He was hired to help realize the body suspension stunt of Criss Angel for his TV show Mindfreak in which he was suspended in "suicide position" from a helicopter flying over the mountains in the Valley of Fire.

Falkner was formerly married to model and performer Masuimi Max and was instrumental in launching her career.

He also appeared in the movie "Modify."
