Flash-mob to target Blaine tonight | |
David Blaine is to be flash-mobbed tonight as he enters his final week in a perspex box at Tower Bridge.
Organisers of the Flashblaine event, which is due to run for just three minutes, say they hope to create the biggest flash-mob in the world.
They want people to sound their mobile phone ringtones together at exactly 7.44pm and then chant "what goes up, must come down" at Blaine.
The flash-mobbers are then being asked to laugh manically and hold an item of food in the air.
Flash-mobbing is a US-born phenomena in which hundreds of people spontaneously arrive at a designated area and carry out short, random acts.
Details of the London event were posted on a website over the weekend.
Organiser Peter Bowles hopes Flashblaine will break all previous records.
He said: "The coverage has been huge - our flash mob has already generated a huge amount of interest - I've had to do interviews from Dublin to Illinois, with press in Brazil to Russia covering our event." |
