Tantric Master Stands Neck-Deep in 1,550 lbs of Ice for 35 min. in Rockefeller Plaza ...

          ... in Rehearsal for Guinness Book of World Record Attempt    WHEN    Friday, January 25           7:20 am - 7:55 am    WHERE   The Today Show/ NBC           30 Rockefeller Plaza -- outside on plaza    WHAT    Wim Hof will stand up to his neck in a clear 6 ft. high container           filled with 1,550 lbs. of ice in Rockefeller Center tomorrow           morning -- for 35 minutes!            It's all practice. Hof will go for the real gold (or cold?) the           next day, Sat., Jan. 26, at 2 pm, outside the Rubin Museum of Art,           150 W 17th Street (at 6th Avenue) when he will chill for an hour           and 12 minutes in an attempt to best his own Guinness Book of           World Records citation.            On Saturday at 4 pm, after his feat, Hof will talk to the public           in the Rubin's auditorium.            Hof controls his body temperature by the tantric practice of           tumo -- and is the only non-Tibetan in the world to have mastered           the art.    WHY     Hof's extraordinary demonstrations kick off BRAINWAVE, a citywide           series exploring how art, music, and meditation affect the brain.            Presenting more than 100 events in New York City through June           2008, the BRAINWAVE series is the brainchild of six non-profit           organizations: Rubin Museum of Art, Exit Art, Graduate Center of           the City University of New York (CUNY), The Philoctetes Center for           the Multidisciplinary Study of Imagination, and the School of           Visual Arts (SVA) in association with the American Museum of           Natural History.
