David Blaine: Vertigo

In Vertigo, Blaine is lifted by a crane onto a 30m tall, 55cm wide pillar in New York City’s Bryant Park. He wears no harness and has no safety net to protect him from the concrete below. After standing on the pillar for 36 hours, Blaine ends the feat by jumping off in front of 50,000 live spectators and landing on a layer of cardboard boxes. This special also includes Blaine’s close-up magic, such as refilling and resealing a crushed, empty beer can with beer by just tapping it with his fingertips. Blaine also reaches his arm through a jewelry store’s glass window and grabs a watch from the display case without breaking the glass.
