I emailed Mr Shmidt about the small fireball shooting into the mouth and it does apparently shoot a mini fireball into your mouth!! No idea how that works mind you!!

I ordered mine locally. Waiting to get it next week. Happy to post my thoughts. Methods seems clear to me, props look nice and convincing and this must be fun to do with the right audience at the right moment... and for all those who will be complaining about the cost, I am, like many, no one who can built anything from scratch. I like the box, the canon, the googles etc. So, I have a feeling it will be worth every dollar to me. Back with more info when I have this in front of me.

I really find myself drawn to this. That new Timeless effect looks very good and in a similar price bracket, but I keep coming back to this. Think it would be great fun to perform .Hope GetMental can review it once he gets it.

I really like it. The props look good. But I'm not sure if it's good for parlour or stand up

Hi All,
What concerns me as to the operation of this as surely in the wrong hands this could be treated as a "Firearm" especially in the United Kingdom as any similar mini cannon that uses a fuse is covered by the firearms act and therefore would be confiscated and destroyed under that act. Can anyone from murphys or the creator confirm this please. Regards Dr Rob |

I had a chance to take a close look at this and here is my thoughts it might help some of you.
Bullet Catch V comes in a very nice black box on the box "Bullet Catch V" is written with a nice font in white. I think the box itself is absolutely perfect its a nice black wooden box that can be mysterious in the right venue and situation and here comes the problem althought its not really a problem I wouldd call it a " matter of preference". Do I want as a proffesional performer who preparing to do an insane bullet catch in a close-up situation (parlour, close-up, stand up weddig etc so anything which is not stage)with a box that have written a huge white text that says BULLET CATCH V? My answer is obviously no way... Why? With this routine the last thing you want is the spoiler it. I mean just imagine the scenario you have a good story (lets assume you have) as you prepare the things, slowly open to box with full of weird objects, assemly the canon , take out the bullets etc.. its very interesting and the audience have no idea what is it for and that moment IF anybod have any idea believe me if anybody have a clue aboutthat you want to catch a bullet in front of them he will question himself two times cause its so surreal... Assume it there are 2 solutions 1: Get a new box for 5-10 usd 2. Scratch of the text (I will do that. If it will be a bit of dirty its just makes it even more cool looking) The props: Every single prop is a good quality and not feels like a cheap toy. This product can be a part of a living room as an interesting object that you can actually use. It looks weird and very interesting even for me as a magician (who always see weird objects) but even more for laymens. The Performance and Handling Needless to say this is not a sleight of hand routine. Once you know the "secret" you will be able to do it. Is it Safe? This is one of the most important point and YES its completely safe as long you use it as you should. So I consider it safe. Of course if you want to eyeball directly into the cannon... So you know what I mean The Instructional video is crystal clear and easy to learn also its not a fancy video with tons of effects and texts etc.... Personally I don't care I like a logical straightforward teaching so for me its perfect. About Price... is it an expensive product? I will be honest now when its in front of me and I see it and feel the props ... I would not even question the price of 500 usd for this so I find 300 usd absolutely reasonable. If you like what it does and have a chance to perform it you wont be dissapointed and I recommend you to take it. Also there are not much left from the first batch we know it for fact so don't hesitate to much on it. Overall its a great product I give it 9.5/10 Hope my opinion helps some of you.

I would never dream of performing such an effect. In our time so filled with gun violence and school-murders. Parkland and Sandy Hook. And I should stand there playing with a gun and catch a bullet. Meaningless.

I one time had a conversation with Mr. Lee Earl. The topic of a bullet catch routine came up. Lee thought the entire concept of a bullet catch routine in a mentalist show was totally absurd. He did not see the purpose of catching a bullet in your teeth was. What ability were you trying to project as possessing that related to mentalist? He thought it was ridiculous. The props look very nice, but I personally would not do it.

Does the fire hit your mouth every time? Smoke come out of your mouth every time?

Imho this is a classic of magic and can add an element of danger and thrill to a show, same as smash and stab, blockhead etc can. I have reserved my copy and look Forward to it.

Well, the principle is obvious and visible even in the trailer so the most important question which was asked several times but still not answered: is the fire in the mouth safety, real, is it easy to be presented, is it needs refills and what (for example in EU we can not buy fire effects from some websites in USA, even flash paper), so...?
Well, the questions are a lot, but this looks very important and questionable (all other looks obvious and great).
