NEW YORK (AFP) - US magician David Blaine will try to escape from shackles after spending two days in a spinning gyroscope suspended above New York next week, the illusionist said Friday, unveiling his latest stunt.

On Tuesday, Blaine will be locked spread eagle into the gyroscope, which will then be hoisted 15 metres (50 feet) into the air and spun at up to eight revolutions a minute until Thursday, when he will try to escape.
To avoid any problematic calls of nature, the 33-year-old will not eat or drink for as long as it takes to empty his system.
