As a magician, I try to create images that

Kao mađioničar, pokušavam
da stvorim prizore

koji će naterati ljude
da zastanu i zamisle se.
da zastanu i zamisle se.
00:21
I also try to challenge myself
2
6000
2000
Takođe pokušavam da radim stvari
00:23
to do things that doctors say are not possible.
3
8000
4000
za koje doktori kažu da su nemoguće.
00:27
I was buried alive in New York City in a coffin,
4
12000
5000
Bio sam živ zakopan u Njujorku u sanduku,
00:32
buried alive in a coffin in April, 1999,
5
17000
3000
u aprilu 1999,
00:35
for a week.
6
20000
2000
na nedelju dana.
00:37
I lived there with nothing but water.
7
22000
4000
Tamo sam živeo bez ičega osim vode.
00:41
And it ended up being so much fun
8
26000
3000
To je ispalo toliko zabavno
00:44
that I decided I could pursue
9
29000
2000
da sam odlučio da nastavim
00:46
doing more of these things.
10
31000
2000
da radim još ovakvih stvari.
00:48
The next one is I froze myself in a block of ice
11
33000
3000
Posle toga sam se zamrzao u komadu leda,
00:51
for three days and three nights in New York City.
12
36000
3000
na tri dana i tri noći u Njujorku.
00:54
That one was way more difficult than I had expected.
13
39000
5000
To je bilo mnogo teže
nego što sam očekivao.
nego što sam očekivao.
00:59
The one after that, I stood on top of a hundred foot pillar
14
44000
3000
Posle toga, stajao sam
na vrhu stuba od 30 metara
na vrhu stuba od 30 metara
01:02
for 36 hours.
15
47000
2000
36 sati.
01:04
I began to hallucinate so hard
16
49000
2000
Počeo sam toliko da haluciniram
01:06
that the buildings that were behind me started to look like big animal heads.
17
51000
5000
da su mi zgrade iza mene
izgledale kao velike glave životinja.
izgledale kao velike glave životinja.
01:11
So, next I went to London.
18
56000
2000
Zatim sam otišao u London.
01:13
In London I lived in a glass box for 44 days
19
58000
4000
U Londonu sam živeo
u staklenoj kutiji 44 dana
u staklenoj kutiji 44 dana
01:17
with nothing but water.
20
62000
2000
bez ičega osim vode.
01:19
It was, for me, one of the most difficult things I'd ever done,
21
64000
3000
To mi je bila jedna od najtežih stvari
koje sam uradio,
koje sam uradio,
01:22
but it was also the most beautiful.
22
67000
4000
ali takođe i najlepša.
01:26
There was so many skeptics, especially the press in London,
23
71000
3000
Bilo je toliko skeptika,
naročito štampa u Londonu,
naročito štampa u Londonu,
01:29
that they started flying cheeseburgers
24
74000
3000
da su nosili čizburgere
01:32
on helicopters around my box to tempt me.
25
77000
3000
u helikopterima oko moje kutije
da bi me iskušavali.
da bi me iskušavali.
01:35
(Laughter)
26
80000
1000
(Smeh)
01:36
So, I felt very validated
27
81000
3000
Osetio sam se vrlo vrednovanim
01:39
when the New England Journal of Medicine actually
28
84000
2000
kad je "New England Journal of Medicine"
01:41
used the research for science.
29
86000
4000
iskoristio to istraživanje za nauku.
01:45
My next pursuit was I wanted to see how long I could go without breathing,
30
90000
4000
Sledeće sam hteo da vidim koliko dugo
mogu da izdržim bez vazduha,
mogu da izdržim bez vazduha,
01:49
like how long I could survive with nothing,
31
94000
2000
koliko dugo mogu da preživim bez ičega,
01:51
not even air.
32
96000
2000
čak i vazduha.
01:53
I didn't realize that it would become
33
98000
2000
Nisam znao da će to biti
01:55
the most amazing journey of my life.
34
100000
2000
najneverovatnija avantura mog života.
02:00
As a young magician
35
105000
2000
Kao mlad mađioničar
02:02
I was obsessed with Houdini and his underwater challenges.
36
107000
4000
bio sam opsednut Hudinijem
i njegovim izazovima pod vodom.
i njegovim izazovima pod vodom.
02:06
So, I began, early on, competing against the other kids,
37
111000
3000
Rano sam počeo da se takmičim
s drugom decom
s drugom decom
02:09
seeing how long I could stay underwater
38
114000
2000
da vidim koliko dugo mogu
da ostanem pod vodom
da ostanem pod vodom
02:11
while they went up and down to breathe,
39
116000
2000
dok oni izranjaju da uzmu vazduh pet puta
02:13
you know, five times, while I stayed under on one breath.
40
118000
3000
dok ja izdržavam s jednim udahom.
02:16
By the time I was a teenager
41
121000
2000
Kao tinejdžer, već sam mogao
02:18
I was able to hold my breath for three minutes and 30 seconds.
42
123000
3000
da zadržim dah tri minuta i 30 sekundi.
02:21
I would later find out that was Houdini's personal record.
43
126000
6000
Kasnije sam saznao da je
to bio Hudinijev lični rekord.
to bio Hudinijev lični rekord.
02:27
In 1987 I heard of a story
44
132000
3000
Godine 1987, čuo sam priču
02:30
about a boy that fell through ice
45
135000
3000
o dečaku koji je propao kroz led na reci
02:33
and was trapped under a river.
46
138000
2000
i ostao zarobljen ispod.
02:35
He was underneath, not breathing for 45 minutes.
47
140000
6000
Bio je dole, bez daha, 45 minuta.
02:41
When the rescue workers came
48
146000
2000
Kad su spasioci došli,
02:43
they resuscitated him and there was no brain damage.
49
148000
3000
oživeli su ga
i nije bilo oštećenja mozga.
i nije bilo oštećenja mozga.
02:46
His core temperature had dropped to 77 degrees.
50
151000
5000
Njegova telesna temperatura
je pala na 25 stepeni celzijusa.
je pala na 25 stepeni celzijusa.
02:51
As a magician, I think everything is possible.
51
156000
3000
Kao mađioničar, mislim da je sve moguće.
