David Blaine's latest trick a sham?

David Blaine said he was going to hang upside down for 60 hours. Everyone thought it was crazy, and rumor had it he was going against death, even. With all the blood rushing to his brain, it'd put a lot of pressure on the veins around his head and could cause either blindness or a stroke. But apparently, it's not what we all thought it would be.

If you tell someone you're going to hang upside down for 60 hours, they assume 60 hours nonstop. Apparently, that's not what David did at all. David took breaks ON HIS FEET at multiple times during the 60 hours, including a long 20-minute break before a live 2-hour show on ABC last night to cap off the stunt.

And speaking of the big stunt at the end, it wasn't really much of anything. He was attached to a harness and jumped down, then was lifted back up in the air and "disappeared into the darkness." Check it out below.
