How I held my breath for 17 minutes | David Blaine | TED

Prevoditelj: Petar Jurina Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

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

Kao mađioničar trudim se stvoriti prizore koji

tjeraju ljude da stanu i razmisle.

I also try to challenge myself

Također nastojim izazvati sebe

to do things that doctors say are not possible.

da napravim stvari za koje doktori kažu da su nemoguće.

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

Bio sam pokopan živ u lijesu u New Yorku,

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

pokopan živ u lijesu u travnju 1999.,

na tjedan dana.

I lived there with nothing but water.

Živio sam tamo bez ičega osim vode.

And it ended up being so much fun

Na kraju je bilo toliko zabavno

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

da sam odlučio da mogu nastaviti

raditi više takvih stvari.

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

Iduća stvar je da sam se zaledio u kocku leda

for three days and three nights in New York City.

na tri dana i tri noći u New Yorku.

That one was way more difficult than I had expected.

Ovo je bilo mnogo teže nego što sam očekivao.

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

Nakon toga, stajao sam na vrhu 30 metara visokog stupa

for 36 hours.

36 sati.

I began to hallucinate so hard

Počeo sam tako jako halucinirati

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

da su zgrade koje su bile iza mene počele izgledati kao velike životinjske glave.

So, next I went to London.

Zatim sam otišao u London.

In London I lived in a glass box for 44 days

U Londonu sam živio u staklenoj kutiji 44 dana

with nothing but water.

bez ičega osim vode.

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

Bila je to za mene jedna od najtežih stvari koje sam ikada napravio,

but it was also the most beautiful.

ali bila je također i najljepša.

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

Bilo je mnogo skeptika, a posebno mediji u Londonu

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

koji su počeli vješati cheeseburgere

na helikoptere oko moje kutije kako bi me dražili.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So, I felt very validated

Osjećao sam se uvaženo

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

kada su novine "New England Journal of Medicine" zapravo

iskoristile moj pothvat za znanstveno istraživanje.

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

U svom slijedećem izazovu želio sam vidjeti koliko dugo mogu izdržati bez disanja,

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

koliko dugo mogu preživjeti bez ičega,

čak i bez zraka.

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

Nisam mislio da će to postati

najuzbudljivija avantura mog života.

As a young magician,

Kao mladi mađioničar

I was obsessed with Houdini and his underwater challenges.

bio sam opsjednut s Houdinijem i njegovim podvodnim izazovima.

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

Stoga sam se počeo rano natjecati protiv druge djece,

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

gledajući koliko dugo mogu ostati pod vodom

dok bi oni izranjali da uzmu zraka,

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

znate, pet puta, ja bih ostao dolje s jednim udahom.

By the time I was a teenager,

Kada sam postao tinejdžer

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

mogao sam zadržati dah tri minute i 30 sekundi.

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

Kasnije sam saznao da je to bio Houdinijev osobni rekord.

In 1987 I heard of a story

1987. čuo sam priču

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

o dječaku koji je propao kroz led

i bio zarobljen u rijeci.

Bio je ispod, bez zraka 45 minuta.

He was underneath, not breathing for 45 minutes.

When the rescue workers came,

Kada su došli spasioci,

they resuscitated him and there was no brain damage.

oživjeli su ga i nije imao nikakvih moždanih oštećenja.

His core temperature had dropped to 77 degrees.

Njegova temperatura tijela pala je na 25 stupnjeva.

As a magician, I think everything is possible.

Kao mađioničar mislim da je sve moguće

And I think if something is done by one person,

i mislim da ako jedna osoba nešto napravi

it can be done by others.

to mogu napraviti i drugi.

I started to think,

Počeo sam razmišljati, ako je dječak mogao preživjeti

if the boy could survive without breathing for that long,

bez disanja tako dugo

there must be a way that I could do it.

mora postojati način da ja to mogu.

So, I met with a top neurosurgeon.

Sastao sam se s vrhunskim neurokirurgom

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

i pitao ga, koliko je moguće

izdržati bez disanja, koliko dugo mogu biti bez zraka?

like how long could I go without air?

And he said to me that anything over six minutes

Rekao mi je da sve preko šest minuta

you have a serious risk of hypoxic brain damage.

ima ozbiljan rizik

za hipoksičko oštećenje mozga.

So, I took that as a challenge, basically.

Shvatio sam to kao izazov, doslovno.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

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

Moj prvi pokušaj, shvatio sam da mogu učiniti nešto slično,

napravio sam spremnik za vodu

and I created a water tank,

and I filled it with ice and freezing cold water.

i napunio ga s ledom i hladnom vodom.

And I stayed inside of that water tank

I stajao sam unutar tog spremnika za vodu

hoping my core temperature would start to drop.

nadajući se da će moja tjelesna temperatura početi padati.

And I was shivering.

I drhtao sam. U mom prvom pokušaju držanja daha

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

nisam mogao izdržati ni minutu.

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

Shvatio sam da to neće ići.

I went to talk to a doctor friend --

Otišao sam do prijatelja doktora,

i pitao ga kako mogu to napraviti?

and I asked him, "How could I do that?"

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

"Želim jako dugo držati dah. Kako ću to ostvariti?"

And he said, "David, you're a magician,

A on mi je rekao: "David ti si mađioničar,

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

stvori iluziju u kojoj nećeš disati, bit će mnogo lakše."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

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

Tako je on došao na ideju

stvaranja simulatora disanja,

with a CO2 scrubber,

sa CO2 filterom,

which was basically a tube from Home Depot,

koji je zapravo bio cijev iz Home Depot-a

with a balloon duct-taped to it,

sa zaljepljenim balonom,

that he thought we could put inside of me,

za koji smo mislili da ga možemo staviti u mene,

and somehow be able to circulate the air and rebreathe

te nekako stvoriti cirkulaciju zraka i ponovno disati

with this thing in me.

s tim u meni.

This is a little hard to watch.

Ovo je malo teško za gledati.

But this is that attempt.

To je taj pokušaj.

So, that clearly wasn't going to work.

To očito nije išlo.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Then I actually started thinking about liquid breathing.

Onda sam počeo razmišljati o

disanju pomoću tekućine.

There is a chemical that's called perflubron.

Postoji kemikalija koja se zove perflubron.

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

I ima toliko visoku razinu kisika

da je teoretski možete udahnuti.

So, I got my hands on that chemical,

Nabavio sam tu kemikaliju,

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

napunio sudoper s njom, zabio glavu u sudoper

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

i pokušao je udahnuti,

što je bilo nemoguće.

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

To je zapravo kao da pokušavate disati, kako je doktor rekao,

while having an elephant standing on your chest.

dok vam slon stoji na prsima.

So, that idea disappeared.

Tako je ta ideja nestala.

Then I started thinking,

Onda sam počeo razmišljati,

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

da li bi bilo moguće spojiti srčanu/plućnu premosnicu

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

i imati operaciju gdje je to bila cijev koja ide u moju arteriju

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

i praviti se da ne dišem dok oni daju kisik mojoj krvi?

Which was another insane idea, obviously.

Što je očito bila druga luda ideja.

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

Onda sam pomislio na najluđu ideju od svih:

to actually do it.

zapravo to i učiniti.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

To actually try to hold my breath past the point

Zapravo pokušati držati dah preko granice

that doctors would consider you brain dead.

kod koje vas doktori smatraju klinički mrtvim.

Počeo sam istraživati

So, I started researching into pearl divers.

ronioce koji traže bisere.

You know, because they go down for four minutes on one breath.

Zato što rone četiri minute u jednom dahu.

And when I was researching pearl divers, I found the world of free-diving.

I kad sam istraživao biserne ronioce, pronašao sam svijet

slobodnog ronjenja.

It was the most amazing thing that I ever discovered, pretty much.

