David Blaine Upside Down In Central Park (Video)
David Blaine’s latest stunt, which involves him hanging upside down for 60 hours, have some people calling him a cheat.
One eyewitness photographed the 35-year-old magician standing upright on September 23, while another reported Blaine had been taking breaks by standing up about three times an hour.
Blaine’s representative said he never intended to stay upside down for 60 consecutive hours. Since all the blood rushing to his head could kill him, he must come down once an hour for a medical check and to stretch. Doctors told the illusionist he must make sure to lift his head above his heart every once in a while.
Blaine is “hanging out” above Central Park’s Wollman ice skating rink in New York City. The spectacle is set to conclude in an ABC television special on September 24th, when Blaine takes what he calls the “Dive of Death” and falls 44 feet to the ground.
