Eminem Does His Own Stunts in ‘Houdini’ Video Behind-The-Scenes Footage: ‘That’s Actually Not Easy’

Eminem goofs around and does his own stunts in a behind-the-scenes clip from the video shoot for his 'Houdini' single.

Lest you think Eminem doesn’t suffer for his art, Slim Shady pulled back the curtain on Monday (June 10) to provide fans with a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of the video for his “Houdini” single. It opens with Rapboy doing a series of jumps off a bed onto a crash pad, repeatedly face-planting on the black mat you don’t see in the finished product. Cut to one of the oldest tricks in the book as Rapboy “climbs” a building and gets blown around by a wind machine, appearing to struggle mightily against gravity while actually just standing on a slight incline shot from the side.
