David Blaine has revealed the details of his upcoming stunt.
The illusionist will bound into a spread-eagle position in a gyroscope which will be dangled above Time Square in New York. He will be spun in the gyroscope for two days, before he attempts to break free from his binds.
The giant structure will be spun around eight times per minute for the duration of the two days. Blaine will also have to cope with the natural weather in the square, as the gyroscope provides no shelter to his body.
He commented: "Just to make it more difficult on myself, I added a motor (to the gyroscope), so even when I'm sleeping there'll be continuous movement… I think I'm going to have to stay awake the whole time."
However, Blaine is not daunted, and is even looking forward to it: "This one's exciting for me. This one's a fun one."
