  • "David Blaine seeks new endurance record as Librarian" He's been buried alive, frozen in ice and thrown into a volcano. But now David Blaine faces a new challenge, one never attempted by any magician. Because they are too scared. Beginning Tuesday, Blaine will report for shelving duty at the Mitford Public Library, outside Chepstow, Wales. He will reshelve materials in the humanities and social science section for twenty solid days. Amazingly he will also be responsible for alphabetizing the magazine section, handling requests for issues and restoring the chairs to their circular arrangement. "The magazines I'm a little worried about" said Blaine. "the patrons show no familiarity with the Dewey system at all. And they like to put the Popular Science in between copies of Badgers Monthly". To train for this endurance feat, Blaine went through a ten-day practice gauntlet where a daily crowd of unruly readers surrounded him, yelling out the magazine issues they want. Blaine has even trained in the dark and claims that he can tell copies of "The Stoat Reader" by feel alone.
