David Blaine to go wild for next stunt

David Blaine has announced his next stunt just days after recovering from his stint living underwater.

The illusionist plans to live in the jungle with wild animals – a notch up from previous projects, he says.

"I'm planning to live harmoniously among wild beasts," he told the New York Post. "And I'd like to do it alone in the jungle."

Zoologist Dave Salmoni confirmed the scale of the challenge. "I'd be amazed if he lasted a week in a place like the Sunderbunds," he commented. "After just 24 hours, chances are excellent that Blaine would run across a Bengal tiger – and it would eat him."
