I'm a big fan of David Blaine, so I'm excited about his new endurance project which he's currently performing (at this moment!) in central park in NYC. Blaine is hanging upside down for 60 hours straight--a feat that has never been attempted before. Supposedly hanging upside down for that long can be very dangerous for your health--eyesight and blood pressure are two potential areas of complication. Read the accompanying article and watch the video link to learn more. The conclusion of the event will be televised this Wednesday at 9m on ABC. Performance art, spectacle, and entertainment all wrapped into one.
BTW, Houdini used to hang upside down while freeing himself from chains, and Blaine frequently references Houdini as one of his heroes.
