In this highly personal talk from TEDMED, magician and stuntman David Blaine describes what it took to hold his breath underwater for 17 minutes -- a world record (only two minutes shorter than this entire talk!) -- and what his often death-defying work means to him. Warning: do NOT try this at home.
COMMENTARY: I've been a huge fan of David Blaine and find his magic illusions and stunts the best since Houdini. Here's one of my favorites, when David levitates himself.
If you thought David Blaine's levitation illusion was incredible, check illusionist Cris Angel levitate between two buildings.
Hope you enjoyed.
