David Blaine’s plexi-glass home has taken a hammering in the past three days from human launched egg missiles and golf balls as the illusionist is transformed into a major London attraction.

During the weekend large crowds formed as people attempted to catch a glimpse of the American dangling in a 7ft by 7ft by 3ft box next to the Thames.

Blaine has vowed to be suspended in mid-air above Tower Bridge, without food, for 44 days.

Along with the cheers of “Go David” and frantic waving, Blaine has had to endure being woken up early on Sunday morning by drum players. He has also been pelted by eggs and flashed by drunk women.
