What, bullet catching?
Dunno, probably a bullet already in the guys mouth and the laser sight is intentionally offset by a foot to the right, the glass is still broken by the REAL bullet, but it fly ofstage into a huge sponge wad or something out of sight..
I don't know how the levitation was done, but I'd like them to put the camera on the floor next time and film *under* his feet.

Well that's what I thought. I've watched many times and can't see how they've done it. I know the original version involves a wax bullet that melts when its fired and yes the bullet is already on the other persons mouth but I just can;t fathom how they swapped bullets. Levitation is easy. Just raise yourself up on the ball of one foot. Standing at about a 45 deggree angle with your back tp the person. There are loads of websites that tell you how. For the David Blaine show though they film the crowds response then film it again with wires and stuff to make it look like hes 12 inches off the ground. Not that impressive really.

I was reading a magicians magazine in a dentists waiting room. There was an article saying how wrong it was to do that. May have been bollocks so I can;t say for sure but it does kind of make sense. You never see the whole person whos watching when they show him really floating only an arm or something. When they shoe it from behind the people so that you see him rise and get their reactions you never see his feet. Kind of seems to make it a safe bet the article was true. Wish I'd kept it though.

It is a bit weird i'll grant you. I can only assume someone left it there. It was kind of a trade magazine. Had loads of adverts in it for magician equipment and such like. Fucking expensive stuff though.
