    Fukk Chris Angel. You can't catch a bullet.

    Mythbusters and common sense says so.

    I Believe Chris Angel is an emo-douche

    I don't like him because 95% of his act in public is fake and he uses plants and actors.

    Exactly. All he does is stop the camera, change a few things and start filming again. Not fooling anyone.

    Twelve magicians have died doing the bullet catch trick. Actually 13, I am now looking for a new assistant:



    Deaths Associated With the Bullet Catch:
    Coulen (1500s) beaten to death with his trick pistol
    Kia Khan Khruse (1818) Indian magician- report of his death onstage may have been false
    Madame deLinsky (1820) magician's assistant killed when real bullet loaded into chamber by mistake
    Giovanni deGrisy son of Torrini, supposedly Robert-Houdin's mentor; could be a fictitious story; reportedly Torrini fired the gun that killed his son
    Arnold Buck (1840) died when a volunteer secretly added nails to the gun barrel before firing at him
    Adam Epstein (1869) his wand, used to ram home the balls in the rifle barrel, broke inside the gun; he was killed by wand shards
    Raoul Curran (1880) killed by a member of the audience who jumped up out of his seat and shot him without warning
    deLine Jr (1890) his magician father shot him onstage
    Michael Hatal (1899) he failed to switch blank cartridges for the real bullets that killed him
    Otto Blumenfeld (1906) he also failed to switch bullets
    Chung Ling Soo (1918) killed by a faulty trick gun
    H. T. Sartell he also failed to switch bullets
    "The Black Wizard of the West" (1922) his wife purposely fired live bullets at him
    Ralf Bialla (1972) fell off a cliff because of constant dizziness caused by injuries from bullet catching act
    Doc Conrad (1977) killed during practice of the Russian Roulette trick, a version of the Bullet Catch
    Fernando Tejada (1988) killed onstage during a performance in Columbia

    My parents and my younger brother saw the show in Vegas and said it was phenomenal. I'm sure that to some people it just isn't their thing, as I personally have no desire to ever go see it, but the guy is good at what he does, hence why he makes the big bucks doing it.

    Chris Angel's show at the Luxor was probably THE worst show I have ever seen in Vegas. Cirque totally dropped the ball on this one.

    I personally don't watch Sons, there is a few stuff that is too weird for TV in my opinion (bathtubs of piss and such), but I know a lot of people that like it.

    Sons of Anarchy is one of the most popular shows on TV.

    Sons of Anarchy is better than that Breaking Bad shit.

    Dudes acted like The Wire never existed and said Breaking Bad kicked its ass.
