Recently, a video was posted online showing part of an episode of ‘Trick’d Up’. This fast paced magic special features amazing illusions performed by Criss Angel. In the video, Angel is shown taking punches in the stomach from past MMA champions Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture and Frank Mir. To his credit, Angel manages to remain on his feet after receiving the blows. In all likelihood, Angel was inspired to perform this feat by legendary magician Harry Houdini, who became known for doing the same stunt. Sadly, Houdini died after being punched unexpectedly by an over enthusiastic fan.
