David Blaine Is Going to Hang for This

Pictured above, mentally (ill)usionist David Blaine is hoisted by crane 40 feet above the ground while demonstrating his latest stunt in New York November 17, 2006.

In his never ending quest to torture himself until he dies, and in his latest stunt, U.S. magician David Blaine will be shackled to a spinning gyroscope hanging some three stories above Times Square as he tries to escape before a three day deadline.

The 33-year-old, whose previous stunts include 61 hours encased in a block of ice and one week buried in a coffin, will be hoisted 40 feet above the ground just off New York’s Times Square on Tuesday.

Blaine will be secured in a three-ringed gyroscope spinning continuously in all directions and retailer Target Corp. has challenged the magician to escape from his position by 5 a.m. Friday.

"There will be no barriers to protect him from elements like wind, rain, snow or freezing temperatures," Target said.

If he succeeds, Blaine will then accompany 100 families chosen by The Salvation Army on a shopping spree at Target. The department store said it will give each family a $500 giftcard if Blaine completes the challenge.

Other stunts Blaine has done include a week living underwater in a clear sphere and 44 days in a box suspended over the River Thames in London.

"This is my chance to give back to The Salvation Army and to benefit other families," Blaine said in a statement. "It’s my goal not only to successfully complete this challenge, but to help give others an extraordinary holiday season."

David Copperfield to Impregnate Women on Stage

Illusionist David Copperfield is planning to go one better than rival David Blaine by impregnating a woman live onstage. The magician will carry out the stunt in Germany, without – he insists – even touching the volunteer. Copperfield told PageSix.com, “There is a great deal of new territory to conquer. I’m going to make a girl pregnant. Naturally there will be no sex. “Everybody will be happy about it, but I’m not telling you any more.”

What Copperfield doesn’t realize is that Michael Jackson has already performed impregnation without sex several times, and he’s not even a magician.

David Blaine Not Drowned Alive

David Blaine’s official time for holding his breath underwater is seven minutes and eight seconds. Although this does not break the time spent holding your breath record, he does set a record for the amount of time spent in the water. His skin may have mostly peeled off, which may cause him a lot of problems. David was complaining of severe pain in one of his ears, which is most likely from either an infection, or something in his ear is falling apart like his skin.

I think he was crazy to put himself through all this. David may have permanent damage as a result of this stunt. Now we have to see if he recovers successfully.

David does inspire a lot of people to do things they didn’t believe they could, and on that note he succeeds every time. Here’s what David said after finishing:

“I am humbled so much by the support of everybody from NYC and from all of the world. This was a very difficult week, but you all made it fly by with your strong spirit and energy. Thank you so much everybody. Thank you all and I love you all.”

"Despite not getting the record, it is an incredible record to spend that time in the sphere…"

David Blaine in Bad Shape

David Blaine says he’s in “pretty bad shape” as he nears the end of his latest feat, a week in an aquarium, but vowed to go through with his finale of holding his breath underwater for nearly 9 minutes.

The 33-year-old magician, wearing a diving helmet that allows two-way communication, has been submerged in the 8-foot snow globe-like acrylic sphere since last Monday.

“Everything is still on as planned, and I’m going to give it my best shot,” Blaine said Sunday from his perch on the plaza of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as spectators gawked and waved at him.

Blaine’s finale was to be aired live in a two-hour ABC special, “David Blaine: Drowned Alive,” starting at 8 p.m. EDT Monday.

He told AP Television News he “will do his best” to complete the feat despite peeling skin, sharp pains in his joints and a severe earache.

The stunt artist planned to put on 150 pounds of chains and handcuffs, remove his oxygen tube and then escape while holding his breath longer than the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds.

“If I don’t get out of the chains and I black out in 9 minutes, which is about the length of time it would take these guys here (who) have been preparing a stretcher to pull my body out and do what they have to do, so I have to have faith that they know what they are doing,” Blaine said.

He said he was suffering “sharp, shooting pains in every part of my body.” Doctors have been monitoring his condition.

Blaine started training in December, with some help from Navy SEALS. He lost 50 pounds so his body would require less oxygen.

He has been fed and, uh, relieving himself by tubes.

Blaine’s previous feats included balancing on a 22-inch circular platform atop a 100-foot pole for 35 hours; being buried alive in a see-through coffin for a week; and surviving inside a massive block of ice for 61 hours, all of which were performed in New York. In 2003, he fasted for 44 days in a suspended acrylic box over the Thames River in London.

Blaine might really die.  His girlfriend should have married him before this stunt, at least then she’d be rich, unless he’s got her in his will.
