Houdini used to do this act where he would flex his muscles and he would get someone from the audience to come and punch him. Well after one of his shows a guy surprised him and punched him in the stomach without him flexing. Houdini was severely winded but recovered enough to offer to repeat the attempt; the punch bounced off his flexed muscles. However, later Houdini was taken ill and later died of a burst appendix.
