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

Prevodilac: Miloš Milosavljević Lektor: Mile Živković

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

Kao mađioničar, pokušavam da stvorim prizore

koji će naterati ljude da zastanu i zamisle se.

I also try to challenge myself

Takođe pokušavam da radim stvari

to do things that doctors say are not possible.

za koje doktori kažu da su nemoguće.

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

Bio sam živ zakopan u Njujorku u sanduku,

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

u aprilu 1999,

na nedelju dana.

I lived there with nothing but water.

Tamo sam živeo bez ičega osim vode.

And it ended up being so much fun

To je ispalo toliko zabavno

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

da sam odlučio da nastavim

da radim još ovakvih stvari.

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

Posle toga sam se zamrzao u komadu leda,

for three days and three nights in New York City.

na tri dana i tri noći u Njujorku.

That one was way more difficult than I had expected.

To je bilo mnogo teže nego što sam očekivao.

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

Posle toga, stajao sam na vrhu stuba od 30 metara

for 36 hours.

36 sati.

I began to hallucinate so hard

Počeo sam toliko da haluciniram

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

da su mi zgrade iza mene izgledale kao velike glave životinja.

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 živeo 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,

To mi je bila jedna od najtežih stvari koje sam uradio,

but it was also the most beautiful.

ali takođe i najlepša.

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

Bilo je toliko skeptika, naročito štampa u Londonu,

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

da su nosili čizburgere

u helikopterima oko moje kutije da bi me iskušavali.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So, I felt very validated

Osetio sam se vrlo vrednovanim

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

kad je "New England Journal of Medicine"

iskoristio to istraživanje za nauku.

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

Sledeće sam hteo da vidim koliko dugo mogu da izdržim bez vazduha,

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

koliko dugo mogu da preživim bez ičega,

čak i vazduha.

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

Nisam znao da će to biti

najneverovatnija avantura mog života.

As a young magician,

Kao mlad mađioničar

I was obsessed with Houdini and his underwater challenges.

bio sam opsednut Hudinijem i njegovim izazovima pod vodom.

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

Rano sam počeo da se takmičim s drugom decom

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

da vidim koliko dugo mogu da ostanem pod vodom

dok oni izranjaju da uzmu vazduh pet puta

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

dok ja izdržavam s jednim udahom.

By the time I was a teenager,

Kao tinejdžer, već sam mogao

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

da zadržim dah tri minuta i 30 sekundi.

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

Kasnije sam saznao da je to bio Hudinijev lični rekord.

In 1987 I heard of a story

Godine 1987, čuo sam priču

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

o dečaku koji je propao kroz led na reci

i ostao zarobljen ispod.

Bio je dole, bez daha, 45 minuta.

He was underneath, not breathing for 45 minutes.

When the rescue workers came,

Kad su spasioci došli,

they resuscitated him and there was no brain damage.

oživeli su ga i nije bilo oštećenja mozga.

His core temperature had dropped to 77 degrees.

Njegova telesna temperatura je pala na 25 stepeni celzijusa.

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,

Mislim da ako je jedan čovek nešto uradio,

it can be done by others.

to mogu da urade i drugi.

I started to think,

Počeo sam da razmišljam: ako je dečak mogao da preživi

if the boy could survive without breathing for that long,

bez disanja toliko dugo,

there must be a way that I could do it.

mora da i ja to mogu nekako to da uradim.

So, I met with a top neurosurgeon.

Otišao sam kod vrhunskog neurohirurga,

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

i pitao ga koliko dugo je moguće ne disati,

like how long could I go without air?

koliko dugo mogu da budem bez vazduha?

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.

predstavlja ozbiljan rizik

za dobijanje hipoksičnog oštećenja mozga.

So, I took that as a challenge, basically.

To sam shvatio kao izazov.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Moj prvi pokušaj je bio da uradim nešto slično.

Konstruisao sam rezervoar s vodom

and I created a water tank,

and I filled it with ice and freezing cold water.

i napunio ga ledom i ledenom vodom.

And I stayed inside of that water tank

Ušao sam u taj rezervoar

hoping my core temperature would start to drop.

nadajući se da će temperatura početi da mi pada.

