David Blaine breaks world record


David Blaine set a new world record for holding his breath. By doing it in 17 minutes and 4 seconds, he beat the previous record of 16 minutes and 32 seconds.
This dude is wild! I am petrified after holding my breath for a minute in the swimming pool.

Of course it was broadcast live on”The Oprah Winfrey Show”. She owns exclusive rights to the world! 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.

Earlier in the show, Winfrey noted that her boyfriend, Stedman Graham, was making a rare appearance in the audience because he’s such a fan of Blaine’s work.
