The bullet catch is a conjuring illusion in which a magician appears to catch a bullet fired directly at him or her—often in his or her mouth, sometimes in his or her hand or caught with other items such as a dinner plate. The bullet catch may also be referred to as the bullet trick, or occasionally the gun trick.

Famous quotes containing the words bullet and/or catch:
“It’s not the bullet with my name on it that worries me. It’s the one that says “To whom it may concern.””

“There is grey in your hair.
Young men no longer suddenly catch their breath
When you are passing;
But maybe some old gaffer mutters a blessing
Because it was your prayer
Recovered him upon the bed of death.”
