Everyone who has watched the wholesome movie UP, even once, has dreamt about floating in air with a million helium balloons and setting on an unknown adventure.
Well, lucky for illusionist and endurance artist, David Blaine, he actually had his UP moment as he successfully flew into the sky with 53 helium balloons for his latest stunt (minus a full-fledged house of course).
Here are a few videos by this extreme performer who is 47-years-old that will blow your mind and give you some major goosebumps:
