bob's Blog - BULLET CATCH- Rob Drummond, Traverse

A masterpiece of mystery, suspense and bamboozlement. Rob Drummond is very skilfull at creating atmosphere and suspense. THe mind-reading tricks are actually more intriguing than the bullet catch itself. It may depend for success on who gets chosen to be the audience member who will fire the potentuially "lethal" shot - we had a particularly cool female lawyer, who had just the right degree of seriousness to make it work.
Quite a cult - a popular show, but on reflection probably less than the sum of its parts.
Not particularly difficult technically, but does require a claustrophic smallish space. The Studio in the bowels of the Traverse was ideal.
