There are lots of people who train themselves to hold their breath for several minutes so they can go skin diving (non-SCUBA) particularly to harvest sponges. Of course this is done not remaining motionless "to conserve energy".
Honestly I hate David Blaine. He shouldn't even call himself a magician anymore. It gives guys like David Copperfield, Criss Angel (sp), and Penn & Teller, and more a bad name.

I saw it last night. Kinda sucked for him though, because he had held his breath for a long time, then when he was on his final minutes, he lost it. The poor guy must be furious at himself for not breaking the record (not to mention he has lung problems now). I turned to my mom while watching it, and said, "What is America coming to? We're watching some dude hold his breath!"
The guy was insane for doing it. Submerging yourself underwater for that long is not magic, it's a combination of luck and really good lungs (which he wasted on this stunt). He's not a magician. He's a daredevil.
I like his traditional street magic. Anybody see some of the clips they played of his real magic? Kind of cool, but he does some incredibly dumb things that have a good chance of him gettin injured. But he has a lot of heart to try and pull that off.
