The Trick With The Gun
1 x 90’, 2015, HD
What happens when friends risk their lives – and friendship – for the sake of a magic trick? The Bullet Catch is the most dangerous illusion in magic. Men and women have died performing it. Magician Scott Hammell and author Chris Gudgeon set out to perform their own version of the deadly trick, and get more than they bargained for. What begins as an exploration of the hidden world of magic ends as a study of a friendship falling apart.

Vitamania
1 x 90’, 2018, HD
This year $90 billion will be spent on vitamins and supplements. Every week, a new benefit is claimed. At the same time, vitamin pills are decried as a waste of money and their producers condemned. Many doctors claim most vitamin products are useless, or can even be harmful. Others point to peer-reviewed research showing they can be lifesavers. How do we decide what to take? How do we sort the sense from the nonsense? We ask presenter Dr Derek Muller.
