The Bullet Catch

Many magicians have died attempting the bullet catch illusion. Penn & Teller double the ante in their version, firing two bullets into each other’s gobs (and catching them, without fatality). Sadly, the trick can’t be performed in the UK, ‘because you have stupid, stupid gun laws!’ says Teller. ‘It seems like the only place in the world where we can do that trick now is Las Vegas,’ explains Penn. ‘Las Vegas: where you can have prostitutes, drugs, tobacco and firearms.’
