David Blaine’s YouTube Original stunt Ascension took place in the small town of Page in Arizona. With 52 helium balloons, David ascends up into the Arizona sky before parachuting down from 24,900ft (7589.52m) after 90 minutes floating. To put into perspective how high David was, the height of Mount Everest (the highest point on earth) is 29,000ft (8,848m).
Did you know? To prepare for this stunt David jumped out of a plane 500 times.
