Derren Brown, the british ‘psychological magician’
(for want of a better term)
will attempt this live on tv, you can even apply to be the person who loads the gun.

he has previously been able to do Bruce Lee’s one inch punch, read minds, predict outcomes etc
and he always states he is doing it by using psychology, not ‘magic’
A very interesting guy

I clicked on the apply link, and the application is the most bizzare I have ever seen. You’re asked which animal in a zoo you would release into the city, and wich you would kill. You alsi have to assign colors to numbers and make a short story involving frogs at a table, a large empty room (looks kinda like a dance studio), and a laughing older woman. Odd…