To je ujedno bila najnevjerojatnija stvar koju sam ikad otkrio.

There is many different aspects to free-diving.

Postoje mnogo različitih gledišta slobodnog ronjenja.

There is depth records, where people go as deep as they can.

Postoje dubinski rekorderi, gdje ljudi idu onoliko duboko koliko mogu.

And then there is static apnea.

I onda postoje statične discipline.

That's holding your breath as long as you can

To je držanje daha koliko dugo možeš

in one place without moving.

na jednom mjestu bez micanja.

That was the one that I studied.

To je onaj koji sam ja proučavao.

The first thing that I learned is when you're holding your breath,

Prva stvar koju sam naučio je da dok držiš dah

you should never move at all; that wastes energy.

ne bi se uopće trebao micati, to troši energiju.

And that depletes oxygen,

A to troši kisik

and it builds up CO2 in your blood.

i stvara CO2 u krvi. Naučio sam nikad se ne micati.

So, I learned never to move.

And I learned how to slow my heart rate down.

I naučio sam kako usporiti otkucaje srca.

I had to remain perfectly still and just relax

Morao sam ostati savršeno miran i samo se opustiti

and think that I wasn't in my body, and just control that.

i misliti da nisam u svome tijelu

i samo kontrolirati to.

And then I learned how to purge.

Onda sam naučio kako se pročistiti.

Purging is basically hyperventilating.

Pročišćavanje je u biti hiperventiliranje.

You blow in and out --

Udišeš i izdišeš ...

(Breathing loudly)

You do that, you get lightheaded, you get tingling.

Radiš to i postaješ blijed, prolaze te trnci.

And you're really ridding your body of CO2.

I stvarno oslobađaš svoje tijelo od CO2.

So, when you hold your breath, it's infinitely easier.

Kad držiš svoj dah to je beskrajno lakše.

Then I learned that you have to take a huge breath,

Onda sam naučio da moraš uzeti duboki udah

and just hold and relax and never let any air out,

i samo držati i opustiti se i nikako ne puštati ni malo zraka van,

and just hold and relax through all the pain.

samo držati i opustiti se kroz cijelu bol.

Every morning, this is for months,

Svako jutro, mjesecima,

I would wake up and the first thing that I would do

probudio bih se i prva stvar koju bih napravio

is I would hold my breath

jest da bih držao svoj dah

for, out of 52 minutes, I would hold my breath for 44 minutes.

52 minute,

držao bih dah 44 minute.

So, basically what that means is I would purge,

U biti, pročišćavao bih se,

I'd breathe really hard for a minute.

Disao bih stvarno teško minutu.

And I would hold, immediately after, for five and a half minutes.

Onda bih odmah iza držao pet i pol minuta.

Then I would breathe again for a minute, purging as hard as I can,

Onda bih ponovno disao minutu,

pročišćavajući se što više mogu,

then immediately after that I would hold again for five and a half minutes.

onda bih odmah poslije toga ponovno držao pet i pol minuta.

I would repeat this process eight times in a row.

Ponavljao bih ovaj proces osam puta za redom.

Out of 52 minutes, you're only breathing for eight minutes.

Od 52 minute dišeš samo osam minuta.

At the end of that you're completely fried, your brain.

Nakon toga u potpunosti spržiš svoj mozak.

You feel like you're walking around in a daze.

Osjećaš se kao da hodaš okolo omamljen.

And you have these awful headaches.

I imaš te užasne glavobolje.

Basically, I'm not the best person to talk to when I'm doing that stuff.

U biti, nisam najbolja osoba za pričati o tome kada radim te stvari.

I started learning about the world-record holder.

Počeo sam učiti o držaču svjetskog rekorda.

His name is Tom Sietas.

Zove se Tom Sietas.

And this guy is perfectly built for holding his breath.

Ovaj čovjek je savršeno građen za zadržavanje daha.

He's six foot four. He's 160 pounds.

