Sunday Supplement: Blaine to Blame for Vanishing Midwives?

Health chief across the NHS held emergency talks this week, when it became apparent there were more and more cases of fathers to be having to deliver their own babies.

The evidence is stacking up against the American magician David Blaine - the latest incident in Blackburn saw a father-to-be witness his wife's midwife vanish before his eyes - Blaine was appearing at a local theatre just yards away; in Liverpool, the same happened to a young woman giving birth in the street, attended by an off duty midwife - Blaine was working the local shopping centre, and, sure enough - the off duty midwife disappeared before the baby popped into the world. Passers by on that occasion finished off, a paramedic unit luckily appearing within a few minutes - adding to the speculation that for every disappearance, an appearance also takes place and in most cases, the people concerned are swapped with each other.

Experts are convinced that Blaine is unaware of the catastophe and confusion he is causing, especially in the case of the midwife who was swapped with a taxidermist.
