Ginuwine Passes Out After Criss Angel Magic Stunt Goes Wrong [Video]

Video footage obtained by the outlet shows the R&B artist holding his breath while submerged under water in a glass cube before slamming the sides to signal his distress.

Staffers surrounding the cube immediately pull the “Differences” crooner, 51, out of the box and attempt to calm him down before he ultimately passes out.

A source told the publication that an ambulance was called and Ginuwine, whose real name is Elgin Baylor Lumpkin, was carried off unconscious. He later made a full recovery, the outlet noted.‘

“It all happened so fast, it was like he got tapped out in a fight,” the source told the publication. “In the show he was trying to overcome his fear of being under water as he couldn’t hold his breath for longer than 15 seconds before trying the stunt out.

“Although he failed in rehearsals, he still went ahead with the stunt on the show and everyone was in tears,” the source added.

A rep for Ginuwine later told Page Six that the singer is just fine.

“Ginuwine is okay and he made a full recovery,” the rep said. “He was conquering a fear. Fortunately everything is okay as he was working with Criss Angel, who’s the best in the business.”

Angel posted a teaser for “Magic With the Stars” on his Instagram Tuesday, and Ginuwine commented, “My folks.” It’s unclear if he commented before or after the accident.