On je metar i 93. On ima 73 kilograma.

And his total lung capacity is twice the size of an average person.

I njegov puni kapacitet pluća je

duplo veći od prosječnog čovjeka.

I'm six foot one, and fat.

Ja sam metar i 85, i debeo.

We'll say big-boned.

Reći ćemo da imam teške kosti.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I had to drop 50 pounds in three months.

Morao sam izgubiti 23 kilograma u tri mjeseca.

So, everything that I put into my body, I considered as medicine.

Sve što sam stavio u svoje tijelo

smatrao sam kao lijek.

Every bit of food was exactly what it was for its nutritional value.

Svaki dijelić hrane je bio točno ono što je u svojoj nutricionističkoj vrijednosti.

I ate really small controlled portions throughout the day.

Jeo sam stvarno male, kontrolirane porcije

kroz dan.

And I started to really adapt my body.

I stvarno sam počeo prilagođavati svoje tijelo.

(Smijeh)

[Individual results may vary]

(Laughter)

The thinner I was, the longer I was able to hold my breath.

Što sam bio tanji, duže sam mogao držati dah.

And by eating so well and training so hard,

Jedući tako dobro i trenirajući tako jako,

my resting heart-rate dropped to 38 beats per minute.

moj odmarajući otkucaj srca je pao na 38 otkucaja u minuti.

Which is lower than most Olympic athletes.

Što je niže nego kod većine olimpijskih atletičara.

In four months of training,

U četiri mjeseca treniranja mogao sam držati dah

I was able to hold my breath for over seven minutes.

preko sedam minuta.

I wanted to try holding my breath everywhere.

Želio sam pokušati držati svoj dah svugdje.

I wanted to try it in the most extreme situations

Želio sam probati to u najekstremnijim situacijama

to see if I could slow my heart rate down under duress.

kako bih vidio mogu li usporiti otkucaje srca

pod pritiskom.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I decided that I was going to break the world record

Odlučio sam srušiti svjetski rekord

live on prime-time television.

uživo na televiziji u udarnom terminu.

The world record was eight minutes and 58 seconds,

Svjetski rekord bio je 8 minuta i 58 sekundi

held by Tom Sietas, that guy with the whale lungs I told you about.

kojeg je držao Tom Sietas, čovjek s plučima kita, o kojem sam vam rekao.

(Smijeh)

I assumed that I could put a water tank at Lincoln Center

Pretpostavio sam da mogu staviti spremnik na Lincolnov centar

and if I stayed there a week not eating,

i ako stojim tamo tjedan bez jela,

I would get comfortable in that situation and I would slow my metabolism,

postat će mi udobno u toj situaciji

i usporiti ću svoj metabolizam,

which I was sure would help me hold my breath

bio sam siguran da bi mi to pomoglo držati dah

longer than I had been able to do it.

duže nego što sam mogao.

U potpunosti sam bio u krivu.

I was completely wrong.

I entered the sphere a week before the scheduled air date.

Ušao sam u sferu tjedan prije zakazanog datuma emitiranja.

And I thought everything seemed to be on track.

I sve mi se činilo da će biti po rasporedu.

Two days before my big breath-hold attempt, for the record,

Dva dana prije mog velikog pokušaja držanja daha za rekord,

the producers of my television special

producenti mog televizijskog specijala

thought that just watching somebody holding their breath, and almost drowning,

mislili su da je samo gledanje nekog

dok drži dah i skoro se guši,

predosadno za televiziju.

is too boring for television.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So, I had to add handcuffs, while holding my breath, to escape from.

Pa sam morao dodati lisice,

iz kojih sam se trebao osloboditi dok držim dah.

This was a critical mistake.

Ovo je bila kritična pogreška.

Because of the movement, I was wasting oxygen.

Zbog kretanja trošio sam kisik.

And by seven minutes I had gone into these awful convulsions.

I do sedme minute sam otišao

u užasne grčeve.

By 7:08, I started to black out.

