scratch that, he is actually trying to hold his breath under water for 9 minutes.


i think he has been in the water for a while already, though, but he had an oxygen mask.

Don't care if he didn't get the record. In fact, the fact that he DIDN'T, makes me respect him even more. A fraud would have broken the record.

And the guy is a freak, but his up close magic is amazing. Don't care if others in the profession don't respect his work, he can amaze people and have them standing there with their jaws on the floor. now thats showmanship.

David Blaine pisses me off.

I'm sure he's great at whatever he does, he just pisses me off and I'd rather not watch him flounder around in the water.

Besides, it was on ABC and I hate that channel.