02:54
And I think if something is done by one person
52
159000
2000
Mislim da ako je jedan čovek
nešto uradio,
nešto uradio,
02:56
it can be done by others.
53
161000
3000
to mogu da urade i drugi.
02:59
I started to think, if the boy could survive
54
164000
3000
Počeo sam da razmišljam:
ako je dečak mogao da preživi
ako je dečak mogao da preživi
03:02
without breathing for that long,
55
167000
2000
bez disanja toliko dugo,
03:04
there must be a way that I could do it.
56
169000
2000
mora da i ja to mogu nekako to da uradim.
03:06
So, I met with a top neurosurgeon.
57
171000
3000
Otišao sam kod vrhunskog neurohirurga,
03:09
And I asked him, how long is it possible
58
174000
2000
i pitao ga koliko dugo je moguće
ne disati,
ne disati,
03:11
to go without breathing, like how long could I go without air?
59
176000
3000
koliko dugo mogu da budem bez vazduha?
03:14
And he said to me that anything over six minutes
60
179000
3000
Rekao mi je da sve preko šest minuta
03:17
you have a serious risk
61
182000
2000
predstavlja ozbiljan rizik
03:19
of hypoxic brain damage.
62
184000
4000
za dobijanje hipoksičnog oštećenja mozga.
03:23
So, I took that as a challenge, basically.
63
188000
3000
To sam shvatio kao izazov.
03:26
(Laughter)
64
191000
1000
(Smeh)
03:27
My first try, I figured that I could do something similar,
65
192000
5000
Moj prvi pokušaj je bio
da uradim nešto slično.
da uradim nešto slično.
03:32
and I created a water tank,
66
197000
4000
Konstruisao sam rezervoar s vodom
03:36
and I filled it with ice and freezing cold water.
67
201000
3000
i napunio ga ledom i ledenom vodom.
03:39
And I stayed inside of that water tank
68
204000
3000
Ušao sam u taj rezervoar
03:42
hoping my core temperature would start to drop.
69
207000
3000
nadajući se da će temperatura
početi da mi pada.
početi da mi pada.
03:45
And I was shivering. In my first attempt to hold my breath
70
210000
3000
I tresao sam se.
U prvom pokušaju da zadržim dah
U prvom pokušaju da zadržim dah
03:48
I couldn't even last a minute.
71
213000
2000
nisam izdržao čak ni minut.
03:50
So, I realized that was completely not going to work.
72
215000
3000
I shvatio sam da to neće funkcionisati.
03:53
So, I went to talk to a doctor friend,
73
218000
4000
Otišao sam kod prijatelja koji je lekar
03:57
and I asked him how could I do that?
74
222000
6000
i pitao ga kako bih mogao to da izvedem?
04:03
"I want to hold my breath for a really long time. How could it be done?"
75
228000
3000
"Hoću da izdržim bez daha veoma dugo.
Kako bi to moglo da se izvede?"
Kako bi to moglo da se izvede?"
04:06
And he said, "David, you're a magician,
76
231000
3000
Rekao je: "Dejvide, ti si mađioničar.
04:09
create the illusion of not breathing, it will be much easier."
77
234000
3000
Napravi iluziju zadržavanja daha,
biće ti mnogo lakše."
biće ti mnogo lakše."
04:12
(Laughter)
78
237000
4000
(Smeh)
04:16
So, he came up with this idea
79
241000
2000
Smislio je ideju
04:18
of creating a rebreather,
80
243000
2000
da napravim aparat za disanje
04:20
with a CO2 scrubber,
81
245000
2000
sa pretvaračem ugljen-dioksida,
04:22
which was basically a tube from Home Depot,
82
247000
5000
što je u suštini obična cev iz prodavnice
04:27
with a balloon duct-taped to it,
83
252000
3000
sa balonom zalepljenim selotejpom
04:30
that he thought we could put inside of me,
84
255000
3000
koji smo hteli da ubacimo u mene,
04:33
and somehow be able to circulate the air and rebreathe
85
258000
4000
tako da nekako mogu da dišem
04:37
with this thing in me.
86
262000
2000
sa ovom napravom u sebi.
04:39
This is a little hard to watch.
87
264000
4000
Ovo je malo teško za gledanje.
04:43
But this is that attempt.
88
268000
3000
Ali to je bio taj pokušaj.
04:52
So, that clearly wasn't going to work.
89
277000
2000
Ovo, očigledno, nije funkcionisalo.
04:54
(Laughter)
90
279000
4000
(Smeh)
04:58
Then I actually started thinking about
91
283000
2000
Onda sam počeo da razmišljam
05:00
liquid breathing.
92
285000
2000
o tečnom disanju.
05:02
There is a chemical that's called perflubron.
93
287000
3000
Postoji hemikalija
koja se zove perflubron.
koja se zove perflubron.
05:05
And it's so high in oxygen levels
94
290000
2000
Ona ima toliko visok nivo kiseonika
05:07
that in theory you could breathe it.
95
292000
2000
da bi, u teoriji, mogla da se udiše.
05:09
So, I got my hands on that chemical,
96
294000
3000
Nabavio sam tu hemikaliju,
05:12
filled the sink up with it, and stuck my face in the sink
97
297000
3000
napunio sudoperu njom
i zagnjurio glavu
i zagnjurio glavu
05:15
and tried to breathe that in,
98
300000
2000
i pokušao da je udišem,
05:17
which was really impossible.
99
302000
2000
što je bilo nemoguće.
05:19
It's basically like trying to breathe, as a doctor said,
100
304000
3000
Kako je doktor rekao:
to je kao da pokušavate da dišete
to je kao da pokušavate da dišete
05:22
while having an elephant standing on your chest.
101
307000
2000
dok vam slon stoji na grudima.
05:24
So, that idea disappeared.
102
309000
2000
Tako da je ta ideja nestala.
05:26
Then I started thinking,
103
311000
2000
Onda sam počeo da razmišljam,
05:28
would it be possible to hook up a heart/lung bypass machine
104
313000
5000
da li bi bilo moguće prikačiti
srčani/plućni bajpas
srčani/plućni bajpas
05:33
and have a surgery where it was a tube going into my artery,
105
318000
3000
i operacijom ubaciti cev u moju arteriju
05:36
and then appear to not breathe while they were oxygenating my blood?