Do 7:08 sam počeo padati u nesvjest.

And by seven minutes and 30 seconds,

Do 7:30 sekundi

they had to pull my body out and bring me back.

morali su izvući moje tijelo i vratiti me nazad.

I had failed on every level.

Pao sam na svakoj razini.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So, naturally, the only way out of the slump that I could think of was,

Prirodno, jedini put van iz krize

kojeg sam se mogao sjetiti

je bila odluka da nazovem Oprah.

I decided to call Oprah.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I told her that I wanted to up the ante

Rekao sam joj da želim povisiti ulog

and hold my breath longer than any human being ever had.

i držati dah dulje od bilo kojeg ljudskog bića ikad.

This was a different record.

Ovo je bio drukčiji rekord. Ovo je bio čisti O2

This was a pure O2 static apnea record

statički rekord za kojeg je Guinness

that Guinness had set the world record at 13 minutes.

postavio svjetski rekord na 13 minuta.

So, basically you breathe pure O2 first, oxygenating your body, flushing out CO2,

U biti udišete čisti kisik,

davajući kisik svom tijelu, izbacujući CO2,

i u mogućnosti ste izdržati mnogo duže.

and you are able to hold much longer.

I realized that my real competition was the beaver.

Shvatio sam da je moja prava konkurencija

bio dabar.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Laughter ends)

In January of '08,

U siječnju 2008.

Oprah gave me four months to prepare and train.

Oprah mi je dala četiri mjeseca za pripremu i treniranje.

So, I would sleep in a hypoxic tent every night.

Spavao sam u hipoksičkom šatoru svaku večer.

A hypoxic tent is a tent that simulates altitude at 15,000 feet.

Hipoksički šator je šator koji simulira

nadmorsku visinu na 4.572 metara.

So, it's like base camp, Everest.

To je kao bazni kamp Everest.

What that does is, you start building up the red bloodcell count in your body,

Ono na što utječe je da počneš stvarati

crvene krvne stanice u svom tijelu,

which helps you carry oxygen better.

koje ti pomažu bolje držati kisik.

Every morning, again, after getting out of that tent,

Ponovno, svako jutro nakon izlaženja iz tog šatora

your brain is completely wiped out.

tvoj mozak je potpuno uništen.

My first attempt on pure O2, I was able to go up to 15 minutes.

Na mom prvom pokušaju sa čistim O2 mogao sam ići do 15 minuta.

So, it was a pretty big success.

Dakle, to je bio prilično veliki uspjeh.

The neurosurgeon pulled me out of the water

Neurokirurg me izvukao iz vode

because in his mind, at 15 minutes your brain is done, you're brain dead.

jer u njegovoj glavi, na 15 minuta

tvoj mozak je gotov, klinički si mrtav.

So, he pulled me up, and I was fine.

Izvukao me i bio sam dobro.

There was one person there that was definitely not impressed.

Bila je jedna osoba koja definitivno nije bila impresionirana.

It was my ex-girlfriend.

To je bila moja bivša cura. Dok sam ja rušio rekord pod vodom

While I was breaking the record underwater for the first time,

po prvi put, ona je prčkala po mom Blackberryju,

she was sifting through my Blackberry, checking all my messages.

provjeravajući moje poruke.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

My brother had a picture of it. It is really --

Moj brat ima sliku toga. Stvarno je ...

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Laughter ends)

I then announced that I was going to go for Sietas' record, publicly.

Tada sam objavio da ću ići na

Sietasov rekord, javno.

And what he did in response, is he went on Regis and Kelly,

Ono što je on napravio kao odgovor,

otišao je na Regis i Kelly,

and broke his old record.

i srušio svoj stari rekord.

Then his main competitor went out and broke his record.

Onda je njegov glavni konkurent izašao i srušio njegov rekord.

So, he suddenly pushed the record up to 16 minutes and 32 seconds.

Tako da je odjednom povisio rekord na

16 minuta i 32 sekunde.

