Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Illusionist David Blaine reportedly intends to try hanging upside-down for 60 hours over New York's Wollman Rink as his next stunt.
The 35-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y., native has been training for about a month and is to begin his endurance test Monday, the New York Daily News reported.
"For most people, it's hard to hang (upside-down) for more than 15 minutes," California inversion therapist Anthony Cardenas told the newspaper. "It's extreme. ... I guess he's doing it for glory and fame."
"His head is not going to explode, but it could cause some problems with the blood flow to his brain," added Washington physician Michael Friedman. "I wouldn't do it, and I wouldn't counsel anyone else to do it."
Blaine is said to be monitored by doctors as he prepares for the event.
"This is a lot more difficult than it looks," he told the Sunday Daily News.
Blaine previously has spent 63 hours enclosed in a block of ice in New York and 44 days without food in a glass cube dangling over the River Thames in London.
