An Israeli illusionist gave an icy reception to the New Year, emerging at midnight from 66 hours in an 8-tonne block of ice, breaking the record of American magician David Blaine.
Hezi Dean, 29, had himself sealed into a specially constructed transparent ice cube in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square, where he apparently stayed for nearly three days wearing just jeans and a thin T-shirt.
At the stroke of midnight, assistants cut open the ice block and removed a weak-looking Dean, taking him straight to a waiting ambulance.
His condition was not immediately clear.
