[Ted] How Blaine held his breath for 17 minutes? 17분간 숨 참기?

 

Hello, I'm Luke.

Have you ever tried holding your breath? I used to try it at public bathhouse when I was a kid. I think only 30 seconds I can hold my breath nowadays. However, This magician held his breath over 17 minutes. Do you think it's possible? I thought it was really crazy and I watched it. 

Unfortunately, there was no one who has a super talent for hold breath. just there was a man who can endure painful training. He explained what he was doing for this. and his experience makes me realize that I didn't know truly about challenge yet

If you watched it until ending you can see one moment that Blaine couldn't talk for a short time when he was mentioning training. I think that moment implies everything that he wants to say to us and what a professional is.

"I met with a top neurosurgeon and I asked him, how long is it possible to go without breathing, like how long could I go without air? And he said to me that anything over six minutes you have a serious risk of hypoxic brain damage.""So, I took that as a challenge, basically."...when he appeared on a TV show."I entered the sphere and by seven minutes I had gone into these awful convulsions. By 7:08, I started to blackout. I had failed on every level."

 

After he failed it, he decided to call Oprah. after 4 months he appeared Oprah show.

"I told her that I wanted to up the ante and hold my breath longer than any human being ever had."

"I realized that my real competition was the beaver."

"And I went to 17 minutes and four seconds."

 

"As a magician, I try to show things to people that seem impossible and I think magic, whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards, is pretty simple."

"It's practice, it's training and experimenting."
