Bullet Catch

The Bullet Catch illusion is a potentially lethal magic trick in which a magician appears to catch a fired bullet in mid-flight—often in his mouth or hand. The bullet catch illusion, despite its danger (or maybe because of its danger), remains a crowd-pleaser in the world of magic. More than a dozen performers have died performing the Bullet Catch, including Theodore Annemann and Chung Ling Soo.
