David Blaine, Drowned Alive

Blaine is submerged in a beautiful, water-filled sphere in front of Lincoln Center in New York City for seven days and seven nights, after which he attempts to break the world record of 8 minutes 58 seconds for breath holding. Risking his life in front of millions of people, Blaine failed the attempt after he lost consciousness under water and had to be pulled out just seconds shy of drowning. The Washington Post proclaimed, “Blaine represented an opportunity to see something unbelievable.” In a dramatic climax following months of training and preparation, witness a pivotal moment in Blaine’s career. In addition to the live event, Blaine visits the largest maximum-security prison in America, stunning a group of prisoners by bending jail bars in front of them. He goes to the locker room at the NBA All Star Game, blowing the minds of Kobe Bryant and the all stars with his innovative brand of street magic. The special also includes clips of Blaine’s strenuous training regimen with the Navy Seals, as well as a rare interview with legendary daredevil Evel Knievel.
