Bullwhip artist Robert Dante and the daring Tina perform a playing card cut at Ahlman's Shooters Roundup on Aug 23, 2008 - except the card slit evenly and sailed off in two different directions in an instant. One piece flew 10 feet in front of them, and the other piece can be seen flying behind Tina's dress.
Dante enjoys a few moments during a practice session with some swarming bees. ("No bees or other insects were injured or harmed or even scared the slightest little bit during the filming of this humorous episode, created in the spirit of Wiley E Coyote and Road Runner.")
