David Blaine has unveiled plans for his next death-defying stunt. The magic man plans to hold his breath underwater for more than 16 minutes.

Blaine's previous feats have included being buried alive in a coffin for a week, living in water for seven days, and fasting for over a month while suspended in a box over London's River Thames.

The illusionist will now try his hand at going underwater without oxygen in a bid to break the Guinness World Record of 16 minutes and 14 seconds.

Blaine will perform the stunt on 30 April live on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Will he be eating more glass in the meantime?
