David Blaine to Break Record on Oprah Winfrey Show?

David Blaine has tried to perform a number of risky stunts during his career: being buried alive for seven days, encased in a closet of ice, locked in a Plexiglas case for 44 days without food and being submerged underwater for seven days and seven nights.

Upon completing the latter trick, Blaine then tried to break the world record for holding his breath underwater (8 minutes and 58 seconds). Blaine lasted 7 minutes and 33 seconds, before having to be rushed to the hospital.

Several months ago, you may remember our article about David Blaine’s next stunt - breaking the record for consecutive days without sleep. For whatever reason, however, Blaine was yet to attempt this dangerous challenge. Instead, he’s opted to try and break the underwater-breath-holding record again. But this time, he’s attempting it on television.

GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS

The good news for Blaine is that he’ll be making the attempt on Oprah Winfrey’s show on April 30th. Talk about a ton of exposure!

The bad news?

Someone else has broken the record since Blaine’s last attempt. The new record is almost double the old one at an astounding 16 minutes and 14 seconds. Let’s at least hope Oprah gives Blaine a new car for his efforts.
