Israeli artist aims to break David Blaine's endurance record
Israeli illusionist and endurance artist Hezi Dean is aiming to break the record of American artist David Blaine by standing on a 89ft-high tower for 35 hours.
Dean was lifted to the top of the tower at Rabin square in Tel Aviv, Israel, this morning by crane. He will try to remain there with no food until tomorrow evening, The Daily Mail reports.
Blaine had managed to stand on a tower in Bryant Park, New York City in 2002 for 35 hours.
It is not the first time Dean has followed in Blaine's footsteps.
In early 2010, he had spent 66 hours entombed in a block of ice, topping Blaine's 63 hours which he achieved in 2000.
