David Blaine Unhappy with Latest Stunt

Endurance expert David Blaine recently said that he was unhappy about how he ended his latest stunt, when he hung upside down without a net over Central Park for 60 hours.

As it has been well documented, Blaine took a 10-15 minute break every hour from the stunt, which had people in a bit of an uproar. Especially those who went out to see the 35-year-old magician in action.

Blain completed the stunt Wednesday night on ABC, but said on Thursday morning, on Live with Regis and Kelly, that he was disappointed with how it ended.

"I had dreamed up the most amazing ending for a stunt ever," he said.

But then, Blaine said that his ending of jumping from 44 feet off a platform to the ground while attatched to the harness didn't end as he had dreamed. He went on to say that at around 10 feet, he was supposed to be swept away by a huge amount of helium-filled balloons.

Instead of his original vision, Blaine dangled a few feet from the ground and then just flew away into the sky. Which might seem cool, but not as cool as he had originally hoped.

The reason for abandoning his original vision was because ABC was scared that he might hurt himself diving because of the high speed of the winds in Central Park.

"I wasn't going to let everybody down, so I just jumped, and somehow the guys with the balloons made it work, and they pulled me slowly up and I went over into the park and they pulled me down," he said.

Blaine explained how he found out that the ending of his stunt was, in essence, a failure: "I know that it didn't work right when all my friends called up and said, 'Wait, what happened? I'm confused.'"
