David Blaine broke the Guiness World Record today for holding one’s breath. David held his breath underwater for 17 minutes 4 seconds. That’s pretty amazing considering one time I got water up my nose in the shower and fled my house in terror. Probably should’ve grabbed a towel first…. The AP reports:
The feat was broadcast live during “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and the studio audience cheered as divers pulled the 35-year-old magician from a water-filled sphere.
Blaine looked relaxed afterward and said the record was “a lifelong dream.”
Before he entered the sphere, Blaine inhaled pure oxygen through a mask to saturate his blood with oxygen and flush out carbon dioxide.
Unfortunately, David’s moment in the sun is about to be cut short. THIS JUST IN: Criss Angel has broken the record for most jewelry worn by one person. Moment’s ago, he stepped into a bar wearing the entire Claire’s charm bracelet collection. When asked to comment, Criss Angel responded by falling over in a crash of sparkly pandas and peace signs. He would later cough up a ruby-crusted family of unicorns before asking a woman for her number. SHAZAM!
with that vacant stare, i would say that hypoxia is not a big deal for him…he’s already mentally compromised
This post made me laugh really laugh. I agree with #50, that is what got me laughing like a maniac and then how you made the comment about Criss Angel wearing all his jewerly. Thank you. I haven’t had a good laugh in awhile.
Although he doesn’t look to happy.
could it be: HE NEEDS SOME FRESH AIR?
i WATCHED this stupid illusion. His hair wasn’t even wet when he “came up” for air. When he did come up, he didn’t hyperventilate and immediately started talking normally. It was nothing but an illusion. This scumbag will do anything for publicity.
BFD. Ophra ate some nasty chitlens and ribs and farted. David held his breath in order to live.
If he actually did hold his breath for 17 minutes and it wasn’t some illusion, that is pretty fucking impressive. I watched Navy Seal candidates nearly drown after holding their breath for a little over 2 minutes. Hell, water board a GitMo detainee for 30 seconds and they are giving you the phone numbers of ex-girlfriends who do it “Goat Style”….
Oh, and fuck David Blaine and Criss Angel, Doug Henning is the shit. Recognize.
He’s an illusionist. What an insult to the people who ACTUALLY did (or tried) this.
