Show Info
Written, Directed and Performed by: Rob Drummond
Co-Directed by: David Overend
A stunt so dangerous Houdini refused to attempt it, the Bullet Catch has claimed the lives of at least 12 people since its conception in 1613.
Acclaimed performer, director, playwright (and magician) Rob Drummond plays modern-day marvel William Wonder in this theatrical magic show featuring mind reading, levitation and, if you're brave enough to stay, the most notorious finale in show business.
