David Blaine Sets New World Record On The Oprah Winfrey Show

 

Magician David Blaine set a new world record today live on the Oprah Winfrey Show by holding his breath for 17 minutes and 4 seconds under water. That's insane!

The audience cheered as the 35-year-old was pulled from a water-filled sphere by divers after he broke the previous record of 16 minutes and 32 seconds (set in February by Switzerland's Peter Colat). Blaine inhaled pure oxygen through a mask before the stunt to fill his blood with oxygen, which is permitted under the rules set by Guinness World Records. He told Winfrey the record was "a lifelong dream."
