"Harry Houdini, who has always been my favorite and a big inspiration for so many things, died when he was 52," says David. "I've always thought 52 should be the mark, you don't want to push until the point that you break. So I have a few more years of pushing and then I'm going to shift to what people like to see me do more, which is just magic and bringing that to kids in hospitals, which I love doing."
He also revealed that he is currently planning his final stunt. "There's one that's a culmination of everything I've ever done that I'm obsessed with but it's a pretty over the top ambitious idea, so I'm trying to put it together, and it will be my last one."
As we know, David frequently states in interviews that Houdini died in his Water Torture Cell. This time he parsed it somewhat, saying, "[Houdini] had done the water tank, collapsed on stage because he didn't want to disappoint the audience even though he had severe stomach pains and then he was rushed to the hospital and died."
