Next Time, Hold Your Breath Longer…Like Forever

David Blaine is at it again. The “Magician” just broke the Guinness World Record for holding one’s breath. The previous record of 16 minutes 32 seconds was set back in February. Blaine used the “Oprah” show as his stage for the record-setting feat, holding his breath in a water-sphere for 17 minutes 4 seconds and forcing the studio-audience to sit through this boring event.

Blaine is the biggest joke. At first he was kind of a cool magician, now he just specializes in endurance stunts - floating in water, laying in a frozen box of ice or living in a box. What’s next? Is he going to force himself to watch a marathon of Hallmark movies on the Lifetime Channel? Blaine even said that breaking the breath-holding record was “a lifelong dream.”

Well, Blaine has inspired my lifelong dream, it involves Blaine holding his breath forever! I will say that the best thing that ever came as a result of Blaine, was this hilarious video of his Street Magic on YouTube.
