After an epic upside-down FAIL during his last stunt, it's nice to see David Blaine will be putting away the bells and whistles and doing some of his regular street magic this afternoon. CITYarts, a non-profit public art organization in New York, informs us that they'll be holding a ribbon cutting ceremony at 3:30 p.m. today to celebrate the restoration of the 36-year-old mosaic benches around Grant's Tomb in Morningside Heights (located at Riverside Drive and West 122nd Street). Blaine, allegedly a fan of the benches, will be on hand "doing magic for the kids," and all are invited to attend!
