David Blain STUNT

[ScubaKimmie]

Apparently, the record is recognised as 8:58, so if he "hits" 9:00, I suppose Guinness will acknowledge it as the new record

He is an illusionist. He might not even be in water. It's a trick, why would anyone recognize this stunt as a world record.

Now if Guinness set up the rules, then, he probably wouldn't last 60 seconds, it would most likely involve.......water..... LOL

Well he didn't make it.

doesn't matter because he didn't make it! so much for magic and boyhood wonder

Just an update. He just failed. Made it about 7 minutes and had to be rescued by divers.

hes out..

If he would have made it I would have said it wasn't real. Now that he failed, I believe it may have been a legitimate attempt. In the end, it still is TV!!!

 

[mattroz]

i think failing was the idea (kinda) now all his stunts look legit

 

[awall54308]

One question, why wasn't the rest of his body wrinkled???

 

[ScubaKimmie]

Not making it very well may have been planned too. After all if he'd set the world record there certainly would have been some serious investigation into exactly how he did the stunt, and he's an illusionist, not a free diver.
