David Blaine - Upside Down from GammaBlog on Vimeo.
Blaine is amazing in his willingness to, literally, put himself in such strange positions. He looks so vulnerable here, even surrounded by security. He takes ten minutes per hour upright to get medically checked and pee. The park closes between 1 and 6AM. Who keeps an eye on what is going on then? But even with the breaks this stunt looks extremely uncomfortable, and yes dangerous to his health. Like a boxer, his career involves injury to his body. I hope his special tonight involves more street magic than his last one did. I like the guy.

I love the white ‘floaty’ arrows you have deployed!
Interesting how on his website he is always referred to as ‘David Blaine’ and never just ‘David’ or ‘Blaine’?
Yes eddie, I deployed them like medieval archers shooting at Mel Gibson.
It’s magic?!
He was quoted in article as saying this was most uncomfortable position/stunt he’s done so far…
I’m always a bit concerned about him, about how all these things he does to his body/mind will affect him…Ah well, it’s his choice…
