David Blaine unveils latest stunt in NYC

David Blaine has unveiled the details of his latest stunt, set to begin this Tuesday, November 21st at 10 am. The famous illusionist will dangle from a hook five stories above Times Square while shackled to a spinning gyroscope.

The Gyroscope, with Blaine strapped tight to it, spread-eagle, will spin 8 times every minute, for 2 days. On top of that there will be little to shelter the magician from the cold weather. After 2 days of non stop spinning, and braving through the cold winter weather, Blaine must release himself of the shackles.

Target has challenged Blaine to escape the stunt, by 5 a.m. Friday Morning. If he does so, he will accompany 100 children from the salvation army, to a shopping spree at Target, each family will receive a $500 gift card. We will definitely have pictures of the event as it unfolds, so stay tuned.
