The game of Russian Roulette is a fascinating and deadly one. Hans Moretti from Germany has made a living from presenting such an effect. However, many of the methods have been fraught with difficulties and danger. Our version is NOT ! We are still the only magic dealer in the world who manufactures and sells the ‘Bullet Catching Trick’ and now we offer you the opportunity to purchase a truly sensational version of RUSSIAN ROULETTE.
A container is examined and a number of live bullets and dummy bullets are mixed around. Six bullets are now placed into the pistol magazine and it is placed in full view in a wooden display stand. Three solid wooden targets are now shown and a dinner plate is clamped to the front of each target. The performer explains that when the magazine is loaded into the pistol he will face the pistol and try to guess whether the bullet about to be fired is a blank or a live one. Since all the bullets appear to be the same when loaded into the magazine, nobody can know which is being fired.
The performer now stands in front of one target and asks the marksman to take aim at his forehead. It is BLANK he declares and shouts ‘FIRE’. The pistol is fired and the performer is unharmed, so his prediction was correct. Again the pistol is aimed at the performer. He declares that this is a LIVE bullet. He steps to one side and asks the marksman to fire at the dinner plate on the target. He fires and the PLATE SHATTERS. It was a live bullet! He declares the next bullet to be blank and the gun is fired at his head. He is unharmed so once again he guessed correctly. The fourth bullet is declared to be a BLANK and once again the gun is fired at the performer without harming him. Two bullets now remain. The performer declares the next bullet to be LIVE and when the gun is fired at the second target the plate SHATTERS! One bullet remains is it live or blank ??? The performer stands in front of the third target and declares it to be BLANK. The gun is fired at his head and just at the last minute the PERFORMER THROWS HIMSELF TO ONE SIDE AS THE PLATE SHATTERS WHEN THE SHOT IS FIRED. How lucky that he realised at the last minute that it was in fact a LIVE BULLET!
Does that sound like a really EXCITING SCENARIO? Well the good news is that NO LIVE AMMUNITION IS USED AT ANY TIME. THE GUN USED IS A LEGAL BLANK FIRING REPLICA PISTOL which really looks and feels like the real thing. The magazine containing the mix of so called live and dummy ammunition is AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHED IN THE DISPLAY STAND. The targets are operated automatically and electronically to smash the plate from a spring loaded mechanism inside the target. Two of the targets contain an electronic counting system which can be preset so that once switched on they will count the number of shots fired and automatically trigger off, smashing the plate on the pre-selected shot you have set it for. This illusion virtually works itself, all you need is SHOWMANSHIP to create a sensation. You receive the three electronic targets, one pistol, two magazines, a supply of ammunition and full routine.
