I stopped by a few hours after midnight when there weren't many people watching. He was standing on the platform chatting with a guy for 30 minutes. Was a little bummed that I didn't even see him upside down while I was there.

I headed down last night around 10 and he was hanging probably 6 feet off the ground, talking to people and siging autographs. I got my picture with him, which was pretty cool. There was a huge line and he posed and talked with everyone. Even if you don't like him, it's cool to check out with whole production with the background of Central Park.

The Donald will soon have his own 'hanging engagement' at a service station with his last mistress. Onlookers will even be encouraged to strike the flaccid "Real Estate Il Duce" repeatedly with blunt objects "to see if he went blind".

Just in- Donald Trump is getting ready to attach the Golden Trump letters down Blaine's upside down torso. Condos surely will follow shortly. www.jewssip.com

this is such a con. Blaine looked all red and ready to pass out just by being upside down for ten minutes next to Donald. How is he going to survive 3 days of it? easy. Just like how he does his other tricks. Stunt double. He just gets out at 3 in the moring and switches shifts with a haggard looking dude with bloated makeup prosthetics. Everyone's like "david blaine has amazing physical stamina" while he's in a hidden compartment eating graham crackers and hot cocoa.

Is he dead yet? Is he dead yet?

In case anyone's wondering, in that picture, Blaine is thinking, "Dude, I can see right through to your bald spot." Actually, Trump looks a little demonic in that pic. Was it taken by the same woman who took the pictures of McCain? Of course, he also looks a little like recent William Shatner there.

Trump and Blaine are the greatest and most amazing human beings on Earth. They have more greatness in their pinky fingers than all the commenters here combined, including me.

Wollman Rink will be torn down for more condos? Link please.

I'm totally rooting against him.

Is this just a stunt to introduce Trump's new condo hotel located at the soon to be torn down Wollman Rink?

This picture looks like it is upside down. Donald Trump's head/face look like it's about to blow, and his hair is stapled to his head that's why it's not hanging.

This guy is getting tedious.

I really don't think the biker look works well with the Donald. The guy needs a haircut.

@ #1, Donald or Blaine? I feel like Trumps head always looks like it'll explode due to a collar and necktie not suited for...people without necks.

His head WON'T explode? Dang.

This is so boring. An escape artist or magician is interesting because they DO things, this guy just puts himself in unpleasant situations for a really long time. Who cares?

Donald, I think it's time to shave your head.

I'd rather watch Trump hang upside down. I'm interested in the effects of gravity on an inverted combover.

It looks like his head is already about to explode.
