(EXCLAIMS IN HER OWN LANGUAGE)
(SPEAKING IN HER OWN LANGUAGE)
(SPEAKING IN HER OWN LANGUAGE)
Holy BLEEP!
(LAUGHTER)
(LAUGHTER)
He could break his teeth,
his jawbone.
If something goes wrong,
it was my doing, my wishes,
I did everything according to
what I wanted to do.
I did everything according to
what I wanted to do.
The deadliest feat in magic
is the bullet catch.
The deadliest feat in magic
is the bullet catch.
And there are two ways
you can go about doing it.
You can do it for real...
or you can fake it.
Ironically, 12 magicians that have
faked it in the last century
died performing it.
In 2009, I performed a real version
of the bullet catch
In 2009, I performed a real version
of the bullet catch
where I convinced my best friend
to fire the gun.
And that's the last time I'll ever
ask anyone to assume that risk.
And that's the last time I'll ever
ask anyone to assume that risk.
So, from now on, I'm going to be
the one pulling the trigger.
I'm also going to use a bullet
I'm also going to use a bullet
that's nearly twice as big
and twice as fast.
I'm going to have a mirror
in one hand, and with the other,
I have to carefully pull a string
attached to the trigger
I have to carefully pull a string
attached to the trigger
which will send the bullet flying
into the steel cup in my mouth,
and there's no margin for error.
and there's no margin for error.
If anything goes wrong, it will be
a disaster right here and right now.
I'm here at the dentist's today
to get a mould taken
for a new mouth guard.
The reason I need to do that is
because, since the only other time
The reason I need to do that is
because, since the only other time
I did the bullet catch,
my teeth have shifted.
Everything has to be perfect
because the cup can't move
when it takes the impact
of the bullet.
when it takes the impact
of the bullet.
The amount of force
this bullet can give
can break his teeth,
it could break his jawbone.
What do you mean?
Cos it wouldn't be fun.
It'd be boring.
(LAUGHING) I mean, obviously.
My advice would be
not to do this trick.
Would I take your advice?No.
That's it.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
I also told you to stop eating glass
(BOTH LAUGHING)
I also told you to stop eating glass
for years now, and you haven't
listened.And they're getting bad.
Yes.I feel hot and cold
much stronger now.
That's because glass is not a normal
food that you're supposed to eat.
That's because glass is not a normal
food that you're supposed to eat.
Have you been eating
on the right side of your mouth?
Yeah, only on the right. It's so
weird.You're wearing your teeth
Yeah, only on the right. It's so
weird.You're wearing your teeth
on the right much worse.Wow.
Much worse.
Yeah, I started shifting to the
right cos the left was hurting.
Your right's worse than your left.
This is totally worn away.
Your right's worse than your left.
This is totally worn away.
All the enamel's gone,
his nerve is almost exposed.
He didn't believe me in the
beginning.I didn't believe him.
He didn't believe me in the
beginning.I didn't believe him.
I've never seen anyone do it,
I thought there was a trick to it,
but he's eating glass.
(LAUGHING)
Can I take a sip of this?
Can I take a sip of this?
Sure.Watch this now.Is that OK?
It's your glass?
He wants to see one more.
This is your glass?Yes.
This is your glass?Yes.
It's a real glass? Yeah.
(TINKLING)
(CHATTERING)
(LAUGHTER)

Be careful.
(LAUGHTER)
(LAUGHTER)
You're crazy.
D'you want to drink it just to...?
D'you want to drink it just to...?
And that's a real glass, for sure.
Yeah.
(CRUNCHING)
You should really see someone
about that.
You guys are missing this.
He's eating my glass.
He's eating my glass.
The boyfriend I always wanted.
(LAUGHING)
Might be blood, but I don't know
if you bleed like the rest of us.
Might be blood, but I don't know
if you bleed like the rest of us.
OK, let's not do that any more,
I'm scared now.
You want me to make a rabbit
appear out of your purse?
You want me to make a rabbit
appear out of your purse?
Preferably a rabbit, bunny,
Shetland pony.

