Our mentor, Johnny Thompson, had already lost two friends to the Bullet Catch when we started working on it, and he asked us to please not do it, but we felt we could do it safely, and Johnny knew we had a better chance of being safe with his help than without it, so he worked with us on it. Since we started doing the trick in 1996, I have had a gun fired at my face onstage 4,460 times. On any given night, chances are I’m staring down the barrel of a gun.
