Sebastian the Bullet Catcher

Edward Sebastian Adriani, who went by the stage name 'Sebastian,' was a magician who specialized in catching a .22 caliber bullet between his teeth. He even had steel dental plates put on his teeth -- to help him better 'catch' the bullets. Other parts of his act included placing a concrete block on his wife's stomach and pulverizing it with a sledgehammer. Read more about him here.

If you believe in the bullet catching trick I'd like to speak to you about this really neat fixer-upper in downtown Athens. The roof needs a bit of work but the view from the back lanai is to die for.

Hang on. Are you telling me the magic in magic acts isn't real? :ahhh:

Sorry, Alex, the magic is all wrapped up in that little bungalow in Athens I've got on the block.

This was my grandfather and his trick is as real as the day is long...not. But the sun does not set in Athens...and that's a fact.

Yia Sou Adriani,

Did you want more information on that property I'm selling in the middle of Athens? The roof leaks and there is some trouble with one of the walls but other than that it has a beautiful view of the city all the way down to Faliron
