Illusionist David Blaine has successfully pulled off his latest death-defying stunt after floating more than 24,000 feet in the sky only holding onto a handful of balloons. Blaine's risky stunt was made more death-defying when it was revealed he didn't put his parachute on until he was approximately halfway up. During the stunt, Blaine spoke with his daughter Dessa, telling her it felt like he was floating, telling viewers it didn't feel like he was on Earth. He told his crew he was proud of them and he never felt more confident about any stunt he's pulled off. David Blaine reached 24,700 feet before letting go of the balloons and parachuting back down to Earth.
