David Blaine's shocking stunt sees him stand three days and nights amidst a million volts of electricity
Daredevil stuntman David Blaine lit up New York's Pier 54 on Friday for his latest high voltage feat.
The illusionist is scheduled to spend three days and nights standing in the middle of a million volts of electric currents streamed by tesla coils.
The stunt is called "Electrified: One Million Volts Always On."
"Electrified" also is being streamed on YouTube, thanks to computing company Intel. Viewing stations are located in London, Beijing, Tokyo and Sydney. Viewers at the stations are able to control the coils.
The 39-year-old Blaine is wearing a chainmail bodysuit as a barrier between himself and the electric currents.
Blaine's past stunts include hanging upside down over Central Park, being buried alive and encased in a block of ice.
Protective armour: The illusionist and endurance man was protected from the volts by a suit of chain mail and wire helmet
Dramatic scenes: a crown gathered to watch the stunt in New York, while others watched the action on YouTube
Going without: Blaine will not eat in the three days he will be electrified
Lightening show: The magician and endurance artist has only a water tube to help him through the next three days
Dramatic sight: Blaine's stunt resembled a light show as the volts were pumped in
Preparation: Blaine was later than his 7.30 start time and looked a little nervous as he stepped onto the platform
Salutations: Blaine greeted the crowd as he prepared for the electricity to be tued on