106
321000
4000
da izgleda kao da ne dišem, dok se
u stvari moja krv puni kiseonikom?
u stvari moja krv puni kiseonikom?
05:40
Which was another insane idea, obviously.
107
325000
4000
To je očigledno bila još jedna luda ideja.
05:44
Then I thought about the craziest idea of all the ideas:
108
329000
5000
Onda mi je pala na pamet
najluđa ideja od svih:
najluđa ideja od svih:
05:49
to actually do it.
109
334000
2000
da stvarno to uradim.
05:51
(Laughter)
110
336000
1000
(Smeh)
05:52
To actually try to hold my breath past the point
111
337000
3000
Da probam da zadržim dah preko granice
05:55
that doctors would consider you brain dead.
112
340000
5000
gde lekari konstatuju moždanu smrt.
06:00
So, I started researching
113
345000
3000
Tako sam počeo da proučavam
06:03
into pearl divers.
114
348000
2000
lovce na bisere.
06:05
You know, because they go down for four minutes on one breath.
115
350000
3000
Zato što oni zaranjaju na 4 minuta
sa jednim udahom.
sa jednim udahom.
06:08
And when I was researching pearl divers, I found the world
116
353000
2000
I dok sam ih proučavao, otkrio sam svet
06:10
of free-diving.
117
355000
2000
ronjenja na dah.
06:12
It was the most amazing thing that I ever discovered, pretty much.
118
357000
5000
To je najneverovatnija stvar
koju sam ikada otkrio.
koju sam ikada otkrio.
06:17
There is many different aspects to free-diving.
119
362000
3000
Ima mnogo različitih aspekata
ronjenja na dah.
ronjenja na dah.
06:20
There is depth records, where people go as deep as they can.
120
365000
3000
Postoje dubinski rekordi,
gde ljudi zaranjaju što dublje mogu.
gde ljudi zaranjaju što dublje mogu.
06:23
And then there is static apnea.
121
368000
2000
Zatim, postoji statička apnea.
06:25
That's holding your breath as long as you can
122
370000
3000
To je zadržavanje daha što duže,
06:28
in one place without moving.
123
373000
2000
u jednom mestu, bez pomeranja.
06:30
That was the one that I studied.
124
375000
2000
To je ono što sam proučavao.
06:32
The first thing that I learned is when you're holding your breath
125
377000
3000
Prvo što sam naučio
je da kada zadržavate dah,
je da kada zadržavate dah,
06:35
you should never move at all; that wastes energy.
126
380000
3000
ne bi trebalo da se uopšte pomerate,
jer to troši energiju.
jer to troši energiju.
06:38
And that depletes oxygen,
127
383000
2000
To crpi kiseonik
06:40
and it builds up CO2 in your blood. So, I learned never to move.
128
385000
4000
i povećava CO2 u vašoj krvi.
Tako sam naučio da se ne pomeram.
Tako sam naučio da se ne pomeram.
06:44
And I learned how to slow my heart rate down.
129
389000
3000
I naučio sam kako da
usporim otkucaje srca.
usporim otkucaje srca.
Trebalo je da ostanem savršeno miran
i da se samo opustim,
i da se samo opustim,
06:47
I had to remain perfectly still and just relax
130
392000
2000
06:49
and think that I wasn't in my body,
131
394000
2000
da razmišljam da nisam u svom telu
06:51
and just control that.
132
396000
2000
i da to kontrolišem.
06:53
And then I learned how to purge.
133
398000
2000
A onda sam naučio kako da se pročistim.
06:55
Purging is basically hyperventilating.
134
400000
2000
Pročišćavanje je u suštini
hiperventilacija.
hiperventilacija.
06:57
You blow in and out ...
135
402000
3000
Udahnete i izdahnete...
07:03
You do that, you get lightheaded, you get tingling.
136
408000
3000
Kad ovo radite,
javljaju se vrtoglavica i žmarci
javljaju se vrtoglavica i žmarci
07:06
And you're really ridding your body of CO2.
137
411000
2000
i eliminiše se CO2 iz vašeg tela.
07:08
So, when you hold your breath it's infinitely easier.
138
413000
4000
Tako da, kad zadržavate dah,
beskonačno je lakše.
beskonačno je lakše.
07:12
Then I learned that you have to take a huge breath,
139
417000
4000
Onda sam naučio da treba
da udahnete duboko,
da udahnete duboko,
07:16
and just hold and relax and never let any air out,
140
421000
4000
da se opustite i ne puštate vazduh
07:20
and just hold and relax through all the pain.
141
425000
3000
i da ostanete opušteni dok traje bol.
07:23
Every morning, this is for months,
142
428000
3000
Svakog dana tokom nekoliko meseci,
07:26
I would wake up and the first thing that I would do
143
431000
2000
budio sam se i prvo što bih uradio
07:28
is I would hold my breath
144
433000
3000
bilo je to da zadržavam dah.
07:31
for, out of 52 minutes,
145
436000
2000
Od 52 minuta,
07:33
I would hold my breath for 44 minutes.
146
438000
3000
zadržavao bih dah 44 minuta.
07:36
So, basically what that means is I would purge,
147
441000
2000
To znači da sam se pročišćavao.
07:38
I'd breath really hard for a minute.
148
443000
2000
Disao sam ubrzano jedan minut,
07:40
And I would hold, immediately after, for five and half minutes.
149
445000
3000
i odmah posle toga,
izdržavao sam pet i po minuta.
izdržavao sam pet i po minuta.
07:43
Then I would breath again for a minute,
150
448000
2000
Onda sam opet disao jedan minut,
07:45
purging as hard as I can,
151
450000
2000
pročišćavajući se što sam više mogao,
07:47
then immediately after that I would hold again for five and half minutes.
152
452000
3000
i opet zadržavao dah pet i po minuta.
07:50
I would repeat this process eight times in a row.
153
455000
3000
Ponavljao sam taj proces
osam puta zaredom.
osam puta zaredom.
07:53
Out of 52 minutes you're only breathing for eight minutes.
154
458000
4000
Od 52 minuta, dišete samo osam minuta.
07:57
At the end of that you're completely fried, your brain.
