A Couple of Articles on the David Blaine Stunt
Looks like David Blaine is starting to prune up a bit:
His hands are shriveled and sore, yet Blaine keeps up his fish-in-water act. “The hands have been pretty bad, but everything else is good,” Blaine told the Daily News in an interview from the bubble as he peeled off a glove to reveal his prune-like fingers … I wasn’t prepared for the hands - that’s a little bit of a scary sign because all the skin is starting to come off,” he said. “My body’s responding, but it’s also coping. It could be a lot worse.”
Expert speculate on how David Blaine will accomplish the end of his stunt, a record breath hold while escaping from chains.
He plans to round off the stunt in New York by attempting to break the world record for holding breath under water - which currently stands at eight minutes, 58 seconds - while trying to escape from 150lb (68kg) of metal chains.
It is a task few professional freedivers think is achievable with the best of conditions, let alone after a week submerged in water, while trying to escape shackles. So how will he do it?
