Illusionist, David Blaine, is nearing the end of his latest stunt, in which he is attempting to endure up to a million volts of electricity.
The 3-day event, "Electrified", started Friday on Pier 54 in New York. Audience members in New York and "pop-up stations" in Beijing, London, Tokyo and Sydney can control the electricity hitting Blaine by using computers.
In a tweet over the weekend, Blaine said the protective suit keeps him safe from most of the electricity. He says what he does feel is kind of like being punched in the face.
