===''Frozen in Time'' (2000)===
On November 27, 2000, Blaine performed a stunt called ''Frozen in Time'', where he attempted and failed to stand in a large block of ice located in [[Times Square]], New York City for 72 hours.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-11-29-0011290043-story.html|title="David Blaine: Frozen in Time": The latest...|first=Steve|last=Johnson|publisher=The Chicago Tribune|date=November 29, 2000|access-date=August 21, 2020|archive-date=August 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807193157/https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2000-11-29-0011290043-story.html|url-status=live}}</ref> It was covered on a TV special. He was lightly dressed and appeared to be shivering even before the blocks of ice were placed around him. A tube supplied him with air and water, while his urine was removed with another tube. He was encased in the box of ice for 63 hours, 42 minutes, and 15 seconds before being removed with [[chainsaw]]s. The ice was transparent and resting on an elevated platform to show that he was actually inside the ice the entire time. He was removed from the ice and taken to a hospital due to fears he might be going into [[Shock (circulatory)|shock]].<ref>David Blaine0&nbsp;– Fearless (DVD), Buena Vista Home Entertainment, shows footage of his hospitalization including the exclamation "He is going into shock!"</ref> ''[[The New York Times]]'' reported, "The magician who emerged from the increasingly unstable ice box seemed a shadow of the confident, robust, shirtless fellow who entered two days before."<ref>McKinley, Jesse.
