Blaine's next trick is 'dive of death'
David Blaine says he will plunge hundreds of feet from a helicopter into a river for his next stunt.
Blaine said only a few people had survived a fall from such a height and admitted it could go terribly wrong.
He said he hoped to do the stunt on April 4 next year, his birthday, if he could prepare in time.
Although he did not give the location, he said he would soon do his first practice jump, a 110ft plunge.
In his first major interview since the end of the box stunt, Blaine said: "The next thing I am going to do is a crazy one.
"I can tell you it has to do with me falling from a helicopter into a river. It's called 'dive of death'. It will be from such a tremendous height there's only a couple of people who lived from that height, it is like hitting pavement."
Speaking on Larry King Live he said there would be no parachute and "no dummy either - it will actually be me".
"If you go in a little bit off if your body is not perfectly straight - you do not pierce the water right, you rip your ligaments off, you're paralysed, anything can go wrong," he said.
