He has survived being entombed in an underground plastic box beneath a three-ton water tank for seven days with no food and little water, was encased in a large block of ice in New York City’s Times Square and stood atop a 100-foot-tall pillar in New York’s Bryant Park for 36 hours without a safety net. Blaine’s last television special, “Beyond Magic,” aired in 2016 on ABC. “David Blaine: The Magic Way” is produced by D Blaine Productions for the ABC Television Network.
