Here are some amazing stunts from Buster Keaton. Best of all, there's an eye popping stunt at 4:52 where he dives into another person's body and disappears!

Re: Buster Keaton disappears
In the stunt where he fell from the water tower, he broke bones in his shoulder and neck; he didn't find out about them until years later.

not cyril. it was a musician who commissioned the illusion. Don't know the name. the person who built it showed the video to me.