(CHUCKLING)
One of the strangest characters
in magic was Mac Norton,
and he called himself
the Human Aquarium.
and he called himself
the Human Aquarium.
He had the ability to convert
his stomach into a home
where creatures could live
and then bring them up on command.
where creatures could live
and then bring them up on command.
I've spent the last ten years
trying to figure out his secret.
(GAGGING)
(CHUCKLING)
You think you can swallow
this whole potato?
(GAGGING)
(GAGGING)
(LAUGHING)
It wouldn't go down.
(GAGGING)
BLEEP!
BLEEP!
I'm getting it to here.
I don't think it's swallowing it.
They're overriding the gag reflex.
Whatever it is that stops you
from just swallowing BLEEP random
Whatever it is that stops you
from just swallowing BLEEP random
that you need to go...when you eat,
you need to unlock that.
I think that's what we need to do.
My name is Brett Loudermilk
and I'm a sword swallower
My name is Brett Loudermilk
and I'm a sword swallower
and I'm cleaning some swords
for some practice with David.
I'm getting him to get a sword down
so that we can make him better
at the things that he wants to do,
so that we can make him better
at the things that he wants to do,
which are BLEEP insane.
So you're moving your body.
Don't move your body.
It looks like you're feeling
some sort of resistance.
Mm-hm.OK.
So that was right in here?Yeah.
Yeah.It's hitting something.
So that was right in here?Yeah.
Yeah.It's hitting something.
Do you feel like you're arching?
Cos it could be hitting your spine.
So I'm only down to here.
So I'm only down to here.
Yeah.
I basically have to get it down...
It's gonna go to there.To there.
Just kind of square yourself up.
(GAGGING)
That's it.
Ah!
You don't decide, ever, in real
life, what your oesophagus does.
You don't decide, ever, in real
life, what your oesophagus does.
But this, you have to train yourself
to go, oh, OK, I have to figure out
But this, you have to train yourself
to go, oh, OK, I have to figure out
how to work this muscle now.
It's really crazy you can override
your complete BLEEP body.
Yeah.
Ah!
Ah!All right.
It's perfect. It doesn't feel like
I can go any further.
It's perfect. It doesn't feel like
I can go any further.

I'm going to get beat up today.
You're a magician.
You're a magician.
Why didn't you do this?
We're doing this
so we can figure out one new trick.
(LAUGHTER)
(LAUGHTER)
He's almost like addicted
to the danger.
There's no way to stop him.
That's what he wants.
I'm about to try for the first time
taking a bullet
I'm about to try for the first time
taking a bullet
from a .22 calibre rifle
that I'm going to operate myself.
Can you splay the cards like that?
Can you splay the cards like that?
Can you do that?No, I can't.Try.
Here, take this. Take it.
Try to spray them
from back here to me.
Yeah, but to me. Hold on, do it
to me. Spray 'em this way.To you.
Yeah, but to me. Hold on, do it
to me. Spray 'em this way.To you.
Yeah. Leave 'em. No, leave 'em.
Spray here, go. Hard, go.
Perfect.

Put your head back.
Put your head back.
Relax your lips.
Never.
It's amazing.

That's the word, insane.
Let's assume you're not David Blaine
any more.OK.
You're now in the audience,
the arena.Right.
And the guy you're watching
got hurt.
And the guy you're watching
got hurt.
Do you admire him?
I'm intrigued.
Like, wow. Then I'd be like,
what's the reason,
like, why is he shooting himself
in the mouth?
like, why is he shooting himself
in the mouth?
Why doesn't he just do card tricks
and get rich?
That's what I'd wonder.
Guess what his reason.
Why would he do that?
Guess what his reason.
Why would he do that?
I think he finds a really high
excitement in it.
Where does it tie?
Do this real fast.
Just don't move your body,
just pull your hand.
Just don't move your body,
just pull your hand.
I don't know. I have to admit
that's something
I still don't fully understand,
this idea of putting your life on
the line, either for entertainment
this idea of putting your life on
the line, either for entertainment
or...philosophically
to say something
that's, you know,
bigger and greater.
Just move over a little bit.
It always felt like, if things go
wrong, like, if you do this stunt,
It always felt like, if things go
wrong, like, if you do this stunt,
and you die, it's the opposite of
inspiring a person,
it's like, OK, he had it coming.
it's like, OK, he had it coming.
I think we're good to go with that.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's like...
he's almost, like, addicted to
the danger, it gives him this...
he's almost, like, addicted to
the danger, it gives him this...
rush, this...
There's no way to stop him.
That's what he wants.

I would know that if I became
a father, and I was in his shoes,
things will shift,
things will change.
things will shift,
things will change.
Oh, that's it, 70 Rancho Drive.

