As a magician, I try to create images that make people stop and think.

作為魔術師，我試著創造幻象，

to 不定詞

to do things that doctors say are not possible.

I was buried alive in New York City in a coffin,

buried alive in a coffin in April, 1999, for a week.

that I decided I could pursue doing more of these things.

The next one is I froze myself in a block of ice

for three days and three nights in New York City.

That one was way more difficult than I had expected.

The one after that, I stood on top of a hundred-foot pillar

我把自己凍在冰塊裡三天三夜，

that the buildings that were behind me started to look like big animal heads.

之後，我在三十公尺高的柱子上，

In London I lived in a glass box for 44 days

一旁的建築物看起來像是巨大動物的頭。

It was, for me, one of the most difficult things I'd ever done,

在一個玻璃箱裡渡過四十四天，

There was so many skeptics, especially the press in London,

that they started flying cheeseburgers on helicopters around my box to tempt me.

對我來說，這是我所做過最困難、

到處都是懷疑的聲浪，尤其是倫敦的媒體，

when the New England Journal of Medicine actually used the research for science.

My next pursuit was I wanted to see how long I could go without breathing,

like how long I could survive with nothing, not even air.

I didn't realize that it would become the most amazing journey of my life.

將我的經歷用在科學研究上時，

I was obsessed with Houdini and his underwater challenges.

So, I began, early on, competing against the other kids,

接下來，我想知道自己能忍耐多長時間不呼吸，

seeing how long I could stay underwater while they went up and down to breathe,

在什麼都沒有的情況下能生存多久，

you know, five times, while I stayed under on one breath.

I was able to hold my breath for three minutes and 30 seconds.

這將成為我生命中最為精彩的一段旅程。

I would later find out that was Houdini's personal record.

年輕的時候，作為一個魔術師，

我著迷於胡迪尼和他的水中脫逃術，

about a boy that fell through ice and was trapped under a river.

He was underneath, not breathing for 45 minutes.

they resuscitated him and there was no brain damage.

有五次之多，而我還待在水底，

His core temperature had dropped to 77 degrees.

As a magician, I think everything is possible.

我就已經能憋氣三分三十秒左右，

And I think if something is done by one person,

後來我發現這等於胡迪尼的個人紀錄。

if the boy could survive without breathing for that long,

And I asked him, how long is it possible to go without breathing,

發現他的大腦沒有受到任何損傷，

And he said to me that anything over six minutes

you have a serious risk of hypoxic brain damage.

So, I took that as a challenge, basically.

我開始思考，如果那個男孩能夠

My first try, I figured that I could do something similar,

這麼長時間不呼吸而存活下來，

and I filled it with ice and freezing cold water.

所以我和一位頂尖的神經外科醫生見面，

hoping my core temperature would start to drop.

In my first attempt to hold my breath, I couldn't even last a minute.

So, I realized that was completely not going to work.

所以，我把六分鐘視為一個基本挑戰。

"I want to hold my breath for a really long time. How could it be done?"

第一次嘗試，我想試試跟前述同樣的狀況，

create the illusion of not breathing, it will be much easier."

So, he came up with this idea of creating a rebreather,

which was basically a tube from Home Depot,

that he thought we could put inside of me,

and somehow be able to circulate the air and rebreathe

「我想要閉氣很長一段時間。該怎麼做到?」

他說，“大衛，你是一個魔術師，

Then I actually started thinking about liquid breathing.

There is a chemical that's called perflubron.

And it's so high in oxygen levels that in theory you could breathe it.

基本上就是到特力屋買根軟管，

filled the sink up with it, and stuck my face in the sink

他認為可以把管子放進我體內，

and tried to breathe that in, which was really impossible.

It's basically like trying to breathe, as a doctor said,

while having an elephant standing on your chest.

would it be possible to hook up a heart/lung bypass machine

and have a surgery where it was a tube going into my artery,

and then appear to not breathe while they were oxygenating my blood?

Which was another insane idea, obviously.

有一種化學物質叫做全氟溴烷，

Then I thought about the craziest idea of all the ideas:

To actually try to hold my breath past the point

拿它裝滿水槽，並且把臉浸進去，

that doctors would consider you brain dead.

So, I started researching into pearl divers.
