David Blaine branded a cheat as he completes Dive Of Death

Illusionist disappoints fans in New York

Thursday, 25 September 2008

David Blaine was booed last night as he completed his Dive Of Death stunt in New York.

The illusionist spent 3 days hanging upside down in Central Park.

But instead of staying with his legs in the air 24/7, he took frequent breaks to go for a wee.

David, 35, had previously told reporters that he intended to drink through a straw and urinate through a catheter.

But his rep Pat Smith insisted this was never the case.

'In all of his discussions with the media, he said he would have to occasionally get his head above his heart and lower his legs to correct circulation,’ Pat told gossip site Gawker.com during the challenge.

'About once every hour, David comes upright for about five minutes for a medical and equipment check. He has something to drink and he relieves himself, something even David can't do upside down.'
