i thought it was only possible to go 4 minutes with no air before your brain doesnt get oxygen and your body shuts down??

Read what they did, it wasnt a regular take a deep breath and thats it kinda deal. He basically sucked pure oxygen for 30 mins to oversaturate his body with oxygen, specially his blood. If his blood has alot of oxygen, he doesnt need to breath untill his body uses up all the oxygen.

I thought it was bad for your body to be oversaturated with oxygen....especially in your blood.

Then again, I was never into health/biology.

I liked it better when he did street magic stuff and not trying to break all these records. Probably all staged but it was still cool to watch.

It's only bad when there's a big bubble of oxygen rolling around through your bloodstream, otherwise if it's dissolved into your bloodstream at regular atmospheric pressure its perfectly fine.
Kind of like seals and sea lions and shit, they don't have any oxygen in their lungs when the dive down for up to an hour, they just have a metric shit-ton of oxygen stored in their blood.

Are we so desperate for entertainment, that we fall for a trickless magician? Saw a lady in half. Pull a rabbit out of a hat. Do something.

Thats pretty neat.

Although i wonder how weird that would feel...NOT having the urge to breathe, even after a minute.

I don't see anything on the Guinness news page for him. Also, I thought it was toxic to breathe pure oxygen (100% oxygen) like the article is reporting.

Make it rain
Make a boat
I make a plane
Then, I pull the plug and I make it drain
Until I feel like flowing and filling it up again..(Westside)

"Before he entered the sphere, Blaine inhaled pure oxygen through a mask to saturate his blood with oxygen and flush out carbon dioxide."

"Guinness says up to 30 minutes of so-called "oxygen hyperventilation" is allowed under its guidelines."

Doesn't really seem fair to me but hey whatever.

Let's see the world record for the longest drift, or craziest angle lol.

Exactly.

Under normal conditions most people can't even last much past a minute or two.