And I was shivering.

I tresao sam se. U prvom pokušaju da zadržim dah

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

nisam izdržao čak ni minut.

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

I shvatio sam da to neće funkcionisati.

I went to talk to a doctor friend --

Otišao sam kod prijatelja koji je lekar

i pitao ga kako bih mogao to da izvedem?

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?"

"Hoću da izdržim bez daha veoma dugo. Kako bi to moglo da se izvede?"

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

Rekao je: "Dejvide, ti si mađioničar.

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

Napravi iluziju zadržavanja daha, biće ti mnogo lakše."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Smislio je ideju

da napravim aparat za disanje

with a CO2 scrubber,

sa pretvaračem ugljen-dioksida,

which was basically a tube from Home Depot,

što je u suštini obična cev iz prodavnice

with a balloon duct-taped to it,

sa balonom zalepljenim selotejpom

that he thought we could put inside of me,

koji smo hteli da ubacimo u mene,

and somehow be able to circulate the air and rebreathe

tako da nekako mogu da dišem

with this thing in me.

sa ovom napravom u sebi.

This is a little hard to watch.

Ovo je malo teško za gledanje.

But this is that attempt.

Ali to je bio taj pokušaj.

So, that clearly wasn't going to work.

Ovo, očigledno, nije funkcionisalo.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Then I actually started thinking about liquid breathing.

Onda sam počeo da razmišljam

o tečnom disanju.

There is a chemical that's called perflubron.

Postoji hemikalija koja se zove perflubron.

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

Ona ima toliko visok nivo kiseonika

da bi, u teoriji, mogla da se udiše.

So, I got my hands on that chemical,

Nabavio sam tu hemikaliju,

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

napunio sudoperu njom i zagnjurio glavu

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

i pokušao da je udišem,

što je bilo nemoguće.

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

Kako je doktor rekao: to je kao da pokušavate da dišete

while having an elephant standing on your chest.

dok vam slon stoji na grudima.

So, that idea disappeared.

Tako da je ta ideja nestala.

Then I started thinking,

Onda sam počeo da razmišljam,

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

da li bi bilo moguće prikačiti srčani/plućni bajpas

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

i operacijom ubaciti cev u moju arteriju

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

da izgleda kao da ne dišem, dok se u stvari moja krv puni kiseonikom?

Which was another insane idea, obviously.

To je očigledno bila još jedna luda ideja.

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

Onda mi je pala na pamet najluđa ideja od svih:

to actually do it.

da stvarno to uradim.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

To actually try to hold my breath past the point

Da probam da zadržim dah preko granice

that doctors would consider you brain dead.

gde lekari konstatuju moždanu smrt.

Tako sam počeo da proučavam

So, I started researching into pearl divers.

lovce na bisere.

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

Zato što oni zaranjaju na 4 minuta sa jednim udahom.

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

I dok sam ih proučavao, otkrio sam svet

ronjenja na dah.

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

To je najneverovatnija stvar koju sam ikada otkrio.

There is many different aspects to free-diving.

Ima mnogo različitih aspekata ronjenja na dah.

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

Postoje dubinski rekordi, gde ljudi zaranjaju što dublje mogu.

And then there is static apnea.

Zatim, postoji statička apnea.

That's holding your breath as long as you can

To je zadržavanje daha što duže,

in one place without moving.

u jednom mestu, bez pomeranja.

That was the one that I studied.

To je ono što sam proučavao.

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

Prvo što sam naučio je da kada zadržavate dah,

you should never move at all; that wastes energy.

ne bi trebalo da se uopšte pomerate, jer to troši energiju.

And that depletes oxygen,

To crpi kiseonik

and it builds up CO2 in your blood.

i povećava CO2 u vašoj krvi. Tako sam naučio da se ne pomeram.

So, I learned never to move.

And I learned how to slow my heart rate down.

I naučio sam kako da usporim otkucaje srca.

I had to remain perfectly still and just relax

Trebalo je da ostanem savršeno miran i da se samo opustim,

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

da razmišljam da nisam u svom telu

i da to kontrolišem.

And then I learned how to purge.

A onda sam naučio kako da se pročistim.

Purging is basically hyperventilating.

