Another historic event. Dorothy Dietrich becomes the first women in history to catch a bullet in her mouth. The bullet catch has killed twelve men and injured many others. Harry Houdini said he would try the bullet catch after well known headlining magician Chung Ling Soo was killed doing a bullet catch.

Harry Houdini then back out of the bullet catch. Harry Houdini even received a letter from the then Dean of Magic, Harry Keller requesting that he not do the bullet catch. Keller warned Harry Houdini that there were too many things that could go wrong doing the bullet catch. Harry Houdini, it seems, heeded his advice.
