David Blaine

We went to Lincoln Center last May 7 to witness David Blaine's latest stunt where he did a one-week residency in a water-filled sphere and then try to hold his breath for 9 minutes under water. He managed to hold his breath underwater for only 7 minutes 8 seconds.

Blaine has gained world-wide fame by creating marathon, death-defying stunts. In 1999, he buried himself alive in a see-through coffin for seven days. A year later in Times Square, he was frozen in a block of ice for 63 hours. And, in 2002, he perched himself 90 feet above the ground for 36 hours.
