\nThe Street Magic performer recently spoke to reporters about his daunting task, which is being broadcast in a special on ABC on Sept. 24, along with real estate mogul Donald Trump, who owns Wollman Skating Rink.
\nBut is he ready?
\n“Although it is very dangerous, I don\u2019t just jump up here and say I\u2019m going to suddenly see what happens,” says David. “I\u2019ve actually practiced it, but I\u2019ve only gotten up to six hours. Six hours against 60 hours is a lot different.”
\nDonald says he’s definitely in David’s corner, and believes he can accomplish his task.
\n“I have learned from David. You would really think that some of the things he\u2019s done are not physically or mentally possible,” says Donald. “You can do things in your own mind that you don\u2019t think you can do.”
\nAs for how David is preparing for his bat-like challenge, he’s gone to the extreme once again.
\n“I stopped eating about a week ago, so I dropped about twenty pounds, which makes it easier on the body, and I don\u2019t have to go to the bathroom number two,” he confesses. As for all the liquids he’ll be drinking, David says he’ll use a catheter.
\nTo speak to that most obvious of questions, “why?” David’s answer is simple.
\n“The point of all these things is I think we can endure much more than we think we can. Like, I think we can take everything \u2013 we can turn our world upside down, but we can still endure because human beings are amazing,” he says.
\nThe Donald agrees, saying, “That\u2019s in business, too, because look at what we\u2019re going through in terms of the world. People tend to endure a lot more than they think they can, and this is a great example of that.”
\nAnd if you still need a reason to watch David’s stunt, look no farther than the ticket price.
\n“It\u2019s free, and there aren\u2019t too many things in life that are free especially nowadays,” says Donald.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
