:Ah, well if we're mentioning television shows... On I've Got a Secret, Garry Moore once had Doc Edgerton in person as a contestant. (This was a popular panel show to which they would invite vaguely interesting guests and the panel had to guess the guests' "secrets.") Edgerton's "secret" was that he was going to photograph a bullet in flight, cutting a playing card in two, right there on live TV. After the questioning was over—I don't remember if the panel guessed corrrectly, they were actually very good and they might have—the curtain rose on the setup, 0.22 rifle, card, backstop, Microflash and all. Edgerton explained. Moore said "This card right here?" giving it a demonstrative flip with this card, which, of course, naturally through it out of alignment and there was a pause while Edgerton and his assistants had sighted through the gun barrel and realigned the card. (It occurs to me that I probably wouldn't have put my finger in the place where a bullet was planned to go, but now that I think about it Moore had a little streak of bravado... once got his hand broken on live TV during one of their stunts.)
