There once lived a man named Frank Cannonball Richards. This man had a very unique talent, in that his stomach was pretty much indestructible.
I've no idea how he discovered his talent, but I always like to imagine that it was when he accidentally ran face first into a lamppost, or something relatable like that. Because let's face it. We've all been there. Anyway, once he discovered his ability, he made the most of it. Firstly, he charged people to pummel him in the gut. He even let Jack Dempsey, an at the time heavyweight boxer, perform his knockout blow on him. 3 times in a row. With no effect!
Secondly, he upped his game! He began letting people whack him with giant sledgehammers! To begin with, he let them hit him one at a time, but eventually he turned to just lying on the ground and getting smashed! Quite literally. Finally, he decided to test his luck. He stood directly in front of a MASSIVE CANNON, instructed his potential executioner to load the ball, and had it fired into him. Here's an unbelievable, yet true, photo:
And the effect?
He was knocked over. To immediately get back up again. This became his full time job, and twice a day, he was smashed into by a massive cannonball. Health and safety would never allow that nowadays! He performed the trick twice a day, as any more, and it would get too painful.
He died age 81, surprisingly not from cannon fire, but was immortalised on the cover of a Van Halen album:
