Home-made bullets? Not sure that would be such a great idea really...
I bought this trick AGES ago but it's been sat at the back of the cupboard for ages. It is a great little thing to pull out in the pub but it's not the sort of thing you'd carry around day to day so the occasion has to be right.
I am out in Iraq at the moment and it would be PERFECT to have it out here for the bar but I'd never be allowed to travel by air back to the UK with it as it is a BULLET!
I've found that a good presentation is to whip it out in a public bar and say that a mate of yours has just come back from overseas and gave you it as a souvenir. It's perfectly safe though as the only thing that can set it off it the percussion cap in the base. You can light a match under it and the heat won't set the gunpowder off as it is not in direct contact. Then proceed to light a match underneath it to prove your point.
Hey Presto!
As I've stated above. In the right place, at the right time, this trick is a great little performer and certainly gets results. It's simple but very, very effective.
