LET'S SAY A MAGICIAN decides to spend 44 days with no food, all while encased in a transparent box suspended over the Thames. Whether this represents a wise decision or not is a separate matter. But what would the response of the local townspeople be? Well, if the town happens to be London - and in this case it is - then it would apparently be to regularly throw eggs at his box in an attempt to dislodge him, taunt him with the smell of fish and chips, and beat a drum underneath to wake him up while he is sleeping. ("We were watching him at home on TV and it was really dull so we thought we would come down and liven things up. I wanted to wake him up,'' the drummer told London's Evening Standard.) So much for London hospitality - betcha the tourist board is going to have a field day with this.