Which was three minutes longer than I had prepared.

Što je bilo 3 minute više nego što sam se pripremio.

It was longer than the record.

Znate, to je bilo dulje nego rekord.

I wanted to get the Science Times to document this.

Sada, želio sam dobiti Science Times da zabilježe to.

I wanted to get them to do a piece on it.

Želio sam da naprave članak o tome.

So, I did what any person

Stoga sam napravio što bi svaka osoba

seriously pursuing scientific advancement would do.

koja ozbiljno lovi znanstveni napredak napravila.

I walked into the New York Times offices and did card tricks to everybody.

Ušetao sam u urede New York Timesa

i sa svima radio trikove s kartama.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So, I don't know if it was the magic or the lure of the Cayman Islands,

Ne znam je li to bila magija ili nauka Kajmanskog otočja,

but John Tierney flew down

ali John Tierney je doletio

and did a piece on the seriousness of breath-holding.

i napravio članak o ozbiljnosti zadržavanja daha.

While he was there, I tried to impress him, of course.

Naravno, dok je bio ondje pokušavao sam ga impresionirati.

And I did a dive down to 160 feet,

I zaronio sam na 48,5 metara,

which is basically the height of a 16 story building,

što je u biti visina šesnaestkatne zgrade,

and as I was coming up, I blacked out underwater,

i dok sam se vraćao gore, onesvjestio sam se pod vodom,

which is really dangerous; that's how you drown.

što je stvarno opasno; tako se utopite.

Luckily, Kirk had seen me and he swam over and pulled me up.

Srećom, Kirk me vidio,

doplivao je do mene i izvukao me van.

So, I started full focus.

Počeo sam se fokusirati.

I completely trained to get my breath-hold time up

Potpuno sam trenirao da bi dignuo svoje vrijeme držanja daha

for what I needed to do.

za ono što sam trebao napraviti.

But there was no way to prepare for the live television aspect of it,

Ali nije bilo načina pripremiti se za aspekt prijenosa uživo,

being on Oprah.

biti na Opri.

But in practice, I would do it face down, floating on the pool.

Ali u praksi napravio bih to licem prema dolje, plutajući u bazenu.

But for TV they wanted me to be upright so they could see my face, basically.

Ali za televiziju, željeli su da budem uspravno

tako da mi vide lice.

The other problem was the suit was so buoyant

Drugi problem je bilo

odijelo koje je bilo jako plutajuće

that they had to strap my feet in to keep me from floating up.

pa su mi morali staviti remen na noge da bi me spriječili da isplutam.

So, I had to use my legs to hold my feet into the straps that were loose,

Tako da sam morao koristiti noge da drže moja stopala u remenima koji su bili labavi,

which was a real problem for me.

što je bio pravi problem za mene.

That made me extremely nervous, raising the heart rate.

To me učinilo ekstremno nervoznim,

što je povećalo otkucaje srca.

Then, what they also did was,

Zatim, ono što su također učinili,

which we never did before, is there was a heart-rate monitor.

što mi nismo nikad prije, tamo je bio monitor za otkucaje srca.

And it was right next to the sphere.

I bio je odmah pored sfere.

So, every time my heart would beat, I'd hear the beep-beep-beep-beep,

Svaki put kad bi moje srce kucalo ja bih čuo beep-beep-beep-beep,

you know, the ticking, really loud.

znate, kucanje, stvarno glasno.

Which was making me more nervous.

Što me činilo još više nervoznim.

And there was no way to slow my heart rate down.

Nije bilo načina da usporim otkucaje srca.

Normalno

Normally, I would start at 38 beats per minute,

počeo bih s 38 otkucaja u minuti,

and while holding my breath, it would drop to 12 beats per minute,

dok bih držao dah to bi palo na 12 otkucaja u minuti,

which is pretty unusual.

što je prilično neobično.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

This time it started at 120 beats, and it never went down.

Ovaj put je počelo na 120 otkucaja,

i nije se nikako spustilo.

