David Blaine has just completed a shocking new stunt. Billed as “a death-defying act which was his most dangerous yet and would astonish millions”, the event saw Blaine stand in the middle of a million volts of electric current streamed by Tesla coils. He stood there for 72 hours straight. His only protection was a suit of armour and a specially designed helmet. He describes the sensation of being electrocuted to being “banged very hard on the back of the head”.
