Washington, Sept 24 : American magician David Blaine is said to have cheated in his latest stunt, which involves him hanging upside down for 60 hours.

An eyewitness photographed him standing upright on September 23, and another reported Blaine had been taking breaks, from being hung upside down, by standing up about three times an hour.

Though the revelation has removed the charm from 35-year-old Blaine''s latest stunt, his representative said that he never intended to stay upside down for 60 consecutive hours.