155
462000
3000
Posle toga, vaš mozak
je totalno iscrpljen.
je totalno iscrpljen.
08:00
You feel like you're walking around in a daze.
156
465000
2000
Osećate se kao da ste ošamućeni
08:02
And you have these awful headaches.
157
467000
2000
i imate užasne glavobolje.
08:04
Basically, I'm not the best person to talk to when I'm doing that stuff.
158
469000
4000
Sve u svemu, nisam najbolja osoba
za razgovor kad radim to.
za razgovor kad radim to.
08:08
I started learning about the world-record holder.
159
473000
2000
Onda sam čuo za svetskog rekordera.
08:10
His name is Tom Sietas.
160
475000
2000
On se zove Tom Zitas.
08:12
And this guy is perfectly built for holding his breath.
161
477000
4000
Ovaj tip je savršeno građen
za zadržavanje daha.
za zadržavanje daha.
08:16
He's six foot four. He's 160 pounds.
162
481000
4000
Visok je 195cm. Težak 72kg.
08:20
And his total lung capacity
163
485000
2000
A ima kapacitet pluća
08:22
is twice the size of an average person.
164
487000
3000
duplo veći od prosečne osobe.
08:25
I'm six foot one, and fat.
165
490000
3000
Ja sam visok 185cm, i debeo.
08:28
We'll say big-boned.
166
493000
2000
Reći ćemo da imam teške kosti.
08:30
(Laughter)
167
495000
2000
(Smeh)
08:32
I had to drop 50 pounds in three months.
168
497000
4000
Morao sam da smršam 20kg za tri meseca.
08:36
So, everything that I put into my body
169
501000
2000
Sve što sam stavljao u sebe
08:38
I considered as medicine.
170
503000
2000
smatrao sam za lek.
08:40
Every bit of food was exactly what it was for its nutritional value.
171
505000
5000
Svaki delić hrane je imao
odgovarajuću nutritivnu vrednost.
odgovarajuću nutritivnu vrednost.
08:45
I ate really small controlled portions
172
510000
2000
Jeo sam vrlo male, kontrolisane porcije
08:47
throughout the day.
173
512000
2000
celog dana
08:49
And I started to really adapt my body.
174
514000
3000
i počeo sam da prilagođavam svoje telo.
08:52
(Laughter)
175
517000
6000
[Rezultati mogu da se razlikuju
u zavisnosti od osobe]
u zavisnosti od osobe]
(Smeh)
08:58
The thinner I was, the longer I was able to hold my breath.
176
523000
3000
Što sam mršaviji bio,
to sam duže mogao da zadržim dah.
to sam duže mogao da zadržim dah.
09:01
And by eating so well and training so hard,
177
526000
4000
I pošto sam tako dobro jeo i trenirao,
09:05
my resting heart-rate dropped to 38 beats per minute.
178
530000
3000
otkucaji srca u mirovanju su mi se
smanjili na 38 u minutu.
smanjili na 38 u minutu.
09:08
Which is lower than most Olympic athletes.
179
533000
4000
Što je manje nego kod većine
sportista olimpijaca.
sportista olimpijaca.
09:12
In four months of training I was able to hold my breath
180
537000
2000
Posle 4 meseca treninga,
mogao sam da zadržim dah
mogao sam da zadržim dah
09:14
for over seven minutes.
181
539000
3000
preko sedam minuta.
09:17
I wanted to try holding my breath everywhere.
182
542000
3000
Hteo sam da zadržavam dah svuda.
09:20
I wanted to try it in the most extreme situations
183
545000
2000
Hteo sam to da probam
u najekstremnijim situacijama
u najekstremnijim situacijama
09:22
to see if I could slow my heart rate down
184
547000
3000
da vidim da li mogu
da usporim otkucaje srca
da usporim otkucaje srca
09:25
under duress.
185
550000
2000
pod prinudom.
09:27
(Laughter)
186
552000
3000
(Smeh)
09:30
I decided that I was going to break the world record
187
555000
3000
Odlučio sam da oborim svetski rekord
09:33
live on prime-time television.
188
558000
2000
uživo u udarnom terminu na televiziji.
09:35
The world record was eight minutes and 58 seconds,
189
560000
4000
Svetski rekord od 8 minuta i 58 sekundi
je držao Tom Zitas, o kom sam vam pričao,
sa džinovskim plućima.
sa džinovskim plućima.
09:39
held by Tom Sietas, that guy with the whale lungs I told you about.
190
564000
3000
09:42
(Laughter)
191
567000
2000
(Smeh)
09:44
I assumed that I could put a water tank at Lincoln center
192
569000
3000
Pretpostavio sam da mogu
da stavim cisternu u Linkoln centar
da stavim cisternu u Linkoln centar
09:47
and if I stayed there a week not eating,
193
572000
4000
i ako bih ostao tamo nedelju dana
da ne jedem ništa,
da ne jedem ništa,
09:51
I would get comfortable in that situation
194
576000
2000
bio bih komotan u toj situaciji
09:53
and I would slow my metabolism,
195
578000
2000
i usporio bih metabolizam,
09:55
which I was sure would help me hold my breath
196
580000
2000
što bi mi sigurno pomoglo da zadržim dah
09:57
longer than I had been able to do it.
197
582000
2000
duže nego što sam inače mogao.
09:59
I was completely wrong.
198
584000
3000
Uopšte nisam bio u pravu.
10:02
I entered the sphere a week before the scheduled air date.
199
587000
4000
Ušao sam u loptu nedelju dana
pre zakazanog emitovanja.
pre zakazanog emitovanja.
10:06
And I thought everything seemed to be on track.
200
591000
4000
I mislio sam da sve izgleda
da ide po planu.
da ide po planu.
10:10
Two days before my big breath hold attempt, for the record,
201
595000
4000
Dva dana pre mog pokušaja
zadržavanja daha,
zadržavanja daha,
10:14
the producers of my television special
202
599000
2000
producenti mog TV specijala
10:16
thought that just watching somebody
203
601000
3000
su pomislili da je gledati nekoga
10:19
holding their breath, and almost drowning,
204
604000
2000
ko zadržava dah, i skoro se davi,
10:21
is too boring for television.
