Agasi Vartanyan got on-up on David Blaine, and he's not happy. Agasi has been sitting in a plastic cube on the banks of the Neva River near St Petersburg, Russia, for 50 days. Yes folks, 50 days of nothing but water, radio, tv, and talking on his cellphone.
Covered only by a few local newspapers, Agasi is upset that the world media didn't flock to his location to take this inspiring and dramatic event to readers and viewers around the world.
Upon leaving his cube, Agasi promptly hopped in a waiting car and drive himself off..
" I feel offended because my efforts did not attract much attention, only local media wrote about it.."
Agasi, who weighed only 72kg at the end of his fast, lost a reported 23kg during his attempt at fame.
He admits being inspired by David Blaine, who spent 44 days suspended inside a plexiglass cubicle above the Thames River in 2003.
I've heard through the grapevine that Agasi intends to visit New York in the Spring, and attempt to walk from Time Square to Malibu Beach in California, just as his idol did in the nineties, wowing couples, kids, the homeless, inmates, and gangstas alike with his unique style of magic...
