David Blaine Hangs Out In Times Square -- The Photos

Tuesday November 21, 2006
David Blaine Gyroscope Photos Magician David Blaine is currently hanging upside down five stories above Times Square in a giant gysroscope. Here are the photos to prove it.

Blaine will spend Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday spinning 40 feet in the air above Times Square inside a giant gyroscope. And you thought your Thanksgiving was going to be dysfunctional.

Blaine's challenge is to escape from the gyroscope by Friday at 5AM to make it to the Target 2-Day Sale (guess who's co-sponsoring Blaine's dangle). Apparently, Blaine has a lot of shopping to do. In fact, he will escort 100 deserving kids chosen by The Salvation Army on a shopping spree. This is presumably after he finishes hurling from the world's worst head rush.
