Daredevil magician David Blaine says he’ll risk getting electrocuted next month when he takes on a 1 million-volt charge for 72 hours.
The 39-year-old celebrity illusionist said Monday that he’s been training to endure three days and nights of the potentially deadly electrical current.
Beginning Oct. 5, fans can watch for free as the modern-day Houdini gets lit up on Pier 54 near the Meatpacking District in a stunt he’s calling “Electrified: One Million Volts Always On.”
While he hopes it won’t be a sizzling performance, Blaine vowed it will be his “most dangerous” ever. Computer-chip giant Intel has joined forces with Blaine to promote its new Ultrabook laptops and live-stream the performance to the world.
In a YouTube trailer posted Monday, Blaine stands on a metal pedestal wearing a futuristic mesh suit and a globe-shaped wire helmet as electrical bolts hit him from all directions.