I spent the first five minutes underwater

Proveo sam prvih pet minuta pod vodom

desperately trying to slow my heart rate down.

očajnićki pokušavajući usporiti svoje otkucaje srca.

I was just sitting there thinking,

Samo sam sjedio tamo razmišljajući, "moram ovo usporiti.

"I've got to slow this down. I'm going to fail."

Neću uspjeti, neću uspjeti."

And I was getting more nervous.

Postajao sam sve više nervozan.

And the heart rate just kept going up and up,

I otkucaji srca su samo nastavili ići gore i gore,

all the way up to 150 beats.

sve do 150 otkucaja.

Basically it's the same thing that created my downfall at Lincoln Center.

U biti to je ista stvar koja je stvorila moj neuspjeh u Lincolnovom centru.

It was a waste of O2.

Bilo je to trošenje O2.

When I made it to the halfway mark, at eight minutes,

Kada sam došao do pola puta, na osam minuta,

I was 100 percent certain

bio sam 100 posto siguran

that I was not going to be able to make this.

kako neću moći napraviti ovo.

There was no way for me to do it.

Nije bilo načina da to napravim.

Pa sam shvatio, Oprah je posvetila meni jedan sat

I figured, Oprah had dedicated an hour

to doing this breath-hold thing, if I had cracked early,

za napraviti ovu stvar držanja daha. Da sam pukao prije

it would be a whole show about how depressed I am.

bio bi cijeli show o tome kako sam utučen.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So, I figured I'm better off just fighting and staying there until I black out,

Shvatio sam da mi je bolje samo boriti se

i ostati ondje dok se ne onesvjestim,

at least then they can pull me out and take care of me and all that.

barem će me oni moći izvući van i brinuti se o meni i sve to.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I kept pushing to 10 minutes.

Nastavio sam gurati do 10 minuta. U 10. minuti

At 10 minutes you start getting all these really strong tingling sensations

počnete dobivati sve one stvarno jake

trnce u prstima i nožnim prstima.

in your fingers and toes.

And I knew that that was blood shunting,

I znao sam da je to bilo manevriranje krvi,

when the blood rushes away from your extremities

kada krv juri iz tvojih krajnjih dijelova

kako bi omogućila kisik vitalnim organima.

to provide oxygen to your vital organs.

At 11 minutes I started feeling throbbing sensations in my legs,

U 11. minuti počeo sam osjećati

lupajuće osjećaje u svojim nogama,

and my lips started to feel really strange.

i moja usta su se počela osjećati stvarno čudno.

At minute 12 I started to have ringing in my ears,

U 12. minuti počeo sam imati zvonjavu u ušima,

and I started to feel my arm going numb.

i počeo sam osjećati da mi se ruka ukočila.

And I'm a hypochondriac, and I remember arm numb means heart attack.

Ja sam hipohondar i sjetio sam se da ukočenost ruke znači srčani udar.

So, I started to really get really paranoid.

Pa sam počeo biti stvarno paranoičan.

Onda u 13-oj minuti, možda zbog hipohondričnosti.

Then at 13 minutes, maybe because of the hypochondria,

Počeo sam osjećati bolove u cijelim prsima.

I started feeling pains all over my chest.

It was awful.

Bilo je užasno.

(Laughter)

At 14 minutes, I had these awful contractions,

U 14. minuti,

imao sam užasne grčeve,

like this urge to breathe.

kao nagon za disanjem.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Laughter ends)

At 15 minutes I was suffering major O2 deprivation to the heart.

U 15. minuti trpio sam

veliki gubitak O2 u srcu.

And I started having ischemia to the heart.

I počeo sam imati ishemiju srca.

My heartbeat would go from 120 to 50,

Moji otkucaji srca bi išli od 120,

do 50,do 150, do 40, do 20, pa ponovno do 150.

to 150, to 40, to 20, to 150 again.

It would skip a beat.

Preskočio bi otkucaj.

