David Blaine will attempt to soar in the sky by holding onto balloons during his first stunt in almost a decade.
In a set-up reminiscent of the Pixar film Up, Blaine will – if the stunt is successful – fly from New Jersey to New York City.
Back in 2012, Blaine performed a 73-hour stunt called “Electrified”, in which he stood on a 20-foot-high pillar in New York City while being subjected to a one-million-volt electric current via tesla coils.
Let’s turn worry into wonder and take magic to new heights,” Blaine tweeted in the announcement.
