I say that the The Chinese torture cell was a major acomplishment. He had to hold his breath for 3 minutes.
In 1908, Houdini introduced his own original invention, the Milk Can escape. In this effect, Houdini would be handcuffed and sealed inside an over-sized milk can filled with water and make his escape behind a curtain. As part of the effect, Houdini would invite members of the audience to hold their breath along with him while he was inside the can. Advertised with dramatic posters that proclaimed "Failure Means A Drowning Death", the escape proved to be a sensation. Houdini soon modified the escape to include the Milk Can being locked inside a wooden chest, being chained or padlocked, and even inside another Milk can. Houdini only performed the Milk Can escape as a regular part of his act for four years, but it remains one of the effects most associated with the escape artist. Houdini's brother, Theodore Hardeen, continued to perform the Milk Can (and the wooden chest variation) into the 1940s. The Milk Can and the Overboard Box are presently housed at the American Museum of Magic.

that depends on who the person is. I can hold my breath for about 12-15 seconds. I saw a person on TV who could hold their breath for about 5 minutes.
In a 2003 essay, Robert Holder quotes Weismuller as saying that he could hold his breath for "three minutes or more".
the average person could hold his breath for up to 1 minute under water. with the right training could be any where between 2min-5mins
The constriction of your throat is your tongue pushing up against your throat to hold your breath. The bruised feeling is likely to be some type of infection.
We had a competition to see who could hold there breath the longest
an American stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts. He first attracted notice as "Harry Handcuff Houdini" on a tour of Europe, where he sensationally challenged different police forces to try to keep him locked up. This revealed a talent for gimmickry and for audience involvement that characterized all his work. Soon he extended his repertoire to include chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, straitjackets under water, and having to hold his breath inside a sealed milk can.
