That night my wife , son , and I went to the show . It was the first time I had seen them live , and I was delighted . It was one of if not the best shows I had ever seen .
On the 16th Teller called and out of the blue mentioned they were interested in the bullet catch . Could I bring all my props to their hotel in the morning ? Sure I could . The next day I was at the hotel with my 357 ( actually a . 38 I just said 357 in shows ) with a scope on the top . My glass holder , some real bullets , a magic marker , and some other bits of business ( Sorry guys ).
It took some convincing , not much , that my method was 100 % safe . P & T asked to take the props , gun and all . I was ecstatic . We talked on the phone a few times ; I suggested a laser sight instead of the scope . They had thought of that .
They asked how much I wanted for it . “ Your friends of Randi , you have helped him at times and I respect you both for that , play with it and we will talk later .” I did not want them to pay me to be honest .
During the next few months , I was amazed . P & T took gun training classes . Talked to the FBI on gun safety and laws . Every day they were thinking up a new way to improve the effect , a new wrinkle in the routine . After a few problems , they perfect the P & T Magic Bullet .
