Blaine reveals next stunt a 'dive of death'

Illusionist David Blaine says his next stunt will be to plunge from a helicopter at a "tremendous height" into a river.

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 perform the stunt on April 4 next year, his birthday, if he could prepare in time.

The announcement came just weeks after Blaine emerged from a glass box in which he was suspended near London's Tower Bridge for 44 days without food.