205
606000
3000
suviše dosadno za televiziju.
10:24
(Laughter)
206
609000
2000
(Smeh)
10:26
So, I had to add handcuffs,
207
611000
2000
Tako da sam morao da dodam lisice
10:28
while holding my breath, to escape from.
208
613000
3000
kojih ću se oslobađati dok zadržavam dah.
10:31
This was a critical mistake.
209
616000
3000
To je bila ključna greška.
10:34
Because of the movement I was wasting oxygen.
210
619000
4000
Zbog pokretanja, trošio sam kiseonik.
10:38
And by seven minutes I had gone
211
623000
2000
I u sedmom minutu
10:40
into these awful convulsions.
212
625000
4000
dobio sam užasne grčeve.
10:44
By 7:08 I started to black out.
213
629000
5000
Na 7:08, počeo sam da gubim svest.
10:49
And by seven minutes and 30 seconds
214
634000
3000
i do 7 minuta i 30 sekundi,
10:52
they had to pull my body out and bring me back.
215
637000
4000
morali su da me izvuku i da me ožive.
11:00
I had failed on every level.
216
645000
2000
Omašio sam na svim nivoima.
11:02
(Laughter)
217
647000
2000
(Smeh)
11:04
So, naturally, the only way out of the slump
218
649000
3000
Prirodno, jedni način kog sam se setio
11:07
that I could think of
219
652000
2000
da opravdam poraz
11:09
was, I decided to call Oprah.
220
654000
4000
bio je da pozovem Opru.
11:13
(Laughter)
221
658000
3000
(Smeh)
11:16
I told her that I wanted to up the ante
222
661000
2000
Rekao sam joj da hoću da povisim ulog
11:18
and hold my breath longer than any human being ever had.
223
663000
4000
i pokušam da zadržim dah
duže nego iko ikada.
duže nego iko ikada.
11:22
This was a different record. This was a pure O2
224
667000
3000
Ovaj put je to bio drugačiji rekord.
To je rekord u statičkoj apnei
sa čistim kiseonikom,
sa čistim kiseonikom,
11:25
static apnea record that Guinness
225
670000
2000
11:27
had set the world record at 13 minutes.
226
672000
4000
koji je po Ginisu 13 minuta.
11:31
So, basically you breath pure O2 first,
227
676000
3000
Dakle, prvo udišete čist kiseonik
11:34
oxygenating your body, flushing out CO2,
228
679000
2000
i punite organizam njime,
dok izbacujete CO2
dok izbacujete CO2
11:36
and you are able to hold much longer.
229
681000
4000
i možete mnogo duže da izdržite.
11:40
I realized that my real competition
230
685000
3000
Shvatio sam da mi je prava konkurencija
11:43
was the beaver.
231
688000
2000
u stvari, dabar.
11:45
(Laughter)
232
690000
7000
(Smeh)
11:52
In January of '08
233
697000
2000
U januaru 2008,
11:54
Oprah gave me four months to prepare and train.
234
699000
3000
Opra mi je dala četiri meseca
da se pripremim i utreniram.
da se pripremim i utreniram.
11:57
So, I would sleep in a hypoxic tent every night.
235
702000
3000
Spavao sam u hipoksičnom šatoru
svake noći.
svake noći.
12:00
A hypoxic tent is a tent that simulates
236
705000
2000
Hipoksični šator je šator koji simulira
12:02
altitude at 15,000 feet.
237
707000
3000
nadmorsku visinu od 4.500 metara.
12:05
So, it's like base camp Everest.
238
710000
2000
Kao bazni logor na Mont Everestu.
12:07
What that does is, you start building up
239
712000
3000
Od toga počinje da vam se povećava
12:10
the red blood cell count in your body,
240
715000
3000
broj crvenih krvnih zrnaca u organizmu,
12:13
which helps you carry oxygen better.
241
718000
3000
što vam pomaže da bolje
prenosite kiseonik.
prenosite kiseonik.
12:16
Every morning, again, after getting out of that tent
242
721000
4000
Svakog jutra iznova, kad izađete iz šatora
12:20
your brain is completely wiped out.
243
725000
3000
mozak vam je potpuno razbijen.
12:23
My first attempt on pure O2, I was able to go up to 15 minutes.
244
728000
4000
U mom prvom pokušaju sa čistim O2
uspeo sam da izdržim 15 minuta.
uspeo sam da izdržim 15 minuta.
12:27
So, it was a pretty big success.
245
732000
3000
Tako da je to bio prilično veliki uspeh.
12:30
The neurosurgeon pulled me out of the water
246
735000
2000
Neurohirurg me je izvukao iz vode
12:32
because in his mind, at 15 minutes
247
737000
2000
jer za njega, u 15. minutu
12:34
your brain is done, you're brain dead.
248
739000
3000
vaš mozak je mrtav.
12:37
So, he pulled me up, and I was fine.
249
742000
3000
Izvukao me je i bio sam dobro.
12:40
There was one person there that was definitely not impressed.
250
745000
5000
Postojala je jedna osoba
koja nije bila impresionirana.
koja nije bila impresionirana.
12:45
It was my ex-girlfriend. While I was breaking the record underwater
251
750000
4000
Moja bivša devojka.
Dok sam obarao rekord pod vodom
Dok sam obarao rekord pod vodom
12:49
for the first time, she was sifting through my Blackberry,
252
754000
2000
prvi put, ona je proveravala moj blekberi
12:51
checking all my messages.
253
756000
2000
i gledala moje poruke.
12:53
(Laughter)
254
758000
3000
(Smeh)
12:56
My brother had a picture of it. It is really ...
255
761000
2000
Moj brat ju je uslikao. Stvarno je bilo...
12:58
(Laughter)
256
763000
5000
(Smeh)
13:03
I then announced that I was going to go for
257
768000
3000
Zatim sam objavio da želim da oborim
13:06
Sietas' record, publicly.
258
771000
2000
Zitasov rekord, javno.
13:08
And what he did in response,
259
773000
2000
A on je, kao odgovor na to,
13:10
is he went on Regis and Kelly,
260
775000
3000
otišao kod Redžisa i Keli
13:13
and broke his old record.
261
778000
2000
i oborio svoj stari rekord.
