV vehicle of the same name, the series slips into gear tonight with Tracer the racer and KITT delivering a package — but their parcel turns out to be a man with top-secret codes inscribed in his DNA. Tracer's travels turn perilous upon the encroachment of enemies, including an enigmatic lady (Paula Garcés) who has detailed knowledge of a past Tracer can't remember.
Lipstick Jungle @ 10 pm
Tonight's second-season premiere opens with BFFs Wendy, Nico and Victory huddled together and laughing... at a funeral. To find out what's so funny, we have to go back five days. When Charles gives Nico a photo that Kirby took of her, Nico immediately plunges into panic mode and considers telling him about her affair. Wendy is in her own state of panic after she catches her daughter using a fake ID and her mother (Mary Tyler Moore) stops by for a surprise visit. Victory, however, is cool and in control after hiring a publicist (Rosie Perez) to help free her from Joe.
Gary Unmarried @ 8:30pm
Divorce can be a funny thing — or at least it is when it's in Jay Mohr's hands. Playing a painting contractor who has recently parted ways with his spouse, Mohr's Gary Brooks is readjusting to single life. In tonight's series premiere, Gary discovers that simple things like dating have become a bit more challenging, and juggling his ex-wife (Paula Marshall) and kids doesn't help.
David Blaine: Dive of Death @ 9 pm
David Blaine is what Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers would call a "rockinfreakapotamus." Simply put, he does things the rest of us would never consider. This time he's attempting to hang upside down on a wire five stories in the air above New York's Wollman Rink, walking the wire using electromagnetic boots, for three days and nights. There's no safety net. And how is he going to get down? Check the title. Can you imagine what this guy pays for insurance?

Doctors are a little nervous about this stunt, saying Blaine could very well endure a stroke or permanently lose his eyesight. Throughout the 3 days, he will only drink water, and will use the bathroom via a tube. All great reasons to go through with it!
Blaine says, "You'll feel it. The blood gathers in your head. It becomes overwhelming. You start to get a headache. Your eyes start to feel really tight with blood pressure, your extremities start to tingle. Your lungs feel compressed. And it makes it more difficult to breathe. You'll notice that you won't even be able to talk the same way - your voice will be different."
We're assuming my the words "you" and "your," he's talking about himself. Because we don't know any fools crazy enough to do what he's doing!

That's going to cause a huge ruckus in NYC. Where will all the crackheads hide out? That's their turf!
He'll be hanging six stories off the ground on a high wire. David picked Central Park because he knows everyone and their mother will come out to see him, and he feeds off the energy of knowing people are staring at him.
Blaine says, "There are always some crazy things. I get flashed quite often. Luckily, mostly from girls."
The stunt, called Dive of Death, will air on TV on September 24th. Oh yeah, and he can't eat throughout the whole thing. Guy must have a death wish!

Can you imagine? 17 minutes! While Blaine was underwater, he had to stay completely still in order to lower his heart rate and minimize oxygen consumption.
Soooo, congratulations David, but you're still sorta weird!

The current record is sixteen minutes and fourteen seconds. How he plans on beating that, we don't know! Fourteen seconds alone is difficult enough!
On a side note, did you know that Beavers can hold their breath 45 minutes? Yup, learned it from a Snapple cap today.
