Illusionist David Blaine is to live underwater for a week in a human-sized aquarium outside of New York's Lincoln Center. Armed with little more than an oxygen tube, a pair of pants, goggles, and a catheter, Blaine lowered himself into an 8-foot sphere filled with water shortly after 1 p.m. Monday and began his latest stunt aimed at defying physics and illiciting wows from the public.
The Brooklyn-born magician grabbed a couple of hours of sleep and was snatching "little naps" between waving and smiling at a continual stream of well-wishers in New York yesterday.

His hands are shriveled and sore, yet Blaine keeps up his fish-in-water act. "The hands have been pretty bad, but everything else is good," Blaine told the Daily News in an interview from the bubble as he peeled off a glove to reveal his prune-like fingers ... I wasn't prepared for the hands - that's a little bit of a scary sign because all the skin is starting to come off," he said. "My body's responding, but it's also coping. It could be a lot worse."
