All for a cause in Times Square

On November 21, 2006, Blaine was suspended and shackled in a gyroscope for 3 days above New York City's Times Square.

As part of a promotion for a department-store chain, the illusionist was expected to unshackle himself before a specified time.

Blaine, once again, proved why he is considered the best. After spinning in shackles in the gyroscope for two days, he emerged with a crash half a hour after being allowed to try.

This challenge helped bring smiles on the faces of 100 children and their families selected by the Salvation Army, as they each got a shopping voucher.
