Blaine Stunt Central Park

David Blaine has officially completed his latest stunt of hanging upside-down without a net for over 60 hours. Here’s the catch, everyone who went to watch Blaine perform his stunt was disappointed because David kept taking breaks throughout.

Can you blame the guy for taking breaks??? He could have gone blind, or even died from being upside-down for that long. I mean, he was physically dangling from a wire over the Central Park skating rink and described his experience as his “head was about to explode.” And, people were pissed??? I’m just glad he made it. I know when I’m in headstand pose in yoga for five minutes, I am light headed and feel like passing out…imagine what being held by a wire upside-down would feel like.

Nice work David. People just need to lighten up and understand you’re a performer and not Superman.

    Doctors expect his testicles to drop back down within a month.

    While he dodged blindness and even death, his testicles are now wedged between his liver and his intestines.

    If he called it what it really is — performance art – instead of “magic” then people might be a little less annoyed.