Wow! Wow!
You're thinking of something
that I could never know,
You're thinking of something
that I could never know,
even if I researched you.
Yeah, yeah.
And nobody here would know it.
So I couldn't ask him
what's she gonna think of, correct?
OK, they might know it.
(LAUGHTER)
I'd know?You guys would know it.
(LAUGHTER)
I'd know?You guys would know it.
Is it something that's personal
to you?Yeah.
OK, it's fine.
They didn't tell me anything.No.
OK, it's fine.
They didn't tell me anything.No.
It would be really weird
for them to bring it up.
Go anywhere you want, where nobody
can see what you're searching.
Make sure nobody's looking at
what you're searching.
When you search it,
I could watch your fingers,
When you search it,
I could watch your fingers,
but that's not what this is about.
I'm not kidding.
OK.And when you're done searching,
it'll bring you to an article.Yep.
OK.And when you're done searching,
it'll bring you to an article.Yep.
OK, scroll through.Mm-hm.
Think of a word in the article.
And you have a word?
Does that word somehow relate to
what you're thinking of?
Does that word somehow relate to
what you're thinking of?
OK, so it's random. So it's not like
the word will tell me
OK, so it's random. So it's not like
the word will tell me
what you were thinking of, correct?
No. No, it's really random.OK.
So let me ask you a question.
Keep that hidden.
You're thinking of...
like, when you were five years old.
Mm-hm.
And there was something...
I don't know much,
And there was something...
I don't know much,
but it's something that was,
like, with your family, like...?

In order to...
(LAUGHTER)

You were also...you were also
thinking of a word, right?
From the article.
You just thought of a word.Yes.
From the article.
You just thought of a word.Yes.
Nothing related.
It was the opposite...
of what you were thinking of,
in a weird way.
Yeah.Hold on.

Think of a letter in that word.
In the word, think of a letter.OK.
OK, wait...

in the mouth?
Why doesn't he just do card tricks
and get rich?
That's what I'd wonder.
Guess what his reason.
Why would he do that?
Guess what his reason.
Why would he do that?
I think he finds a really high
excitement in it.
Where does it tie?
Do this real fast.
Just don't move your body,
just pull your hand.
Just don't move your body,
just pull your hand.
I don't know. I have to admit
that's something
I still don't fully understand,
this idea of putting your life on
the line, either for entertainment
this idea of putting your life on
the line, either for entertainment
or...philosophically
to say something
that's, you know,
bigger and greater.
Just move over a little bit.
It always felt like, if things go
wrong, like, if you do this stunt,
It always felt like, if things go

You're thinking of something
that I could never know,
even if I researched you.
Yeah, yeah.
And nobody here would know it.
So I couldn't ask him
what's she gonna think of, correct?
OK, they might know it.
(LAUGHTER)
I'd know?You guys would know it.
(LAUGHTER)
I'd know?You guys would know it.
Is it something that's personal
to you?Yeah.
OK, it's fine.
They didn't tell me anything.No.
OK, it's fine.
They didn't tell me anything.No.
It would be really weird
for them to bring it up.
Go anywhere you want, where nobody

Make sure nobody's looking at
what you're searching.
When you search it,
I could watch your fingers,

OK, so it's random. So it's not like
the word will tell me
what you were thinking of, correct?
No. No, it's really random.OK.
So let me ask you a question.
Keep that hidden.
You're thinking of...

Mm-hm.
And there was something...
I don't know much,
And there was something...
I don't know much,
but it's something that was,
like, with your family, like...?

You were also...you were also
thinking of a word, right?
From the article.
You just thought of a word.Yes.
From the article.

Nothing related.
It was the opposite...

in a weird way.
Yeah.Hold on.

Think of a letter in that word.
In the word, think of a letter.OK.
OK, wait...

100 years ago, there was a guy,
and hypothetically, he was able
to convert his stomach
into an aquarium.

He would drink a large amount of
water and put creatures inside and
he'd spout them out into people's
wine glasses filled with water.

See, the oesophagus starts here,
and you can see how thin that is?
How are you gonna get a creature
to go up that?It's that thin line?
How are you gonna get a creature
to go up that?It's that thin line?
Yes, the thin red line.
You know what I just realised?
If I'd studied this book
and discussed this
before I'd worked on it,
and discussed this
before I'd worked on it,
I'd never think it was possible.
It would do the opposite.
It's amazing.Excuse me,
I still don't think it's possible.
It's amazing.Excuse me,
I still don't think it's possible.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
You're thinking of a small creature.

