Why is it hard to hold my breath underwater?

they practice holding their breath trying to increase the time they can hold there breath, in fact david blaine recently held his breath for about 8 minutes i think. a few weeks later on ripley'd believe it or not a Russian held his for about 15 minutes. one secret how they can do this is DON'T SMOKE I heard david blaine held his breath for much longer than that. I was told that magicians like him train themselves by inhaling huge concentrations of pure oxygen from a type of oxygen tank before entering the water.

Then when they get a lightheaded feeling from all the extra oxygen to the brain, when they go underwater they start feeling normal again until the breath runs out.
