Los Angeles/New York - Endurance artist and magician David Blaine plans to shock audiences in September by hanging over New York's Central Park like a bat.
The 'batman' stunt will feature Blaine hanging upside down for three days and two nights in a performance called David Blaine: Dive of Death, E! Online reported Friday.
The end of the endurance event will be broadcast in a two-hour television special on September 22.
Blaine plans not to eat during the stunt and will sleep upside down.
In April, the 35-year-old broke a world record by holding his breath underwater for 17 minutes and 4.4 seconds. Past stunts also include being buried alive for seven days and being frozen for 60 hours in a block of ice.
In 2003, he went 44 days without eating while living in a glass cube in London. He lost 30 kilogrammes and had to be hospitalized.

Another amazingly boring stunt. 'yay' If he hung upside down on the central line for 60 hours that would be impressive. What can his next stunt be!! Perhaps he will not cut his toenails for 2 months, or perhaps.... He will sleep for 90 hours... WHO KNOWS.
