Daredevil David
Blaine has finished what could be called his most electrifying
stunt.
The magician emerged shortly before 9
p.m. Monday after spending three days and three nights standing in the middle
of 1 million volts of electric
currents at New York's Pier 54.
A spokesman says Blaine was able to walk
with assistance, speak and kiss fiancée Alizee Guinochet (ah-LEE'-zay
gwee-noh-SHAY') before being taken to a hospital to be examined.The 39-year-old
Blaine wore a chainmail bodysuit as a barrier between himself and the currents,
emitted by Tesla coils.
The stunt was called "Electrified: One Million Volts Always On."
It was streamed on YouTube, with help from Intel Corp. Blaine's past stunts
include hanging upside down over Central Park and being encased in a block of
ice.
