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.

that a hypothesis or do you have proof?

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.
