Houdini often demonstrated that he could withstand hard punches to the stomach… but this might be what ultimately killed him.

Unfortunately acute appendicitis even with medical intervention before antibiotics was commonly a death sentence.
The narrator of this video is a tool… Biased liar
He did not die, his last great escape was from living.
Very disappointed in you, Fascinating Horror. There is a whole backstory to that punch, complete with conspiracy stories and paranormal debunking. Truly worthy of a normal video, not this 3rd grade Weekly Reader version.
isnt this subject worthy of a full length video?
When I was working at a summer camp, there was a little girl known for headbutting people in the stomach. She did it to some other girl who was a few years older than her and the girl's appendix ruptured 😲 the nurses say she was already experiencing symptoms of appendicitis, but still, it was a pretty shocking story. Everyone survived in this case lol
c'est ballot…
Nicely condensed account. Thanks.
why is this video so shoyt?
PRANKING HARRY HOUDINI (GONE WRONG) (NOT CLICKBAIT)
For my next trick
makes a fist
I’m gonna make you disappear
That or he was poisoned by one of the many mediums whose livlihoods he ruined.
I wish this were longer. Not much info at all, and nothing I didn’t already know.
Well…that was lame.
it wasn’t just a fan, he was also a boxer.
Well, you can't parry everything
I really hate the youtube shorts format. Hope this isn't going to be the norm for the channel now.
Harry Houdini would’ve been so much cooler if his name was Harry Nuts
urgh, this one looks really interesting but I fucking hate youtube short videos.
"I think Houndini did this once, why if I remember correctly he was out of the hospital in no time."
-Radio from the brave little toaster, 1987.
I had heard that his wife was involved, and had maybe paid the assailant. Scary shit
As a magician’s assistant, I remember often hearing many stories about Houdini. I respect his legacy and work.
This is the first time I know of a case before you teach it to me. Thanks for covering the story!
No that piece of shit sucker puncher is what killed him. Coward.

It's extraordinarily unlikely that someone's appendix could burst from a punch. Especially without considerable damage to surrounding soft tissue. He went on stage with a high fever that he thought was just the flu but turned out to be appendicitis.

Houdini was a real life wizard to me as a kid. I didn't give a damn about Merlin or Gandalf, but Houdini was absolutely the coolest guy since Odin.
Sounds like a suckered punch to me.
I wonder how he was able to stand the pain from the appendix. I was 8 when mine was close to bursting and the pain was unreal
Houdini died of AIDS
bro i feel bad for Gordon. imagine seeing if you could prove something and accidentally killing Harry Houdini
I didn't realize houdini was old when he was punched as well. He looks like he was 50
If you have had appendicitis you would know about it and not attend the next show…….
Awe bless his heart
Some people are just assholes. The man that hit him was definitely in that category.
I highly doubt the punch had anything to do with his appendicitis and later death from his appendix rupturing. He died from a peritoneal infection causing Septicemia.
“It’s debated whether the punch caused his ruptured appendix or whether it was already ruptured, but one thing we know for sure is Houdini died because of the punch”. Man you just said we don’t know that, you really need to proofread your script better
Dude really got punched by saitama
😂😂😂
Houdini never claimed he could take a punch to the stomach. He was not a boxer. He never advertised this nor demonstrated it. He was into physical fitness and never took serious risk during any of his stunts. Accounts vary about "the punch"
Used to live across the street from his house on Laurel Canyon, Hollywood Hills. Rumor is its haunted as f.
It was just a prank bro
Watch, dream fans are gonna do a real life manhunt for dream and kill him
Appendicitis isn't gonna start from a punch lol
