David Blaine: The way I hold my breath for 17 minutes

David Blaine is a brilliant young magician who was quoted by The New York Times as "Houdini in modern times". However, his performances are not just "magic". He himself proved his philosophy that "virtual" or "real" is not important, it is important to show things that seem impossible.

David Blaine - outstanding young magician

Indeed, this magician's most famous repertoire is absolutely true performances. And now listen to him say to see what makes him so extraordinary.

You may also be wondering whether to call him a magician or not, after learning about the performances there is nothing magic for him. Typically: being buried alive for 7 days, frozen for 3 days, or holding his breath for 17 minutes . What made you decide to go from "virtual" to "real" like that?

His philosophy is simple: show things that seem impossible. But to make that simple statement is not simple at all. As he concluded at the end of his talk, there was only one way to accomplish that. It is practice, practice and experiment . to overcome pain and hardship to become a "better self". For him, that is magic.

If you say that, I think we all belong to the magic world. Because that philosophy is also true in any industry. No matter what you do, you won't be able to succeed if you don't keep practicing and experimenting, if you can't endure hardships to improve yourself. At some point, we will be the ones who perform "seemingly impossible things" on the stage of each person's life.

" As a magician, I think everything is possible. And I think if there is something someone can do, others can do it, too -" David Blaine.
