Many guys punched Harry Houdini, it was a common Houdini stunt that he frequently invited people to do to demonstrate how he could not be hurt. Nothing happened to any of them as Houdini wanted them to punch him. If you mean the guy that caught Houdini by surprise before he could prepare as he needed to for this to prevent injury, probably contributing to the ruptured appendix that killed Houdini a couple weeks later - nothing. He likely suffered from self imposed guilt though. Remember, Harry Houdini's act involved inviting punishment and potential injury and appearing to be unaffected!
