Magician David Blaine is having fellow prestidigitators — not just plain everyday garden-variety wackos — hunting worldwide way-out sickos, stickos, freakos and ickies. I mean, aside from politicians.
It’s for his future National Geographic program on crazies. Nut cases. The six-part series? “David Blaine: Do Not Attempt.”
Magic-makers are scratching around for nut cases everywhere. So far he’s ignored Delaware. Also possibly the underwear drawer of New Jersey’s old, ex, now unused, jailbound, chunky former Sen. Menendez — may his tripe decrease.
Blaine: “I’m inspired by the impossible. What you’d assume can not be done.” [Like besides Hunter walking free.]
“You’d assume this kind of stuff deals with tricks. No. Really real. Stuff you should not do and anything can go wrong.”
So, yeah. So like what? Like Mayor Adams being assistant to the Angel Gabriel?
“No. Like covering myself in bees and scorpions. Swimming under arctic ice. Kissing a cobra — the snake not the car.”
It’s March 23. Imagine Entertainment. Put on two TV sets because you’ll be looking away from one.
Wait. Another nice thing.
“Flight Risk” stars a bald Mark Wahlberg who — in person — said he likes working with its director Mel Gibson. “I was a huge fan of ‘Braveheart,’ ‘Apocalypto,’ ‘Passion of the Christ,’ ” he said. “Mel’s one of the most talented filmmakers out there.”
OK. Pay attention. In 2006, Gibson was quoted publicly, widely, for vicious antisemitic remarks.
The Jewish Federation, Anti-Defamation League, everyone requested an apology.
Terrified his career would unravel — and how many A1 blockbusters has he led recently? — Gibson cranked out some quickie apology/mumble. He later managed another “sorry . . . sorry” to the Jews.
In 2020, trade newspaper Variety asked in print: “How does Mel Gibson still have a career?”
And today? Campus protests also now experience religious hostility. So the future of this greatest city in captivity is what? Soon only Presbyterians will be allowed on the IRT?
Wait. Wanting this to be a nice sweet column for you, pay attention.
You’ve heard the controversy about how David Muir used clothespins to tighten his coat so he looked more fit during LA fire coverage. OK?

He pulls and pushes to work on that bod at Equinox Sports Club. Columbus Ave. Huff and puff on stuff to look buff. He hits Floor 3, sweating in workouts and lifting.
And bring a clothespin for your nose, if you wander near him after a workout . . . I’m told Equinox’s new shower body wash doesn’t work well.
The employment situation is becoming difficult in NYC. One longtime housekeeper quit. Pregnant. Rather than lose her, the lady of the house adopted the child. This happened on three different occasions. Help’s been hard to get.
When the lady OK’d adopting Child 3, the housekeeper replied: “Oh, no, not me. I won’t work for any family that has three children.”
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
