For his new performance magician David Blaine will wear a custom made metal suit and will stand on a 20-foot-high (6 meter) platform on New York City's Pier 54 on the edge of the Hudson River, surrounded by seven metallic orbs, or tesla coils, that will stream 1 million volts of electricity around him for 3 days and nights. Talk about high charged!
