INTRO: David Blaine frees himself during latest entrapment stunt.
STORY: David Blaine's latest stunt ended with a crash on Thursday (November 23) when the performer escaped from shackles(腳鐐、手銬) in a gyroscope(迴旋儀;陀螺儀) 50 feet above New York's Times Square, leapt(跳躍) and fell through a plywood(膠合板) stage below.
After two days twisting and turning in the air, Blaine unhooked himself, jumped and crashed through the stage about half an hour after being given the go-ahead(許可) to try to escape.
He emerged moments later, able to walk but appearing woozy(頭昏眼花的), and greeted a few hundred spectators before being whisked away in a taxi. Blaine has locked himself in a fish bowl(魚缸), a block of ice and a coffin in previous stunts. He once spent 44 days in a box suspended over the Thames in London. This time he spent a little over two full days in the gyroscope.
Then promoters of the event gave him 16 hours to break free as of Thursday afternoon, which would have taken him into Friday. Blaine needed only a few minutes to escape despite the cold and rain.
"It's actually harder than I thought it would be," Blaine said while trying to remove the shackle around his waist. Many in the crowd had gathered after watching New York's Thanksgiving Day parade, which passed near the stunt(特技表演) site just off Times Square.
