Illusionist David Blaine has reportedly masterminding another huge public stunt, and this time he'll need some swimming trunks. If you can believe this one, Blaine is to live underwater for a week in a human-sized aquarium outside of New York's Lincoln Center.
The loony attention grabber has in the past spent 61 hours in ice and 44 days fasting in a glass box suspended over London's River Thames. This latest escapade will end after seven days and seven nights of underwater pananoramas with Blaine attempting to break the record for holding one's breath underwater.
To prepare for his newest stunt, Blaine reportedly trained with U.S. Navy Seals.
Armed with little more than an oxygen tube, a pair of pants, goggles, and a catheter, Blaine lowered himself into an 8-foot sphere filled with water shortly after 1 p.m. yesterday and began his latest stunt aimed at defying physics and wowing the public.
"I'll get out, or I'll die," Blaine, 33, told hundreds of onlookers yesterday before entering the water. The finale is to be broadcast live on ABC May 8 in a special titled "David Blaine: Drowned Alive."
