The Human Cannonball

Here comes The Bullet

It's one of the most dramatic acts you are ever likely to see - a human cannonball, flying over from America. David - The Bullet - Smith is coming across the Atlantic by aeroplane.

But he'll be flying high over the arena at Wadebridge propelled by cannon-power.

The massive 10,000lb, 35-ft cannon will be shipped by sea and transported to the show by heavy-duty haulage lorries. David will fly at 50 miles per hour over 60 metres, to land with vital accuracy in a safety net. On the way he will perform a mid-air somersault and promises a great show.

He reckons this will be the biggest and most powerful human cannonball display that Europe has ever seen.