13:15
Then his main competitor went out and broke his record.
262
780000
4000
Onda je njegov glavni konkurent
oborio njegov rekord.
oborio njegov rekord.
13:19
So, he suddenly pushed the record up to
263
784000
2000
I odjednom je podigao rekord
13:21
16 minutes and 32 seconds.
264
786000
3000
na 16 minuta i 32 sekunde.
13:24
Which was three minutes longer than I had prepared.
265
789000
3000
Što je bilo tri minuta duže od onoga
na šta sam ja bio spreman.
na šta sam ja bio spreman.
13:27
You know, it was longer than the record.
266
792000
3000
Bilo je duže od rekorda.
13:30
Now, I wanted to get the Science Times to document this.
267
795000
4000
Onda sam želeo da "Sajens Tajms"
dokumentuje to.
dokumentuje to.
13:34
I wanted to get them to do a piece on it.
268
799000
2000
Hteo sam da im javim
da objave članak o tome.
da objave članak o tome.
13:36
So, I did what any person
269
801000
4000
I uradio sam ono što bi uradio
13:40
seriously pursuing scientific advancement would do.
270
805000
3000
svako ko ozbiljno prati naučni napredak.
13:43
I walked into the New York Times offices
271
808000
3000
Ušao sam u kancelarije Njujork Tajmsa
13:46
and did card tricks to everybody.
272
811000
2000
i pokazivao svima trikove s kartama.
13:48
(Laughter)
273
813000
4000
(Smeh)
13:52
So, I don't know if it was the magic or the lore of the Cayman islands,
274
817000
3000
Ne znam da li je bilo do magije
ili sujeverja s Kajmanskih ostrva,
ili sujeverja s Kajmanskih ostrva,
13:55
but John Tierney flew down
275
820000
2000
ali Džon Tirni je seo
13:57
and did a piece on the seriousness of breath-holding.
276
822000
3000
i napisao članak o ozbiljnosti
zadržavanja daha.
zadržavanja daha.
14:00
While he was there I tried to impress him, of course.
277
825000
2000
Dok je bio tamo, pokušao sam
da ga impresioniram
da ga impresioniram
14:02
And I did a dive down to 160 feet,
278
827000
3000
i zaronio sam na 50 metara,
14:05
which is basically the height of a 16 story building,
279
830000
4000
što je visina zgrade od 16 spratova,
14:09
and as I was coming up, I blacked out underwater,
280
834000
3000
i dok sam izranjao,
onesvestio sam se pod vodom,
onesvestio sam se pod vodom,
14:12
which is really dangerous; that's how you drown.
281
837000
2000
što je zaista opasno;
tako možete da se udavite.
tako možete da se udavite.
14:14
Luckily Kirk had seen me
282
839000
2000
Srećom Kirk me je video
14:16
and he swam over and pulled me up.
283
841000
2000
i doplivao je i izvukao me.
14:18
So, I started full focus.
284
843000
3000
Onda sam se potpuno usredsredio.
14:21
I completely trained to get my breath hold time up
285
846000
3000
Potpuno sam uvežbao da zadržim dah
14:24
for what I needed to do.
286
849000
2000
koliko je trebalo.
14:26
But there was no way to prepare for the live television aspect of it,
287
851000
3000
Ali nije bilo moguće pripremiti se
za televizijski aspekt toga:
za televizijski aspekt toga:
14:29
being on Oprah.
288
854000
2000
biti uživo kod Opre.
14:31
But in practice, I would do it face down, floating on the pool.
289
856000
4000
Vežbao sam s licem nadole,
plutajući u bazenu.
plutajući u bazenu.
14:35
But for TV they wanted me to be upright
290
860000
4000
Ali za TV su hteli da stojim uspravno
14:39
so they could see my face, basically.
291
864000
3000
da bi mi mogli da mi vide lice.
14:42
The other problem was
292
867000
2000
Drugi problem je bio taj
14:44
the suit was so buoyant
293
869000
2000
što je odelo bilo toliko plutajuće
14:46
that they had to strap my feet in to keep me from floating up.
294
871000
3000
da su morali da mi vežu noge
da ne bih isplutao nagore.
da ne bih isplutao nagore.
14:49
So, I had to use my legs to hold my feet into the straps that were loose,
295
874000
4000
Tako da sam morao da držim noge
u kaiševima koji su bili labavi,
u kaiševima koji su bili labavi,
14:53
which was a real problem for me.
296
878000
3000
što mi je bio veliki problem.
14:56
That made me extremely nervous,
297
881000
2000
To me je činilo izuzetno nervoznim
14:58
raising the heart rate.
298
883000
2000
i ubrzavalo otkucaje srca.
15:00
Then, what they also did was,
299
885000
2000
Onda, još nešto što nismo nikad uradili,
15:02
which we never did before, is there was a heart-rate monitor.
300
887000
3000
tu je bio monitor
za merenje otkucaja srca.
za merenje otkucaja srca.
15:05
And it was right next to the sphere.
301
890000
3000
Bio je odmah pored lopte.
15:08
So, every time my heart would beat I'd hear the beep-beep-beep-beep,
302
893000
3000
I svaki put kad bi mi otkucalo srce,
čuo bih bip-bip-bip-bip,
čuo bih bip-bip-bip-bip,
15:11
you know, the ticking, really loud.
303
896000
2000
baš glasno kucanje.
15:13
Which was making me more nervous.
304
898000
2000
Što me je činilo još nervoznijim.
15:15
And there is no way to slow my heart rate down.
305
900000
3000
A nema načina da usporim otkucaje srca.
15:18
So, normally
306
903000
3000
Obično bih počeo
15:21
I would start at 38 beats per minute,
307
906000
3000
sa 38 otkucaja u minutu
15:24
and while holding my breath it would drop to 12 beats per minute,
308
909000
3000
i tokom zadržavanja daha,
pao bih na 12 otkucaja u minutu,
pao bih na 12 otkucaja u minutu,
15:27
which is pretty unusual.
309
912000
2000
što je prilično neobično.
15:29
(Laughter)
310
914000
4000
(Smeh)
15:35
This time it started at 120 beats,
311
920000
4000
Ovaj put je počelo sa 120 otkucaja
15:39
and it never went down.
