If you can do Blaine’s tricks as well as Blaine, you should be a professional magician. Guys like him and Penn Jillette are making bank.

He definitely didn’t get shot in the mouth. Think about that usually ends. Magicians can’t defy physics.

Yup, you’ve mostly got it.

I have no idea what this means, so I’m going to assume it’s a compliment.

You’re tedious.

Here. It took me 2 minutes of googling to find this.

You’re asking how you bullshit with a camera??? Are you not familiar with the industry of special effects? We’re constantly fooled by cameras.

How the hell do you think one would actually catch a bullet in their mouth? It’s a trick, man. If a real bullet actually hit a cup that was in somebody’s mouth, the cup would shoot through the back of their head. Think, McFly, think.

We’ve been shaming for over a year and all it’s done is cause the Trump supporters to coalesce around the idea that the left is full of condescending elites. It was the constant shaming that won Trump the election. We are reaping what we sowed.

“This is a stunt. As you mentioned, he really is firing a bullet at his mouth.”

Yeah, I don’t get the Blaine-hate. The guy is a master of his craft and one of the best card mechanics, ever.

The metal cup is just there for misdirection.

He’s just fucking with you.

“it looks like someone just told a joke and he’s trying to decide if it offended him or not”

It is absolutely not a stunt. It’s an illusion; a trick of misdirection. He’s not really firing a bullet into his mouth. Jeez.

I also love Penn and Teller and have seen them three times.

“I think Blaine’s version is that he actually does get shot at.”

Why is it “irresponsible?” He’s a magician and any reasonable person understands this is a trick and not a stunt.

Yes, there’s an illusion at work.
