Probably because he didn't!

I remember seeing a live show about 25 years or more ago where a magician 'caught' a bullet in his mouth - it was pretty convincing at the time.

There was me thinking he actually caught a bullet with his teeth!

Don't think there is any illusion there. Anyone who is crazy enough could of done that. 'Just' a case of the person 'catching' the bullet standing very still, and the bloke firing the gun best make sure his is a good shot!

Still, quite impressive!

The illusion is in the size of the bullet and what it is made of ,the powder used etc-using the word gun and bullet automatically makes you think he is being superhuman.Errr no- kids have guns which fire vacuumous plastic "bullets"and most people could take one of those.A piece of hard plastic fired at normal speed 700-1200mph would still have taken his head off.shame he didn't use that.
