Magician to endure cheese stunt
A magician is to spend two days encased in a block of cheese in a parody of a stunt by illusionist David Blaine.
The American entertainer spent 62 hours entombed in ice in New York\'s Times Square.
But Noah Kelly plans to undertake his own endurance test by sealing himself into a giant cube of mature cheddar cheese for 48 hours.
Mr Kelly, of Weston-super-Mare, is now in training for the stunt, during which he will not eat or drink.
But the 32-year-old magician said he would not rule out nibbling on the 20-kilo cheese blocks from the inside if the hunger pangs got too much.
This is an endurance test - I\'m not going to wimp out and use a mild cheese
Mr Kelly says David Blaine\'s version of the stunt was too easy. He came up with his alternative in the bath.
He said: "I was thinking how cheesy what he did was and then from there I thought that I could do it surrounded by cheese.
"This is an endurance test and I hope to test my body - I\'m not going to wimp out and use a mild cheese."
Mr Kelly, who once held the world record for building the highest card tower, said he was worried the stunt might put him off cheese for life.
He said: "I love cheese now, but I\'m not quite sure what its going to be like afterwards.

In attempt to copy the recent copycats of magicians lately a phoenix man has decied to incase himself in a room full of naked models for 62 hours.
Mr Cyrus is training for the stunt now wich has been diffucult since the recent closure of all the local sexclubs.
Mr Cyrus has stated " This is an Endurance test and I not gonna wimp out"
Mr Cyrus says David Blaine\'s version and Mr Kellys version of the stunts were too easy. He came up with his alternative while he was in a Fredricks of HollyWood.
Were not sure what exactly the stunt will entall but before My Cyrus entered the chamber it was roomered that he was carrying a case of KY Jelly, 4 12packs of beer and a carton of smokes.

David Blaine had a catheter. These stunts nowadays are a joke. Standing on a pole...standing in ice. oooohhh...titillating. Then there\'s that bullshit with cars jumping gaps. They have all this hype for 10 seconds of excitement you could see at a sunday sunday sunday monster truck rally...if that says anything.
I want to see Siamese twins do a handstand on a high wire across the Grand Canyon in a thunderstorm with golf clubs strapped to their legs.
