David Blaine spending 60 hours suspended upside down over Central Park's Wollman Rink just got even less interesting! While being lowered closer to the ground in order to chat with fans still falls within the rulebook, his medical exams have him standing upright on his own two feet! One spectator caught him and now there's photographic evidence! Well, if you want to suspend (heh) disbelief for a while and ignore the cheats, you can now join Blaine for a few minutes--his "expert stunt team has arranged for fans to take the David Blaine Challenge by safely hanging upside down for a minute or two, Tuesday, 3 - 11 p.m., Central Park’s Wollman Rink."
