The Bullet Catch by Ricky Smith

Our latest exhibition delves into the Bullet Catch. It traces the feat through several of the different variations performed throughout history along with a detailed story concerning the recent and fantastic demonstration by David Blaine and Bill Kalush of the Carl Skenes' method. Additionally, we have included a translation of one of the earliest known mentions of the feat, as well as a number of photos and videos.

We've recently upgraded Gibecière with an elegant new embossed cover, and it is quite a sight to behold. The contents are equally fascinating with articles on "The Thought-Reader Craze" by Barry Wiley and "An Investigation into Magic in Japan After the Opening of the Country, Part V" by Mitsunobu Matsuyama. This issue also features an expanded page count and numerous photos and graphics, resulting in an attractive and stimulating addition to your library.
