On September 5, 2003, Blaine sealed himself in a glass box over the Thames river in London for 44 days and nights. He survived on water during the period.

Over 4,000 people turned out to see Blaine perform his first challenge outside United States.

During the course of the challenge, his website reported that by day 38, Blaine was 'occasionally incoherent and was exhibiting signs of delusion', smelled strongly of sulphur and was longing to take a bath.
