This is some ‘News of the Weird’….My question is “How did he do that?” I am not a fan of Mr. Blaine but his latest stunt is one to watch. below is the article that discusses what he is doing.
David Blaine’s latest stunt is spending a week living in a 2.4m acrylic sphere filled with water. The 33-year-old magician, with an oxygen tube in his mouth, slid into his snow globe-like “human aquarium” yesterday at New York’s Lincoln Centre.
In a week, he will remove the device and attempt to hold his breath underwater longer than the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds. He also will try to escape from 67.5 kg of chains and handcuffs during the breath-holding finale on Monday.
“As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini,” Blaine said yesterday. “I don’t think about death, but I am prepared for it.”
Blaine said he started training in December, with help from U.S. Navy SEALS. He lost 22.5 kg so his body would require less oxygen.
He will be fed and relieve himself by tubes.
