ALL magic tricks (on stage or otherwise) like this are accomplished by some crazy ass, elaborately constructed props, and a little misdirection. Like imouseone mentions, the ice block thing was just a prop, and he was trading off with some other stand in when the people were not actually watching.
How is this water tank one being done? I don't know. But I'd be willing to bet that he's NOT in fact underwater for the 7 days. If he's able to break the record for holding his breath when its all said and done, then props to him, thats an actual record.
I'm not intentionally hating on him either. I think he is easily the best slight-of-hand magicion I have ever seen. (based on his Street Magic special) I just don't see how staying underwater for a week counts as "magic." Unless, of course, the joke is on the public by the fact that he's not actually doing it.
Just my 2¢.
