How to Hold Your Breath for 17 Minutes




David Blaine recently gave a talk at TED, in which he explained how he set the world record by holding his breath underwater on the Oprah Show for 17 minutes.

"I think if something is done by one person, it can be done by others."


"As a magician I try to show things to people that seem impossible. And I think magic, whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards, is pretty simple. It's practice, it's training and experimenting, while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be. And that's what magic is to me."
