David Blaine Wants Fans to Come Hang With Him

2008_09_blaine.jpgIllusionist David Blaine is looking for your support when he suspends himself to a cable with magnetic boots upside-down above Wollman Rink for three days next week. In today's NY Daily News, he revealed more details about the stunt including that doctors will check on him every few hours, a cherry-picker will lift visitors to his level and he will urinate through a catheter. Blaine has been practicing by hanging upside-down with gravity boots at a private gym in the Flatiron district. The longest he's gone thus far is eight hours. Next week he'll try to do it without any sleep for sixty. Blaine told the News that he's fine with criticism, but gets upset when "people think it's an elaborate hologram."

Yes.
We can get a pretty large, angry mob to hang him.
After he stops twitching, we can hang around and party.
