Underwater with David Blaine
He's been buried alive, spent nearly three days trapped in a block of ice and survived a 44-day fast while locked in a box suspended over the Thames River in London. Now, DAVID BLAINE is about to take on his biggest challenge yet!
Starting today, David will submerse himself in a "human aquarium" outside of New York's famed Lincoln Center and attempt to spend seven days underwater.
While he will be equipped with a life support system, the feat is no less death-defying, as David runs the risk of possible hypothermia and nerve damage.
But wait, there's more! After the seven days are up, David will then remove his breathing apparatus and try to hold his breath underwater longer than any other human being! (The current record is eight minutes, 58 seconds). It's all part of his new ABC special -- "David Blaine: Drowned Alive" -- airing live on May 8.
The two-hour program also chronicles David's grueling regimen in preparation for the big event as well as showing the 33-year-old performing a number of his up-close-and-personal illusions similar to the ones that first got him noticed during his ABC debut special "David Blaine: Street Magic" back in 1997.
