On October 22, 1926, the illusionist Houdini occurs at the théâtre de Montréal. After the show, he retired, exhausted, in his dressing room. For several days, a pain that stabs the belly doesn’t let go. Lying on a couch, he poses for a young artist came to do his portrait. Without warning, a band of students from the university of McGill burst into the room. One of them, named Joselyn Gordon Whitehead, wants to be clever. He asked the magician if it is true that he can take any punch in the stomach without feeling pain.
just Wow…
