I love me my email lists - David Blaine
I love magic. Especially fond of close-up work but large illusions are fun too.
David Blaine is really good at what he does -- body control for large illusions although he got his start doing some amazing closeup work on the street.
His current project is spending 72 hours in a wearable Faraday Cage while being bombarded with Tesla Coil arcs at up to 1,000,000 volts.
David's
website is pure Flash crap so I cannot link to this specific event but you should be able to navigate to it.
Here is his Wikipedia entry:

Anyway, I am on a Tesla email list and the builder of David's setup is a list member and posted this earlier tonight:
Well we are 23 hours in and no coil failures yet.
Unfortunately ozone and nitrogen dioxide levels have been limiting us from really hammering david with the full capacity of the system.
Cheers
Steve
And Steve is getting paid for this -- the dirty rotten scoundrel...
