Hum Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 NEW YORK (AP) -- David Blaine began his underwater stunt Monday -- which is to last seven days, and in full public view. The 33-year-old magician will perform his latest stunt by living underwater for seven days and nights in a "human aquarium" in front of New York's Lincoln Center. He will conclude by attempting to hold his breath underwater longer than the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds. The finale of his latest stunt will air live in a two-hour ABC special on May 8 (8 p.m. EDT). The "human aquarium" in which Blaine will float is a specially built 8-foot acrylic sphere. He will receive liquid nutrition through a tube and the water will be kept at a balanced temperature to help keep his core temperature close to 98.6 degrees F. Passers-by will be able to touch the aquarium, take pictures with Blaine and communicate with him. Wonder how he will pee ... :unsure: source Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/457389-magician-begins-fishbowl-stunt-in-nyc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnmnky Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 He's "empty" he won't pee or poo. He has a catheter (sic) incase he really needs to go. "He will receive liquid nutrition through a tube" Why does he need liquid nitrogen! that'll kill him. :o Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/457389-magician-begins-fishbowl-stunt-in-nyc/#findComment-587468359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't sleep.... that's it....? the breath holding trick will be something he's taught himself.
