ok, how could it be fake if:
1) it's well within realms of human capability. he did it as some sort of spiritual awakening, not to set a record.
2) though he was high up, he was visible to anyone with binoculars, who could easily tell if he was up there fasting.
3) he bulked up to better get through the fasting. i wouldn't stop eating for 44 days at my current weight without putting on some extra pounds there. no mystery there.
frankly, i don't see anything amazing about this stunt. it's definitely do-able without use of "magic", and its pretty boring on top of that.
"he's an illusionist/magician, so it's fake" come on. offer some evidence if you're going to dispute something that appears authentic. there's no claim that this was a magical stunt. magicians (when performing magic) never claim that they AREN'T doing magic - magic is a selling point. what does this have to do with magic? it's performance art. weird, stupid, pointless, esoteric performance art. it's completely illogical to call this an illusion. would a runner rig up some elaborate, expensive illusion to make it appear that he ran a 4:15 mile when others have already broken a 4:00 mile? no! a 4:15 mile is impressive, but there's no reason to fake it - just like there's no reason to fake 44 days of fasting.
