NYU students, looking for something to do between classes? How about going down to Central Park to watch David Blaine hang upside down for 60 hours? Let me explain.

David Blaine is a ridiculous-ass person. He’s not so much a magician anymore (although a certain YouTube video does give an accurate recounting of his street magic days), instead he’s more of a “daredevil.” And by “daredevil” I mean a ****ing idiot. He routinely performs stunts that no human being should ever attempt, including being frozen in a block of ice for 60 hours, standing on a 22-in wide, 90 ft tall pillar for 35 hours, and being suspended in an elevated glass box for 44 days. Oh and don’t forget when he was buried alive, a stunt that Harry Houdini’s niece said her uncle “could not have done.”

It remains to be seen if David Blaine is really a hologram, and the joke has been on us this whole time, but his latest stunt is just as ridiculous as any of his other ones, if not more so. Today he’s being suspended upside down in Central Park, where he hopes to remain for three days. The health risks this time around? Well, bad things can happen when all the blood in your body rushes toward your head and stays there for 60 hours, the main hiccup being possible blindness. Being inverted so long also messes with your internal organs, and oh, there’s the risk of falling four stories if something goes wrong.

But it’s David Blaine, the 21st century equivalent of “The Highlander,” so he won’t die, and even if he goes blind, there’s at least a 75% chance he’ll be locking his blind self in a cage with a tiger for a month before the year’s over.
