The illusionist David Blaine is seeing things from an unusual perspective as he begins a three day stunt in New York's Central Park.
During the challenge David Blaine will abstain from eating and sleeping but he will be able to drink fluids. Doctors warn there is a risk of blood clots or blindness, but doesn't appear to have stopped him from embarking on the sixty hour stunt. Liz Kennedy reports.SOUNDBITE:
