Magician David Blaine only has one day to go in his starvation exercise, 'Above the Below', in central London.
For the past 43 days Mr Blaine has lived in a transparent box suspended from a crane near Tower Bridge - next to the mayor's offices - with no food, his only sustenance being water through a tube.
Experts have suggested he could do lasting damage to his body in the stunt, due to end tomorrow. Once the body's energy reserves run out, organs such as the heart and liver are absorbed to supply nutrients to the brain.
Mr Blaine has recently been complaining of 'black outs' and visual problems, as well as feeling the cold.
The attempt has drawn attention from all over the world, and led to traffic problems around Tower Bridge, as well as a possible ticking off for several Newham police officers, who allegedly went to visit the illusionist while on duty.
David Blaine is due to come down from the box after 44 days, at 9.30pm tomorrow.
