No Vertigo here! David Blaine's cute daughter Dessa stops to pick flowers while enjoying a ride on the illusionist's shoulders

He does terrifying endurance stunts for a living, but when he’s not putting his life in danger, David Blaine is a family man.

The illusionist was seen taking his daughter Dessa for a ride on his shoulders in New York on Friday.

During their stroll around the Big Apple, the cute as a button two-year-old spotted some pink flowers she liked the look of.

And David showed what a doting dad he is as he immediately steered in that direction and let the little one pick a couple of blooms.

Dessa was delighted as she waved the petals around, while David kept a firm grip on her by holding onto her ankles.

As they stepped out together, Dessa held on tight to her father’s baseball cap.

Her parents, David and fiancée and assistant Alizee Guinochet, had made sure she was wrapped up warm before venturing out in the chilly weather.

The blonde-haired cutie was dressed in a pink wool jacket with furry lining, as well as a white scarf, jeans and brown suede boots.

Meanwhile her 40-year-old father was dressed all in black in a jacket over a T-shirt, jeans and trainers.

Next month, fans can see the endurance artist in a TV-show called David Blaine: Real Or Magic, which will be a 90-minute special airing on ABC.

His last stunt was called Electrified: One Million Volts Always On, which occurred in October last year.

For 72 hours, David was on a 22ft high pillar at Pier 54, with a system made of seven Tesla coils directed at him while emitting an electric discharge of one million volts or more.

The current went through a chainmail suit David was wearing and was designed so it would not go through the star’s body, while he did not eat or sleep.

However one of the coils came into contact with water David was using to keep hydrated and he was violently shocked, which caused an irregularity in his heartbeat.

While participating in the stunt Pharrell Williams and Andrew W.K. performed on keyboards that controlled the electric current, and he also had visits from the likes of Chris Rock and Darren Aronofsky.