312
924000
2000
i nije se više spuštalo.
15:41
I spent the first five minutes underwater
313
926000
3000
Proveo sam prvih 5 minuta pod vodom
15:44
desperately trying to slow my heart rate down.
314
929000
3000
očajnički pokušavajući
da usporim otkucaje.
da usporim otkucaje.
Samo sam stajao tamo i mislio:
"Moram da ga usporim,
"Moram da ga usporim,
15:47
I was just sitting there thinking, "I've got to slow this down.
315
932000
2000
15:49
I'm going to fail, I'm going to fail."
316
934000
2000
neću uspeti, neću uspeti."
15:51
And I was getting more nervous.
317
936000
2000
I postajao sam još nervozniji.
15:53
And the heart rate just kept going up and up,
318
938000
2000
A otkucaji su se samo ubrzavali,
15:55
all the way up to 150 beats.
319
940000
2000
sve do 150 otkucaja.
16:00
Basically it's the same thing that created my downfall at Lincoln Center.
320
945000
3000
To je ista stvar koja je bila zaslužna
za debakl u Linkoln centru.
za debakl u Linkoln centru.
16:03
It was a waste of O2.
321
948000
3000
Gubljenje kiseonika.
16:06
When I made it to the halfway mark, at eight minutes,
322
951000
2000
Kad sam stigao do polovine, do 8 minuta,
16:08
I was 100 percent certain
323
953000
3000
bio sam 100 posto siguran
16:11
that I was not going to be able to make this.
324
956000
2000
da neću uspeti.
16:13
There was no way for me to do it.
325
958000
2000
Nije bilo načina da to uradim.
16:15
So, I figured, Oprah had dedicated an hour
326
960000
4000
Pa sam pomislio:
Opra je posvetila sat vremena
Opra je posvetila sat vremena
16:19
to doing this breath hold thing, if I had cracked early
327
964000
3000
ovoj predstavi zadržavanja daha,
i ako bih rano doživeo krah,
i ako bih rano doživeo krah,
16:22
it would be a whole show about how depressed I am.
328
967000
3000
cela emisija bi bila o tome
kako sam depresivan.
kako sam depresivan.
16:25
(Laughter)
329
970000
2000
(Smeh)
16:27
So, I figured I'm better off just fighting
330
972000
2000
Pa sam pomislio da je bolje da se borim
16:29
and staying there until I black out,
331
974000
2000
i ostanem tamo dok se ne onesvestim,
16:31
at least then they can pull me out and take care of me and all that.
332
976000
3000
barem mogu da me izvuku
i pruže mi pomoć i sve to.
i pruže mi pomoć i sve to.
16:34
(Laughter)
333
979000
4000
(Smeh)
16:38
I kept pushing to 10 minutes. At 10 minutes
334
983000
2000
Naprezao sam se do 10. minuta.
U 10. minutu počinjete da osećate
16:40
you start getting all these really strong
335
985000
3000
vrlo jake žmarce u prstima
na rukama i nogama.
na rukama i nogama.
16:43
tingling sensations in your fingers and toes.
336
988000
2000
16:45
And I knew that that was blood shunting,
337
990000
2000
Znao sam da je to oticanje krvi,
16:47
when the blood rushes away from your extremities
338
992000
2000
kada krv odlazi iz ekstremiteta
16:49
to provide oxygen to your vital organs.
339
994000
3000
da bi snabdela kiseonikom vitalne organe.
16:55
At 11 minutes I started feeling
340
1000000
2000
U 11. minutu počeo sam da osećam
16:57
throbbing sensations in my legs,
341
1002000
2000
pulsiranje u nogama
16:59
and my lips started to feel really strange.
342
1004000
4000
i imao sam čudan osećaj u usnama.
17:03
At minute 12 I started to have ringing in my ears,
343
1008000
4000
U 12. minutu počelo je
da mi zvoni u ušima
da mi zvoni u ušima
17:07
and I started to feel my arm going numb.
344
1012000
3000
i počela je da mi trne ruka.
17:10
And I'm a hypochondriac, and I remember arm numb means heart attack.
345
1015000
3000
A ja sam hipohondar, i setio sam se
da utrnutost znači srčani udar.
da utrnutost znači srčani udar.
17:13
So, I started to really get really paranoid.
346
1018000
3000
I počeo sam da paranoišem.
17:16
Then at 13 minutes, maybe because of the hypochondria.
347
1021000
3000
Zatim, u 13. minutu,
možda zbog hipohondrije,
možda zbog hipohondrije,
17:19
I started feeling pains all over my chest.
348
1024000
5000
počeo sam da osećam bol u grudima.
17:24
It was awful.
349
1029000
2000
Bilo je grozno.
17:26
At 14 minutes,
350
1031000
2000
U 14. minutu
17:28
I had these awful contractions,
351
1033000
2000
imao sam užasne kontrakcije,
17:30
like this urge to breathe.
352
1035000
2000
kao onaj poriv za disanjem.
17:32
(Laughter)
353
1037000
8000
(Smeh)
17:40
At 15 minutes I was suffering
354
1045000
2000
U 15. minutu sam imao
17:42
major O2 deprivation to the heart.
355
1047000
3000
veliki prekid dotoka kiseonika u srce.
17:45
And I started having ischemia to the heart.
356
1050000
3000
Imao sam ishemiju srca.
17:48
My heartbeat would go from 120,
357
1053000
2000
Otkucaji srca su mi išli od 120
17:50
to 50, to 150, to 40, to 20, to 150 again.
358
1055000
6000
do 50, do 150, 40, 20, pa ponovo do 150.
17:56
It would skip a beat.
359
1061000
2000
Preskočilo bi otkucaj,
pa bi krenulo, pa stalo.
pa bi krenulo, pa stalo.
17:58
It would start. It would stop. And I felt all this.
360
1063000
2000
Sve sam to osećao.
18:00
And I was sure that I was going to have a heart attack.
361
1065000
3000
Bio sam siguran da ću dobiti srčani udar.
