Magician Blaine Escapes From Gyroscope
David Blaine has escaped — again. Shackled to a spinning gyroscope and hovering 40 feet above Times Square, the magician managed to free himself yesterday about 2:15 p.m., bringing an end to his latest stunt. Mr. Blaine, who had been inside the gyroscope for 52 hours without food or water, landed on a wooden platform after jumping from the hanging gyroscope. He was strapped into the contraption Tuesday around 10 a.m. and his goal was to be out by 2 p.m. yesterday. The 33-year-old magician was not injured.
