California magician died on Halloween after being buried alive. What happened to Amazing Joe?
Briefly

"I consider myself a master of illusion and escape artist. I believe I'm the next Houdini and greater. To me, that's what an escape artist is: to put myself in an impossible situation and get out of it."
"He had a burning desire to become famous. He knew Houdini did crazy stunts, and Joe knew he had to gain notoriety by doing something people would be willing to look at."
