Take a deep breath. David Blaine's latest stunt, spending a week living in an 8-foot acrylic sphere filled with water, is underway.

The magician, shirtless and with an oxygen tube in his mouth, slid into his "human aquarium" at Lincoln Center on Monday. After a week, he will remove the tube and attempt to hold his breath underwater longer than the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds.

He also will try to escape from 150 pounds of chains and handcuffs during the breath-holding finale, which will air live in a two-hour ABC special, "David Blaine: Drowned Alive," at 7 p.m. Monday.

"As a kid, I always was obsessed with Houdini," says Blaine, 33. "I don't think about death, but I am prepared for it

I will be very disappointed in anyone who actually sits down and watches his "Special 2 Hour Event" on Monday night.

What a joke and overall waste of space he is.

He is pushing it to far, he will eventually kill himself during his crazy attempts to get recognized and fame, or whatever fucking reason that dude has to do these maniac stunts.

Ahem...ummm. I'm having moof author this to DVD for me but then again I think my interest goes deeper than a normal person. Most people don't know it, but I'm a street magician, so I am a HUGE fan of David Blaine. I will say this, know that some of his other "stunts" such as Buried Alive, Frozen in Time were indeed illusions. As far as this 9 minute world record attempt, I get the feeling that it must be real. I've researched before (don't ask me why) that in order to get a world record, that you can't just send a tape. There has to be official representatives there making sure it's authentic. This definately adds

Ok, go ahead and make fun of me now.

I've honestly never had any problems with DB. Its that Chris Angelheart that pisses me off!
I like watching David's simpler, yet awsome tricks!
I will agree this one sounds a bit too far pushed, but atleast he is prepared to die!