Pročišćavanje je u suštini hiperventilacija.

You blow in and out --

Udahnete i izdahnete...

(Breathing loudly)

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

Kad ovo radite, javljaju se vrtoglavica i žmarci

And you're really ridding your body of CO2.

i eliminiše se CO2 iz vašeg tela.

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

Tako da, kad zadržavate dah, beskonačno je lakše.

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

Onda sam naučio da treba da udahnete duboko,

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

da se opustite i ne puštate vazduh

and just hold and relax through all the pain.

i da ostanete opušteni dok traje bol.

Every morning, this is for months,

Svakog dana tokom nekoliko meseci,

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

budio sam se i prvo što bih uradio

is I would hold my breath

bilo je to da zadržavam dah.

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

Od 52 minuta,

zadržavao bih dah 44 minuta.

So, basically what that means is I would purge,

To znači da sam se pročišćavao.

I'd breathe really hard for a minute.

Disao sam ubrzano jedan minut,

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

i odmah posle toga, izdržavao sam pet i po minuta.

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

Onda sam opet disao jedan minut,

pročišćavajući se što sam više mogao,

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

i opet zadržavao dah pet i po minuta.

I would repeat this process eight times in a row.

Ponavljao sam taj proces osam puta zaredom.

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

Od 52 minuta, dišete samo osam minuta.

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

Posle toga, vaš mozak je totalno iscrpljen.

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

Osećate se kao da ste ošamućeni

And you have these awful headaches.

i imate užasne glavobolje.

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

Sve u svemu, nisam najbolja osoba za razgovor kad radim to.

I started learning about the world-record holder.

Onda sam čuo za svetskog rekordera.

His name is Tom Sietas.

On se zove Tom Zitas.

And this guy is perfectly built for holding his breath.

Ovaj tip je savršeno građen za zadržavanje daha.

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

Visok je 195cm. Težak 72kg.

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

A ima kapacitet pluća

duplo veći od prosečne osobe.

I'm six foot one, and fat.

Ja sam visok 185cm, i debeo.

We'll say big-boned.

Reći ćemo da imam teške kosti.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

I had to drop 50 pounds in three months.

Morao sam da smršam 20kg za tri meseca.

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

Sve što sam stavljao u sebe

smatrao sam za lek.

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

Svaki delić hrane je imao odgovarajuću nutritivnu vrednost.

I ate really small controlled portions throughout the day.

Jeo sam vrlo male, kontrolisane porcije

celog dana

And I started to really adapt my body.

i počeo sam da prilagođavam svoje telo.

[Rezultati mogu da se razlikuju u zavisnosti od osobe]

[Individual results may vary]

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Što sam mršaviji bio, to sam duže mogao da zadržim dah.

And by eating so well and training so hard,

I pošto sam tako dobro jeo i trenirao,

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

otkucaji srca u mirovanju su mi se smanjili na 38 u minutu.

Which is lower than most Olympic athletes.

Što je manje nego kod većine sportista olimpijaca.

In four months of training,

Posle 4 meseca treninga, mogao sam da zadržim dah

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

preko sedam minuta.

I wanted to try holding my breath everywhere.

Hteo sam da zadržavam dah svuda.

I wanted to try it in the most extreme situations

Hteo sam to da probam u najekstremnijim situacijama

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

da vidim da li mogu da usporim otkucaje srca

pod prinudom.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

I decided that I was going to break the world record

Odlučio sam da oborim svetski rekord

live on prime-time television.

uživo u udarnom terminu na televiziji.

The world record was eight minutes and 58 seconds,

Svetski rekord od 8 minuta i 58 sekundi

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

je držao Tom Zitas, o kom sam vam pričao, sa džinovskim plućima.

(Smeh)

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

Pretpostavio sam da mogu da stavim cisternu u Linkoln centar

and if I stayed there a week not eating,

i ako bih ostao tamo nedelju dana da ne jedem ništa,

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

bio bih komotan u toj situaciji

i usporio bih metabolizam,

which I was sure would help me hold my breath

što bi mi sigurno pomoglo da zadržim dah

longer than I had been able to do it.

duže nego što sam inače mogao.

Uopšte nisam bio u pravu.

