In 1988, Argentinian magician Professor Marvo (Fernande Tejada) was about to perform the bullet catch (with his mouth) for about fifty people in a tavern in Azul. Before his assistant could fire a blank, however, a man named Marco Asprella stood up from the audience, shouted, "Catch this one, professor!" and shot him with a .45 caliber pistol. Asprella went on trial for murder, but got off with a fine and probation after testifying that he truly couldn't understand why the professor couldn't catch the bullet.
