David Blaine: "Finish This"

I love this hand

David Blaine was answering reporters' questions using a magnetic pad. I wish I knew what this one asked him.

That's great. She probably asked something like, "What's your goal for this week?"

mrdarius says:

Yeah, he only went 7:08. Almost 2 minutes shy of the world record. Divers had to jump in and pull him out.

How come?
what happened?

mrdarius says:

I guess he started to black out and was blowing bubbles out his mouth. I wasn't there, so this is based on reports I've read...

Is he trying to break the guinness world record or performing magic? If latter, why the need for a respirator? :S
Posted 42 months ago. ( permalink )

mrdarius says:

He was trying to do both. For 7 days, he submerged himself underwater in a bubble. He used a respirator and survived on liquid nutrients. This stunt left him in severe pain, disoriented, and with major wrinkles. At the end of the 7 days, he tried to set the world record for holding his breath underwater for 9 minutes, while freeing himself of a set of chains (magic).

This picture was taken on his first day submerged. So, overall, he performed a stunt, magic, and an incredible feat.

I'm such a scuba geek that I looked at the large size to find out what brand of regulator he was using. (Oceanic I think?)

mrdarius says:

i'm looking at the original of a clearer shot of his equipment that i have, but haven't uploaded, brittney, and i think it's atomic or atomie?

thanks for the compliments, everyone!

BrittneyBush says:

Yep I think you're right - I'd never heard of that brand but I found it on Google.

I think the reported said "In magic you are not good. But in stunts you are good. Are you finished with magic?" And he answered,"Finish this!" and then made a one finger salute
