David Blaine Previews His New Stunt "Electrified"
- 12 years ago
Magician David Blaine gives a preview of his most shocking stunt yet - using his body to conduct one million volts of electricity.
The hair-raising performance will last 3 days and nights, giving fans in New York plenty of time to check out the action.
[David Blaine, Magician]:
"Being exposed to an electromagnetic field for that length of time for three days and three nights has never been done. So it's obviously going to effect - we're made out of electrons, neurons, so it's going to affect everything that I'm made out of. So we don't know actually what the effect is."
Decked out in chain mail and special boots lined with metal, Blaine fires electricity from his fingertips like lightening.
[David Blaine, Magician]:
"It's like a static, it's like a buzz, it's like a static electricity almost, like when something runs over your arm and your hair goes up. So it's a pretty cool feeling."
The stunt, entitled "electrified", is being presented in partnership with technology company Intel.
Fans can get involved at special stations, or on the dedicated YouTube site, both heavily promoting the lightweight laptop Ultrabook.
Only one question remains.
After 3 continuous days running one million volts of electricity, who is going to pick up the energy bill?
