David Blaine ‘Dive of Death’ On ABC Featuring Kimbo Slice

Tonight David Blaine will push the limits of the human body once again with his “Dive of Death” two hour special, which airs on ABC beginning at 9 p.m. ET tonight (September 24).Basically he’ll hang upside down by a thin wire, five stories in the air over Wollman Rink in New York City’s Central Park. For three days and three nights (72 hours) he’ll stay suspended from the wire without a safety net of any kind.

No one knows what Blaine has planned for the conclusion of the spectacle, but he usually comes through with something awe inspiring. Plus it’s called the “Dive of Death,” so it has to be something cool, right?Of course, there was that time when he attempted to break the world record for breath holding under water and almost killed himself in the process. That was after living in a small tank of water for a week straight.

Clearly not something done by a normal human being.It’s obvious this guy either has a death wish, or he’s on some kind of super natural shit none of us know about. Either way, it’ll be fun watching.Leading up to the mysterious conclusion of the “Dive of Death” ABC will air footage of Blaine performing various other magic tricks while on a cross country road trip.

One of the stunts Blaine has on tape that will be part of the broadcast will be him showing off his ability to absorb a punch to the stomach from Elite XC heavyweight fighter Kimbo Slice. The stunt is designed as a tribute to Blaine’s hero Harry Houdini, who died from injuries inflicted from punches to the stomach, according to FightLinker.com.That’s one heck of a magic trick. Maybe he didn’t see the guy on YouTube who took a hundred bucks to get tackled by Kimbo in full pads. It didn’t work out so well for him.
