Ginuwine had a scary moment on the set of The CWโs upcoming reality series,ย Criss Angelโs Magic With the Stars.

According to Daily Mail, a video during rehearsal shows the โPonyโ artist in a glass box attempting to hold his breath underwater. He bangs on the glass to signal heโs in danger, then is immediately removed from the stunt and checked by paramedics after losing consciousness. A source told the outlet, โIt all happened so fast, it was like he got tapped out in a fight.โ Thankfully, heโs ok and was able to return to set later in the day.
โHe was conquering a fear,โ Ginuwineโs rep told People. โFortunately, everything is OK, as he was working with Criss Angel, whoโs the best in the business.โ
Despite his incident during rehearsals, Ginuwine performed the stunt for the show and received a positive reaction. Each episode of the series features magician Criss Angel working with two celebrities, who then perform their illusions in front of judges Loni Love, magician Lance Burton and Angel.
Itโs great that Ginuwine is OK, but shouldnโt we draw the line for celebrity competitions at dangerous, life-threatening stunts? Maybe they should just stick to dancing, singing, cooking and sports. Also, is anyone clamoring to watch celebrities perform magic? Magic shows are barely fun when professionals are doing illusions. I donโt need to see former heartthrobs and athletes trying to convince me they made a statue levitate.
Among the other celebrities set to appear on Magic with the Stars are High School Musical alum Corbin Bleu, Black-ishโs Miles Brown, Flavor Flav, Omarion, Real Housewives of Atlantaโs Cynthia Bailey, former NFL player Vernon Davis and former U.S. Olympian Lolo Jones.
Am I supposed to pretend this is a real show? The CW didnโt have room for Naomi, but they found a spot for this?
