David Blaine has never been one to shy away from a challenge, and his latest extreme stunt has seen him once again prove the nay-sayers wrong.

David Blaine Ascension sees the 47-year-old lifted into the air by balloons - one of which was reportedly an experimental aircraft - in a move reminiscent of Pixar's Up.
