American magician David Blaine has successfully completed his latest endurance stunt - hanging upside down over the Wollman in New Yark for 60 hours Wednesday night. The 35-year-old Blaine began his endurance challenge of being upside down, of living upside down, of drinking upside down, of eating upside down on Monday.

The illusionist had previously taped segment of the ABC television special called 'David Blaine: Dive of Death'. He had said when he would do those stunts where he would push his body to the limit, he would feel the magic happening inside him. ABC television has captured live the final moments of Blaine's latest feat.

He completed his endurance challenge with a 44-foot plunge while attached to a wire. Later he was whisked back up in the air.

I felt like he messed up. Like something went wrong with the trick. Im sad to say that it was such an anticlimactic ending. I was hoping that Blaine would popped out behind the reporter's back when the news went on... dissappointment. :(

I wasted 2 hours of my life. First of all he was supposed to catch a bullet in his mouth, but he had a steel cup in his mouth which is not like others have tried to do and not succeded. And he was supposed to jump without a cord. And the anouncer is like OMG he vanished anyone could of jumped off that thing and vanish when all the lights were turned off. The guy is a joke.

People keep focusing on what a con David is, but frankly, I'd consider Chris Angel a con before him. Surely his goal isn't to die; death and danger is part of the illusion. I'd like to see all these people talking trash to duplicate exactly what he did. Sure he didn't do some polished trick, but it is a feat of endurance that most could not do any day.
