#17 Perseverance

David Blaine is magician that likes to create images that make people stop and think. He also tries to challenge himself, he challenges himself in what doctors say is not possible . He was burred alive in a coffin for about a week in New York, he only had water through out the week. David Blaine does insane challenges that people can't do.  He did a challenge where he froze himself in an ice block for about 3 days and 3 nights, it was difficult for him but he thought all that was fun and he peruse himself to do more. After, he started going to different places like London where he lived in a glass box for 44 days with nothing but water. That was the hardest thing for him but he thought it was beautiful .

His next peruse was seeing how long he could hold his breath for. He thought it was the most amazing thing in his life. He was obsessed with Houdini as a child and he would compete with other kids and see who could last longer under water. As he grew into a teenage boy he was able to hold his breath for 3 minutes and 30 seconds,  he later found out that was Houdini's personal record. But then,  he heard a story about a young boy who fell through ice and was trapped under a river. The boy was underneath not breathing for about 45 minutes, the boy didn't have brain damage. David Blaine is a magician and he said anything is possible to do . He said if the boy can last that long without breathing there is a possible way he can to.

David met with a top neurosurgeon. He asked him how long can he put under water for , the surgeon said anything under 6 minutes can cause a serious risk of hypothesis brain damage, David decided to take that as a challenge . He did the challenge in a tank and he stayed there for about 7 min, the surgeon wanted to get him up because he thought David was already in risk.  around 7 minutes and 30 seconds they pulled him back up because he was blacking out. David decided to call Opera because he wanted to tell her that he can beat the record . David actually broke the record of 17 minutes and 4 seconds. He accomplished the challenge.
