Plot summary
On November 27, 2000, Blaine began a stunt called "Frozen in Time", which was covered on a TV special. Blaine stood encased in a massive block of ice located in Times Square, New York City. He was lightly dressed and seen to be shivering even before the blocks of ice were sealed around him. A tube supplied him with air and water while his urine was removed with another tube. He was encased in the box of ice for 63 hours, 42 minutes and 15 seconds before being removed with chain saws. The ice was transparent and resting on an elevated platform to show that he was actually inside the ice the entire time.

Entertaining, but not nearly as impressive as Blaine's other TV specials.
David Blaine: Frozen in Time
This was the first time I saw the almost fearless magician/stunt man in action, and it really was a gripping programme. He basically incarcerated/in-cased himself in a block of ice and tried to stay there for 72 hours. He did not move that much in the ice cube, and people watching him were obviously getting worried about how long he could survive the cold, and in not very good clothing. When the final moments came, he was getting a bit impatient, and when he came out he was rushed straight to hospital with frostbite/hypothermia. It was quite disturbing seeing his condition afterwards, but he was okay. I can't wait to see his next stunt, but I also wonder why he wants to do these things. Very good!
