David Blaine: What Is Magic?
“Watch David Blain attempt the death-defying bullet catch!”
Synopsis
David Blaine travels around America to perform tricks in the UK premiere of his show *What Is Magic?* He visits New Orleans, where he carries out a money trick in front of locals, producing hundreds of dollars at their fingertips before stopping off at New York to conduct magic in front of Orlando Bloom. The jewel in David's crown is his shot at the infamous *The Bullet Catch*, a trick which sees a 22 calibre bullet being fired at point blank range directly at the magician, who then has to catch the bullet in a small metal cup in his mouth. The stunt is filmed using Phantom Camera technology, which shoots 10,000 frames per second so that not a fraction of the action is missed.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 10
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
