See you guys in about 35 hours," Blaine told reporters as he was lifted by a crane to the top of the pillar behind the Fifth Avenue branch of the New York Public Library. Amid cheers from a few hundred fans and curious passersby, Blaine stepped onto the pillar, which at its peak has a width of about 22 inches. Event organizers said Blaine is not harnessed to the column and the only concession made to safety is two handles on either side of Blaine, which he can clutch onto in the event of intense winds. The stunt will culminate on Wednesday night when Blaine, who models himself on the legendary Harry Houdini, dives from the platform onto corrugated cardboard boxes. The end of the spectacle will be shown live on an ABC television special called David Blaine's Vertigo. When asked why his public spectacles have been sheer endurance tests rather than magical feats, Blaine said a magic-themed stunt would be "the next thing. We're still working on it. But endurance is also important to me because it represents something greater ... It's a sign of trying to do your best to do something." David Blaine's Vertigo: Magician David Blaine - day 1
