Illusionist/magician/crazy man David Blaine began his latest stunt this morning at 8:30am (September 22, 2008) in Central Park.
Blaine, 35, will hang upside down over the park’s Wollmann ice rink for 60 hours called the “Dive of Death,” which ends Wednesday at 11pm.
“This is the most difficult for sure. The others, you could get into them soon after the start, but this one is tough from the get-go,” Blaine said after being lowered to head level for an interview.
His previous stunts include 72 hours encased in ice, 44 days without food in a plexiglass box, a week under water, and been buried alive.
Blaine is being held up by a wire attached to his torso and two clips on his boots also linked to the wire and he will endure the entire stunt without eating or sleeping.
A two-hour primetime special will air on ABC from 9-11pm and will show Blaine’s descent from his upside down position.
This guy has way too much time on his hands.
