"When the bullet struck the cup, there was a high-pitched ringing in my ears and I felt an impact on the back of my throat," Blaine said about the incident. "I was sure the bullet went right through my head and that I was dead. Suddenly I became aware of the pain and it brought me back. At that moment, I realized that the mouth guard had shattered again, and I was alive."
Luckily, Blaine will be fine, but he does have a lacerated throat.
Meanwhile, viewers reacted on Twitter with a range of emotions:

I'd have a lot more respect for @davidblaine if he could make the whole Kardashian/Jenner mess disappear... for ever.
