Not likely: BBC News - David Blaine unveils shocking feat of endurance

I don't really see what kind of a test this is. We know that a faraday cage is perfectly safe so while this will visually be more impressive, it's far less a challenge than sitting in a box or on a pole for a long time.

The best thing about it is that, although the whole thing is basic O Level Physics, that's still some way beyond the scientific knowledge of the showbiz journalists who'll be told to cover it

Good comment on Twitter: "You don't understand. It's not that David Blaine is trapped in a cage with electricity; it's that we're trapped on Earth with him."
