I stumbled across this wiki entry and I really think this guy might be the most underrated man in the history of history. There isn't a lot on his wiki but let's take a look at his life, shall we?
His offical job titles are an obvious combo, illustrator and magician. He was born in Germany in the year 1674 and died in 1740, he lived so long for the time period and especially his unique circumstances. He was born without hands, feet or thighs and somehow managed to have 4 wives and bang out 14+ children. Wiki says that "in addition to conjuring, Buchinger enjoyed a great reputation as an engraver and an artist." I really did not know that conjuring was a profitable enterprise during those times but Matthias rocked it hard. It is said that his hands were "finlike" but he still made some pretty sick engravings, on his self portrait if you look close (AT THE PICTURE) it shows how the hairs on his head are actually biblical psalms. Now, his real profession was being a magician and he did such great feats as making birds appear out of thin air and was a master of cards and also my favorite pastime, archery. He also created a bunch of instruments and was the only person to play them. This guy was fucking cool.
