David Blaine To Spin For The Salvation Army

David Blaine?s latest stunt will kick off tomorrow; in partnership with Target and the Salvation Army the illusionist will be attempting to escape from shackles after spending two days in a spinning gyroscope that will be suspended 50ft above New York.

Tomorrow, Blaine will be locked, spread eagled in the gyroscope that will be set spinning for two whole days; then on Thursday he will attempt to escape.

Blaine will not eat or drink for the two days he is spinning; because of the constant spinning he may also have to stay awake for 48 hours straight.

He said of the stunt: "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,"

"This one's exciting for me. This one's a fun one,"

If Blaine successfully completes his mission, 100 needy children will recieve a Christmas present to remember.

Let?s just hope he doesn?t throw up in the damn thing!
