Bullet Catch - More than just a magic show.
"But I can't help thinking; would things have turned out differently if I had picked save?”
I'm gonna start off by saying this was a lot more than just a magic show. It was intertwined with short chunks of a story, which made the whole experience much more enthralling.
The story was about a magician who fails to perform the bullet catch and is shot dead by a volunteer in front of a live audience. This story was told in the form of letters from the poor volunteer/killer to his wife, and a short scene acted out by Mr Wonder and his volunteer, displaying the events of the ensuing court case. You may be confused at some points due to the spontaneous jumping back into the story, so try to keep up.
He also made the volunteer pick a book from a pile, find a word, and memorise it. He then guessed the word, which was pretty awesome. He also asked her to think of a memory, and a person involved in that memory, whose name he then guessed. Well, nearly. It was an unusual name, so it was only to be expected that he couldn't guess exactly.
It was a good show, but there were a few small flaws - the tricks were good, but not exactly mind blowing, and there was a loose end involving a part when he had asked the volunteer to pick out a personal item to represent a weapon; that didn't really go anywhere.
In conclusion, Bullet Catch was an outstanding magic show, but you'll enjoy it if you like stories just a little bit more than magic tricks.
