I remember hearing this has been done before, and if so that's cool. I have been thinking of a paint ball "bullet" catch using a paint ball gun, and a selected and signed or marked paint ball.
Do your standard routine. I think it has possibilites, a bit safer, more modern. What do you all think? |

I think this could be awesome. What comes to mind is to have different colours of paintballs and have one chosen. Then after having it shot at you could spit out a mouthful of coloured spit. It could be funny if done correctly.
Of course; you'll have to look at the use of a gun of any kind in a theatrical sense. |

Hi,
Very interesting, I love the idea!! Besides having magic as a hobby, I have been a paintball player since the late 80's. I used to play with a team, that played all over the US. I don't know how much knowledge you have with paintball guns. But just as a FYI for anyone not familiar with paintball guns: Just be careful with figuring out how to do this... Paintball guns are not toys and require the same respect you would give a loaded weapon. (Sorry, I'll get off my soap box, I just would hate to hear that anything bad happen to a fellow magician or anyone for that matter.) All else aside this is a great idea! I'd love to hear if you do add this to your show. Mark

That has the possibility of being a great act. I don't know if it could have the same impact as the bullet catch, but for me I could make it a comedy routine somehow.

There is another thread about this in "The Triple Dare" forum, if you have access. A lot of possible presentations and problems are discussed in there.

Hi There,
This has been done before... and I'm the guy. I have been doing this effect for many, many years and have taught it to two people who have also performed it with my permission. If anyone is interested in doing this routine it will be available very soon through Bob Kohler. |

You could use a gumball so you won't have to hold spit in your mouth, that's kinda gross dude, & the whole purpose of calling it a "catch" is that you catch it before it explodes.
