The spoiler is you'll be bored even at 2x speed.
Saw it on youtube linked from Philip DeFranco. Watched the initial few mins of him talking to his daughter - felt the scripted sugar cringe magically remove any excitement I might have had. That lead to me skipping ahead a few times to absolutely nothing happening. Watched a segment where the audio was absolutely inaudible with groundcrew. Skipped to him finally "jumping" and subsequently landing. I wasted all of 10 mins on this 187 mins thing and that was 8 mins too much.
A german guy (Felix Baumgartner) did something similar a while back, but he jumped from the Stratosphere instead. While that also had a lot of filler it was a lot more interesting (I actually watched it and all the red tape and training and stuff) and warrants at least a watch of the highlights real at 1.30 mins
TLDR; Check it out if you think it might interest you, but it contains no illusion or magic trick or anything like that. It's 187 mins of mostly MEH for one guy to jump from some ballons with a parachute and land. I'm sure it was fun for David Blaine, that however does not qualify it as entertainment for others.