I was completely wrong.

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

Ušao sam u loptu nedelju dana pre zakazanog emitovanja.

And I thought everything seemed to be on track.

I mislio sam da sve izgleda da ide po planu.

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

Dva dana pre mog pokušaja zadržavanja daha,

the producers of my television special

producenti mog TV specijala

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

su pomislili da je gledati nekoga

ko zadržava dah, i skoro se davi,

is too boring for television.

suviše dosadno za televiziju.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Tako da sam morao da dodam lisice

kojih ću se oslobađati dok zadržavam dah.

This was a critical mistake.

To je bila ključna greška.

Because of the movement, I was wasting oxygen.

Zbog pokretanja, trošio sam kiseonik.

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

I u sedmom minutu

dobio sam užasne grčeve.

By 7:08, I started to black out.

Na 7:08, počeo sam da gubim svest.

And by seven minutes and 30 seconds,

i do 7 minuta i 30 sekundi,

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

morali su da me izvuku i da me ožive.

I had failed on every level.

Omašio sam na svim nivoima.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Prirodno, jedni način kog sam se setio

da opravdam poraz

bio je da pozovem Opru.

I decided to call Oprah.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

I told her that I wanted to up the ante

Rekao sam joj da hoću da povisim ulog

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

i pokušam da zadržim dah duže nego iko ikada.

This was a different record.

Ovaj put je to bio drugačiji rekord.

This was a pure O2 static apnea record

To je rekord u statičkoj apnei sa čistim kiseonikom,

that Guinness had set the world record at 13 minutes.

koji je po Ginisu 13 minuta.

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

Dakle, prvo udišete čist kiseonik

i punite organizam njime, dok izbacujete CO2

i možete mnogo duže da izdržite.

and you are able to hold much longer.

I realized that my real competition was the beaver.

Shvatio sam da mi je prava konkurencija

u stvari, dabar.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Laughter ends)

In January of '08,

U januaru 2008,

Oprah gave me four months to prepare and train.

Opra mi je dala četiri meseca da se pripremim i utreniram.

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

Spavao sam u hipoksičnom šatoru svake noći.

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

Hipoksični šator je šator koji simulira

nadmorsku visinu od 4.500 metara.

So, it's like base camp, Everest.

Kao bazni logor na Mont Everestu.

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

Od toga počinje da vam se povećava

broj crvenih krvnih zrnaca u organizmu,

which helps you carry oxygen better.

što vam pomaže da bolje prenosite kiseonik.

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

Svakog jutra iznova, kad izađete iz šatora

your brain is completely wiped out.

mozak vam je potpuno razbijen.

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

U mom prvom pokušaju sa čistim O2 uspeo sam da izdržim 15 minuta.

So, it was a pretty big success.

Tako da je to bio prilično veliki uspeh.

The neurosurgeon pulled me out of the water

Neurohirurg me je izvukao iz vode

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

jer za njega, u 15. minutu

vaš mozak je mrtav.

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

Izvukao me je i bio sam dobro.

There was one person there that was definitely not impressed.

Postojala je jedna osoba koja nije bila impresionirana.

It was my ex-girlfriend.

Moja bivša devojka. Dok sam obarao rekord pod vodom

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

prvi put, ona je proveravala moj blekberi

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

i gledala moje poruke.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Moj brat ju je uslikao. Stvarno je bilo...

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Laughter ends)

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

Zatim sam objavio da želim da oborim

Zitasov rekord, javno.

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

A on je, kao odgovor na to,

otišao kod Redžisa i Keli

and broke his old record.

i oborio svoj stari rekord.

Then his main competitor went out and broke his record.

Onda je njegov glavni konkurent oborio njegov rekord.

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

I odjednom je podigao rekord

na 16 minuta i 32 sekunde.

Which was three minutes longer than I had prepared.

Što je bilo tri minuta duže od onoga na šta sam ja bio spreman.

It was longer than the record.

Bilo je duže od rekorda.

I wanted to get the Science Times to document this.

Onda sam želeo da "Sajens Tajms" dokumentuje to.

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

Hteo sam da im javim da objave članak o tome.

