David Blaine Beat the World Record in Breath Holding

David Blaine did it. When he announce that he’s gonna attempt to beat the world record in breath holding live on Oprah, it all seemed so distant and now he’s the bearer of the world’s record for breath holding.

After a month of preparations, David Blaine went under water for 17 minutes and 4 seconds on today’s Oprah’s Show. Previous breath holding world record was set in Switzerland and the crazy held his breath for 16 minutes and 32 seconds. David Blaine had an uneasy task of trying to beat that.

Is this shit real or fake? I don’t know. It was on Oprah show and above is the video. Who knows? David’s magic is all a big fluke start to end, so who knows. But apparently Guinness Book of World Records reps were there, monitoring all activity, making sure that everything is worthy a mention in the book. Which could mean he did hold his breath for real.

17 minutes without breathing is pretty impressive. I’m kind of having hard time believing this is possible. I go all tipsy and my vision goes to pooper after 40 seconds. I can’t imagine anyone not providing any oxygen to their brain for 17 minutes. Kind of weird.

BTW – didn’t David Blaine used to call himself a magician? If so, dd he run out of all magic trick ideas that he needed to attempt a Guinness World record in breath holding? Maybe he never was a magician.

As much as I think David Blaine is a complete moron, he chose right show for his record, because Oprah is yet more annoying than him and her lameness outshined David’s. Congrats.