It would start. It would stop. And I felt all this.

Počeo bi. Stao bi. I osjetio sam sve to.

And I was sure that I was going to have a heart attack.

I bio sam siguran da ću imati srčani udar.

So, at 16 minutes what I did is I slid my feet out

U 16. minuti, što sam napravio, izvukao sam stopala van

because I knew that if I did go out, if I did have a heart attack,

jer sam znao da ako izađem van,

ako bi imao srčani udar, oni bi morali

they'd have to jump into the binding and take my feet out

skočiti u spremnik i izvaditi moja stopala van

before pulling me up.

prije nego što me povuku gore. Stoga sam bio stvarno nervozan.

I was really nervous.

Zato sam oslobodio svoja stopala i počeo plutati na vrhu.

I let my feet out, and I started floating to the top.

And I didn't take my head out.

I nisam izvadio glavu van.

But I was just floating there waiting for my heart to stop,

Ali sam samo plutao tamo čekajući da mi stane srce,

samo čekajući.

just waiting.

They had doctors with the "Pst," you know, sitting there waiting.

Imali su doktore s "Pst", znate,

koji su sjedili tamo i čekali.

And then suddenly I hear screaming.

I onda sam odjednom čuo vrištanje.

And I think that there is some weird thing --

I mislio da je tamo neka čudna stvar --

that I had died or something had happened.

da sam umro ili se nešto dogodilo.

And then I realized that I had made it to 16:32.

I onda sam shvatio da sam uspio do 16:32.

So, with the energy of everybody that was there,

Tako sam, s energijom svih koji su bili tamo

I decided to keep pushing.

odlučio nastaviti gurati.

And I went to 17 minutes and four seconds.

I otišao sam do 17 minuta i četiri sekunde.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

(Applause ends)

As though that wasn't enough, what I did immediately after

Kao da to nije bilo dovoljno, ono što sam učinio odmah poslije

jest da sam otišao u laboratorij

is I went to Quest Labs

and had them take every blood sample that they could

i dao im da uzmu svaki uzorak krvi koji su mogli

to test for everything and to see where my levels were,

kako bi testirali sve i vidjeli gdje su mi bili nivoi,

so the doctors could use it, once again.

kako bi doktori to mogli iznova koristiti.

I also didn't want anybody to question it.

Također, nisam htio da itko to smatra upitnim.

I had the world record and I wanted to make sure it was legitimate.

Imao sam svjetski rekord i želio sam se

pobrinuti da je legitiman.

So, I get to New York City the next day,

Stoga sam drugi dan otišao u New York

I'm walking out of the Apple store,

i neki dječak došeta do mene -- izlazim iz Appleovog dućana --

and this kid walks up to me he's like, "Yo, D!"

ovaj dječak došeta do mene i reče: "Hej, D!"

I'm like "Yeah?"

Rekoh: "Da?"

He said, "If you really held your breath that long,

On reče: " Ako si stvarno držao dah toliko dugo,

why'd you come out of the water dry?"

zašto si izašao iz vode suh?"

I was like "What?"

Začudio sam se: "Što?"

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And that's my life. So --

I to je moj život. Pa...

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

As a magician, I try to show things to people

Kao mađioničar pokušavam pokazati stvari ljudima

that seem impossible.

koje se čine nemogućim.

And I think magic,

I mislim da magija, bilo da držim svoj dah

whether I'm holding my breath or shuffling a deck of cards,

ili prevrćem špil karata,

is pretty simple.

je prilično jednostavna.

It's practice, it's training, and it's -- (Sobs)

To je praksa, vježbanje, i to je --

It's practice, it's training and experimenting,

To je praksa, vježbanje, i to je eksperimentiranje,

(Sobs)

while pushing through the pain to be the best that I can be.

dok trpim bol kako bih bio najbolji što mogu.

And that's what magic is to me, so, thank you.

I to je ono što je magija za mene, hvala vam.

(Applause)
