Paralyzed Man Drives Blind Across America

New York, NY (WFN) -- Thought you've seen every magic trick in the book? How about the paralyzed magician who's driving across America -- blind?

Starting today (Jun. 30) at 9 a.m. EDT, magician Jim Passe -- who has been paralyzed from the waist down for nine years -- will attempt his greatest stunt: driving from New York to Los Angeles completely blindfolded with "six layers of materials."

Passe will have two passengers -- but "no backseat driving" -- and will perform magic shows in Cleveland, Chicago and Las Vegas before he ends up in L.A. on July 6.

He claims he was driving blind even before he was paralyzed by a falling prop, and can sense if other cars are near. Still, his longest journey thus far has been 20 miles, so fatigue could be a factor.

Passe is using the stunt to help raise funds for paralysis research and to raise awareness that "a cure is really only a few years away with proper funding."
