Catch a bullet in your Teeth ?
I was watching Derren Brown last night on his great magic & mentalism show and it reminded me of Chung Ling Soo - an English Victorian Magician who was onstage in the persona of a Chinese Magician. He used to catch bullets in his teeth !At one point I did a few illusions myself ...
Then I remembered why I gave up doing the Bullet Catch routine..
