Bonkers American magician whose magic stunts involve acts of unimaginable physical endurance (unless he’s cheating). There was the time he lived in a glass box dangling beside the Thames for 44 days, living on only salty water in a tube. Then his next trick involved shackling himself to a rotating gyroscope. Then there was the water-filled sphere, then hanging upside down over Central Park. Reports that he decided against marrying Heather McCartney Mills “because of the health risks” are as yet unconfirmed. Great GMTV interview though.
