New York City - David Blaine began his latest endurance challenge Monday morning -- 60 hours spent hanging upside-down, without a net.

He was put into position above Wollman Rink in Central Park.

Hanging upside-down for that length of time puts Blaine at risk of swelling and cramps in his internal organs, and of going blind.

A doctor will be on hand throughout the stunt, but has agreed to not stop Blaine for any reason until the 60 hours is complete.

to Chaim 4:04 - how do you know that he is Jewish?
I was told by those that saw his picture on video that they could not tell even his skin color indicators of race.

He's not hanging for 60 hours straight everybody. He's taking a 5-10 min break every hour. If this was a real stunt, he would have been dead by now.