Cos he's gonna draw something.OK.
Let me try this.
Let me try this.
I wanna draw...
Yeah, you're gonna try to draw it.
A small creature that can fit

All right.
All right.
(LAUGHTER CONTINUING)

There's nothing in my mouth?No.
So he sewed his mouth shut

Live frogs came out of his mouth.

So we go to the desert
a day before the show.
And you decide to pull the trigger

And then we realise that actually
the mouth guard broke.
He won't tell me, he had no doubt,
do it again the very next night.

Sweet.
Can you take everyone through
what the plan is?

So, if anything were to happen,

It's almost there.
I really think that we've solved all
the problems with this device now.

the problems with this device now.
I think it's gonna be good to go.
The lower mouthpiece is
of a soft material,
like an athletic
mouth guard material.
like an athletic
mouth guard material.
The top is hard acrylic
that obviously has to be hard
in order to stop the velocity
of the bullet.
Yesterday at the rehearsal,
the piece I had,
when it took the bullet that we did,
it broke.
So he jumped on an airplane, brought
this whole dentist kit and his tools
So he jumped on an airplane, brought
this whole dentist kit and his tools
to modify the thing so it'll fit
and actually stop that.
I really feel good about it.
I think it'll work out really well.
I really feel good about it.
I think it'll work out really well.
But my advice to him from the start
was...Not to do it.Exactly.
David, don't do this, man.
David, don't do this, man.
I would never build a prop for
card tricks an hour before the show.
He's gonna put his life on the line.
Maybe he got balls, man.
He's gonna put his life on the line.
Maybe he got balls, man.
'44 minutes to the show,

I'm very nervous.You are?
How do you feel?

It's a crazy life.
My heart is racing.
Is it? Mine too.
Mine actually is racing.
Mine actually is racing.
BLEEP nervous BLEEP.
I don't even know why.
I mean, I know why. You've got to
shoot yourself in the face.
It's like we're all doing something
that's like we're about to rob
Macey's or something.
No, that would be less scary.
(LAUGHING)
That's not bad, actually.We'd be
in jail, practising card moves.

There's no margin for error.

So, what happened
when you fired the gun?
So, what happened
when you fired the gun?
Time just started to move...
really slow.
When the bullet struck the cup...
When the bullet struck the cup...
..there was a high-pitched ringing
in my ears.
And I felt an impact in the back of
my throat.
And I felt an impact in the back of
my throat.
And I was sure the bullet went
right through my head
and I was dead.
And then suddenly,
I became aware of the pain.
And it brought me back.
And at that moment, I realised
And at that moment, I realised
that the mouth guard had simply
shattered again
and I was alive.
Oh!Are you good?
Right, you OK?
Right, you OK?
The BLEEP broke!
Agh!
This popped off.
This popped off.
This whole thing came off.
(CHEERING)
(CHEERING)
Thank you, everybody, for being
such an incredible audience.
Peace and good night.
Peace and good night.
(CHEERING)
Never again.
David will not do that again.
David will not do that again.
Of course we are, we're BLEEP.
I quit. I'm telling you right now.
We're gonna do it right.
End of story.OK.
We're doing it right.
We're doing it right.
Listen, there's no point
to argue right now...
You think I'm gonna stop
cos it's wrong?
I did it to you.You didn't do
anything.No, it's my fault.
I did it to you.You didn't do
anything.No, it's my fault.
Hate me, I don't care. I will not
help you with this ever again.
I promise you, I swear to God.
I believe you.
I think that, if we're all gonna be
on the same page, he won't do it.
I think that, if we're all gonna be
on the same page, he won't do it.
If we all said we were leaving, he'd
still do it. That's gonna fuel him.
Guaranteed.He will.Guaranteed.
What if he dies?I'd be BLEEP
traumatised. Are you kidding?
What if he dies?I'd be BLEEP

But I would rather we know that
BLEEP did everything I could
to help him than me walking away.

It's something that really matters
to him.
You don't think this really matters
to him?
I think that it's possible
to convince him
I think that it's possible
to convince him
to do a kick-ass show
that doesn't require dying.
Your biggest fear is to die
from old age or something.

Of course!
I mean, if I was gonna die,
I'd like to die, like, pretty quick.