So, I did what any person

I uradio sam ono što bi uradio

seriously pursuing scientific advancement would do.

svako ko ozbiljno prati naučni napredak.

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

Ušao sam u kancelarije Njujork Tajmsa

i pokazivao svima trikove s kartama.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Ne znam da li je bilo do magije ili sujeverja s Kajmanskih ostrva,

but John Tierney flew down

ali Džon Tirni je seo

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

i napisao članak o ozbiljnosti zadržavanja daha.

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

Dok je bio tamo, pokušao sam da ga impresioniram

And I did a dive down to 160 feet,

i zaronio sam na 50 metara,

which is basically the height of a 16 story building,

što je visina zgrade od 16 spratova,

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

i dok sam izranjao, onesvestio sam se pod vodom,

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

što je zaista opasno; tako možete da se udavite.

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

Srećom Kirk me je video

i doplivao je i izvukao me.

So, I started full focus.

Onda sam se potpuno usredsredio.

I completely trained to get my breath-hold time up

Potpuno sam uvežbao da zadržim dah

for what I needed to do.

koliko je trebalo.

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

Ali nije bilo moguće pripremiti se za televizijski aspekt toga:

being on Oprah.

biti uživo kod Opre.

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

Vežbao sam s licem nadole, plutajući u bazenu.

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

Ali za TV su hteli da stojim uspravno

da bi mi mogli da mi vide lice.

The other problem was the suit was so buoyant

Drugi problem je bio taj

što je odelo bilo toliko plutajuće

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

da su morali da mi vežu noge da ne bih isplutao nagore.

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

Tako da sam morao da držim noge u kaiševima koji su bili labavi,

which was a real problem for me.

što mi je bio veliki problem.

That made me extremely nervous, raising the heart rate.

To me je činilo izuzetno nervoznim

i ubrzavalo otkucaje srca.

Then, what they also did was,

Onda, još nešto što nismo nikad uradili,

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

tu je bio monitor za merenje otkucaja srca.

And it was right next to the sphere.

Bio je odmah pored lopte.

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

I svaki put kad bi mi otkucalo srce, čuo bih bip-bip-bip-bip,

you know, the ticking, really loud.

baš glasno kucanje.

Which was making me more nervous.

Što me je činilo još nervoznijim.

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

A nema načina da usporim otkucaje srca.

Obično bih počeo

Normally, I would start at 38 beats per minute,

sa 38 otkucaja u minutu

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

i tokom zadržavanja daha, pao bih na 12 otkucaja u minutu,

which is pretty unusual.

što je prilično neobično.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Ovaj put je počelo sa 120 otkucaja

i nije se više spuštalo.

I spent the first five minutes underwater

Proveo sam prvih 5 minuta pod vodom

desperately trying to slow my heart rate down.

očajnički pokušavajući da usporim otkucaje.

I was just sitting there thinking,

Samo sam stajao tamo i mislio: "Moram da ga usporim,

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

neću uspeti, neću uspeti."

And I was getting more nervous.

I postajao sam još nervozniji.

And the heart rate just kept going up and up,

A otkucaji su se samo ubrzavali,

all the way up to 150 beats.

sve do 150 otkucaja.

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

To je ista stvar koja je bila zaslužna za debakl u Linkoln centru.

It was a waste of O2.

Gubljenje kiseonika.

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

Kad sam stigao do polovine, do 8 minuta,

I was 100 percent certain

bio sam 100 posto siguran

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

da neću uspeti.

There was no way for me to do it.

Nije bilo načina da to uradim.

Pa sam pomislio: Opra je posvetila sat vremena

I figured, Oprah had dedicated an hour

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

ovoj predstavi zadržavanja daha, i ako bih rano doživeo krah,

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

cela emisija bi bila o tome kako sam depresivan.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Pa sam pomislio da je bolje da se borim

i ostanem tamo dok se ne onesvestim,

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

barem mogu da me izvuku i pruže mi pomoć i sve to.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

I kept pushing to 10 minutes.

Naprezao sam se do 10. minuta.

U 10. minutu počinjete da osećate

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

vrlo jake žmarce u prstima na rukama i nogama.

in your fingers and toes.

