David Blaine Jumps From Balloons 20,000 Feet in the Air

Famed magician David Blaine, known for his daring stunts that test the limits of his survival skills, is back with a new trick. Blaine was hoisted 20,000 feet over the Arizona desert by 52 large red balloons, before plunging toward the earth in a freefall broken by a pull of his parachute cord. Blaine said the trick was inspired by the classic film “The Red Balloon,” which his mother took him to see as a child. He dedicated the stunt, dubbed “Ascension,” to his 9-year-old daughter. #InsideEdition

Why was I expecting him to fall without a parachute 🤔

[bravesfan]

Guys he’s just tying to keep a safe distance

[exrinn]

Is his hand tied or is he hanging on for dear life😄

[cruzwalsh]

His daughter probably had multiple feelings about this

[Frenite]

That looks super fun and terrifying at the same time.

[ellabella]

ill be honest, if he didnt land properly and hurt himself, his daughter wouldve became so traumatized.
