David Blaine invades NY


Thrill-seeking magician David Blaine's latest stunt, takes place in an 8-foot water bubble. He is expected to stay in there for a week, supported by an oxygen tube and is featured at the Lincoln Center. In a week, he will remove the tube and attempt to hold his breath 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," on May 8 (8 p.m. EDT).

If you're curious, he will be fed and relieve himself through tubes. The water is crystal clear so come by at a right time and maybe you can catch him making bathroom faces...