18:03
So, at 16 minutes what I did is I slid my feet out
362
1068000
3000
I u 16. minutu sam izvukao noge
18:06
because I knew that if I did go out,
363
1071000
3000
jer sam znao da, da sam umro,
18:09
if I did have a heart attack, they'd have to
364
1074000
2000
da sam imao srčani udar, morali bi
18:11
jump into the binding and take my feet out
365
1076000
2000
da počnu da mi odvezuju i izvlače noge
pre nego što me izvuku.
pre nego što me izvuku.
18:13
before pulling me up. So, I was really nervous.
366
1078000
2000
Bio sam veoma uplašen.
18:15
So, I let my feet out, and I started floating to the top.
367
1080000
3000
Oslobodio sam noge
i počeo da plutam ka vrhu.
i počeo da plutam ka vrhu.
18:18
And I didn't take my head out.
368
1083000
2000
I nisam izvukao glavu,
18:20
But I was just floating there waiting for my heart to stop,
369
1085000
2000
već sam samo plutao
čekajući da mi srce stane,
čekajući da mi srce stane,
18:22
just waiting.
370
1087000
2000
samo sam čekao.
18:24
They had doctors with the "Pst," you know, so,
371
1089000
2000
Imali su doktore sa onim "pš",
18:26
sitting there waiting.
372
1091000
2000
pa sam čekao.
18:28
And then suddenly I hear screaming.
373
1093000
2000
I onda sam iznenada čuo vrištanje.
18:30
And I think that there is some weird thing --
374
1095000
2000
Pomislio sam da se nešto čudno desilo -
18:32
that I had died or something had happened.
375
1097000
3000
da sam umro ili tako nešto.
18:35
And then I realized that I had made it to 16:32.
376
1100000
4000
I onda sam shvatio
da sam izdržao do 16:32.
da sam izdržao do 16:32.
18:39
So, with the energy of everybody that was there
377
1104000
3000
Sa energijom svih koji su bili tamo
18:42
I decided to keep pushing.
378
1107000
2000
odlučio sam da se napregnem.
18:44
And I went to 17 minutes and four seconds.
379
1109000
2000
I stigao sam do 17 minuta i 4 sekunde.
18:46
(Applause)
380
1111000
10000
(Aplauz)
18:56
As though that wasn't enough, what I did immediately after
381
1121000
2000
Kao da to nije bilo dovoljno, odmah posle
18:58
is I went to Quest Labs
382
1123000
2000
sam otišao u laboratoriju Kvest
19:00
and had them take every blood sample that they could
383
1125000
2000
da mi uzmu sve moguće uzorke krvi
19:02
to test for everything and to see where my levels were,
384
1127000
3000
i testiraju sve da bi videli
gde su mi nivoi,
gde su mi nivoi,
19:05
so the doctors could use it, once again.
385
1130000
2000
tako da su doktori ponovo imali koristi.
19:07
I also didn't want anybody to question it.
386
1132000
2000
I nisam hteo da niko to dovodi u pitanje.
19:09
I had the world record and I wanted to
387
1134000
2000
Imao sam svetski rekord i želeo sam
19:11
make sure it was legitimate.
388
1136000
2000
da budem siguran da je legitiman.
19:13
So, I get to New York City the next day,
389
1138000
3000
Otišao sam u Njujork sledećeg dana
19:16
and this kid walks up to me -- I'm walking out of the Apple store --
390
1141000
3000
i neko dete mi je prišlo dok sam
izlazio iz Epl prodavnice
izlazio iz Epl prodavnice
19:19
this kid walks up to me he's like, "Yo, D!"
391
1144000
2000
i reklo: "Hej Dejvide!"
19:21
I'm like "Yeah?"
392
1146000
2000
"Da?", rekao sam.
19:23
He said, "If you really held your breath that long,
393
1148000
3000
"Ako si stvarno zadržao dah toliko dugo,
19:26
why'd you come out of the water dry?"
394
1151000
2000
kako to da si izašao iz vode suv?"
19:28
I was like "What?"
395
1153000
2000
Rekao sam: "Molim?"
19:30
(Laughter)
396
1155000
2000
(Smeh)
19:32
And that's my life. So ...
397
1157000
2000
To vam je moj život. Tako da...
19:34
(Laughter)
398
1159000
5000
(Smeh)
Kao mađioničar, pokušavam da
prikažem ljudima stvari
prikažem ljudima stvari
19:39
As a magician I try to show things to people
399
1164000
2000
19:41
that seem impossible.
400
1166000
2000
koje izgledaju nemoguće.
19:43
And I think magic, whether I'm holding my breath
401
1168000
3000
I mislim da je magija,
bilo da zadržavam dah
bilo da zadržavam dah
19:46
or shuffling a deck of cards,
402
1171000
2000
ili mešam špil karata,
19:48
is pretty simple.
403
1173000
2000
vrlo jednostavna.
19:50
It's practice, it's training, and it's --
404
1175000
4000
To je vežbanje, trening i -
19:54
It's practice, it's training and experimenting,
405
1179000
4000
vežba, trening i eksperimentisanje,
19:58
while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be.
406
1183000
3000
dok se trudim uprkos bolu
da budem što bolji.
da budem što bolji.
20:01
And that's what magic is to me, so, thank you.
407
1186000
4000
I to je ono što je za mene magija,
i hvala vam.
i hvala vam.
20:05

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Blaine - Illusionist, endurance artistWith a deck of cards and authoritative cool, David Blaine brings the wonderment of magic off the stage and onto the sidewalk.
Why you should listen
Called a "modern-day Houdini" by The New York Times, David Blaine made himself a household name with TV special David Blaine: Street Magic -- shedding the sweeping glitz and drama of other TV magic programs in favor of a simple premise: illusions done right on the street, in front of handheld cameras and speechless passersby.
With Buried Alive, Blaine was entombed underground for seven days in a transparent plastic coffin, visible to gawking pedestrians above, setting off a new trend in his performance career: the endurance stunt. The pursuit led to other spectacles featuring cramped spaces and extreme conditions: Frozen in Time, which saw him encased in a block of ice for almost three days, and Vertigo, where he stood atop a 100-foot pillar for 35 hours.
Blaine's stunts continue to draw immense crowds and Nielsen ratings to match, but his appearance on Oprah was perhaps most stunning, when he broke the Guinness world record for breath-holding, staying underwater for 17 minutes and 4.5 seconds.