And I knew that that was blood shunting,

Znao sam da je to oticanje krvi,

when the blood rushes away from your extremities

kada krv odlazi iz ekstremiteta

da bi snabdela kiseonikom vitalne organe.

to provide oxygen to your vital organs.

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

U 11. minutu počeo sam da osećam

pulsiranje u nogama

and my lips started to feel really strange.

i imao sam čudan osećaj u usnama.

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

U 12. minutu počelo je da mi zvoni u ušima

and I started to feel my arm going numb.

i počela je da mi trne ruka.

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

A ja sam hipohondar, i setio sam se da utrnutost znači srčani udar.

So, I started to really get really paranoid.

I počeo sam da paranoišem.

Zatim, u 13. minutu, možda zbog hipohondrije,

Then at 13 minutes, maybe because of the hypochondria,

počeo sam da osećam bol u grudima.

I started feeling pains all over my chest.

It was awful.

Bilo je grozno.

(Laughter)

At 14 minutes, I had these awful contractions,

U 14. minutu

imao sam užasne kontrakcije,

like this urge to breathe.

kao onaj poriv za disanjem.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Laughter ends)

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

U 15. minutu sam imao

veliki prekid dotoka kiseonika u srce.

And I started having ischemia to the heart.

Imao sam ishemiju srca.

My heartbeat would go from 120 to 50,

Otkucaji srca su mi išli od 120

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

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

It would skip a beat.

Preskočilo bi otkucaj, pa bi krenulo, pa stalo.

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

Sve sam to osećao.

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

Bio sam siguran da ću dobiti srčani udar.

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

I u 16. minutu sam izvukao noge

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

jer sam znao da, da sam umro,

da sam imao srčani udar, morali bi

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

da počnu da mi odvezuju i izvlače noge pre nego što me izvuku.

before pulling me up.

I was really nervous.

Bio sam veoma uplašen.

Oslobodio sam noge i počeo da plutam ka vrhu.

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

And I didn't take my head out.

I nisam izvukao glavu,

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

već sam samo plutao čekajući da mi srce stane,

samo sam čekao.

just waiting.

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

Imali su doktore sa onim "pš",

pa sam čekao.

And then suddenly I hear screaming.

I onda sam iznenada čuo vrištanje.

And I think that there is some weird thing --

Pomislio sam da se nešto čudno desilo -

that I had died or something had happened.

da sam umro ili tako nešto.

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

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

So, with the energy of everybody that was there,

Sa energijom svih koji su bili tamo

I decided to keep pushing.

odlučio sam da se napregnem.

And I went to 17 minutes and four seconds.

I stigao sam do 17 minuta i 4 sekunde.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

(Applause ends)

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

Kao da to nije bilo dovoljno, odmah posle

sam otišao u laboratoriju Kvest

is I went to Quest Labs

and had them take every blood sample that they could

da mi uzmu sve moguće uzorke krvi

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

i testiraju sve da bi videli gde su mi nivoi,

so the doctors could use it, once again.

tako da su doktori ponovo imali koristi.

I also didn't want anybody to question it.

I nisam hteo da niko to dovodi u pitanje.

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

Imao sam svetski rekord i želeo sam

da budem siguran da je legitiman.

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

Otišao sam u Njujork sledećeg dana

I'm walking out of the Apple store,

i neko dete mi je prišlo dok sam izlazio iz Epl prodavnice

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

i reklo: "Hej Dejvide!"

I'm like "Yeah?"

"Da?", rekao sam.

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

"Ako si stvarno zadržao dah toliko dugo,

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

kako to da si izašao iz vode suv?"

I was like "What?"

Rekao sam: "Molim?"

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And that's my life. So --

To vam je moj život. Tako da...

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

As a magician, I try to show things to people

Kao mađioničar, pokušavam da prikažem ljudima stvari

that seem impossible.

koje izgledaju nemoguće.

And I think magic,

I mislim da je magija, bilo da zadržavam dah

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

ili mešam špil karata,

is pretty simple.

vrlo jednostavna.

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

To je vežbanje, trening i -

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

vežba, trening i eksperimentisanje,

(Sobs)

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

dok se trudim uprkos bolu da budem što bolji.

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

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

(Applause)
