He had nightmares with him dying in fire and decided to get rid of his fears by facing them directly. His idea came from a childhood memory, when Copperfield had escaped from his uncle’s burning house. The stunt involved surviving inside a tornado of fire at 2000 degrees and risking to be burnt alive. This trick has been performed by David Copperfield in 2001, without using camera tricks. Nowadays, magicians perform this stunt in full view, as opposed to escaping while the tank is covered by a curtain.
It took Houdini 2 minutes to escape from the cell, and the audience was in suspense from the moment he was lowered into the tank to the moment when he emerged safe and sound. The stunt implies a tank filled with water and the magician being lowered inside the water head down and handcuffed. Houdini is best known for escaping from the Chinese water torture cell. Unfortunately, a magician from California called Joe Burrus attempted the stunt on October 1990 to be crushed by 7 tons of soil and rubble and die from asphyxia. Some of the magicians performing this trick at this day and age are David Blaine and Criss Angel. He had already prepared a special coffin for the stunt, and he was ironically buried (dead!) in the same coffin. Houdini had planned to perform this trick, but his unexpected death prevented him from completing his plans. A recent version was performed by Penn and Teller. Just a few performers keep doing this today because the trick is considered cursed. People died because of this stunt after forgetting to replace real bullets with blank ones or due to spectators secretly loading nails into the gun. Even if the stunt does imply some illusionary elements, the danger is real, because the one who performs it needs to catch a bullet in his mouth or sometimes in his hand. Riders are arranged 2 across in 3 rows for a total of 30 riders per train.This trick has been performed by many magicians over the years, and things didn’t work out well all the time for magicians, assistants, and the audience. As of February 2020, Desperado is closed with no plans of operating in the future.
