On November 27, 2000, Blaine encased himself in a six-ton block of ice in which he survived for 62 hours.
Wearing only pants, boots and a knit cap, with his upper body merely smeared with a layer of Vaseline, Blaine endured the challenge -- freezing himself in the 8-foot by 6-foot block of ice. To urinate, he used a catheter that ran down his pant leg.
Unfazed by fears of hypothermia, frostbite and muscle spasms, the entertainer completed the challenge.
