Procedure: Traditionally this is done with a real gun and a gaffed round, the bullet having been replaced with a wax casting. The explosive charge in the shell may also be somewhat reduced. The explosion of the charge and propulsion of the wax bullet through the air effectively vaporizes the wax bullet within a short distance. (This is a good reason for not reducing the charge too much.)
The wax bullet can be made to look like lead by coating it with lamp black. Jean Robert-Houdin is said to have used this method. Several ways have been used to make a wax bullet look and also feel like the real thing by coating it with a thin shell of another material. One way is to make a candy coating, the color of lead, that hardens sufficiently to be mistaken for lead or metal. Any candy cookbook will explain how to make and color a hard-candy dip. Another technique is to coat the wax with acrylic craft paint.
But making your own gaffed rounds is as crazy as making your own flash paper: if you don't kill yourself you will probably maim or disfigure yourself. If you are lucky it will only be you that gets hurt. Taking the bullet from a real round is dangerous business. Replacing it with a wax replica is also not a task for amateurs. Better to talk to a magic dealer about purchasing professionally prepared fake rounds made to your specifications.
The sheet of glass breaks because of the impact of vaporized paraffin, and is a safety device as well in that it stops the paraffin from reaching the target. The glass is safety-, breakaway-, or sugar-glass, to prevent glass shards from being sprayed about the stage. Protective goggles and full body cover (long pants and long sleeve shirt, etc.), are a good idea, too.
P&T ask a volunteer to put his initials on the bullet. They ask another volunteer to initial the casing. The TV camera is close enough to see the initials on the bullet and casing. Backstage, the image of the initials is taped and frozen on a screen and used as a model for someone using a similar pen to make similar-looking initials on a mashed-up slug. When not on TV they simply read the initials out loud and a backstage staffer just fakes it with the right colored pen. Another way to pass the initials to your own bullet marker is to select your assistants in advance (or as part of the routine) and ask that each print or initial their names on a release form--which is then given to backstage staff.
The slug is passed to whoever is catching (at times P&T have switched roles, and they have even each shot and caught bullets simultaneously) when the bullet-proof vest is put on. Penn turns his back to the camera momentarily to get the vest, at which point the bullet is tossed into his mouth by the assistant or simply handed to him. He could also mouth it from a pouch inside the vest as he pulls the vest over his head (which is not the usual way such vests are put on, but that's how Penn does it).
When the slug and the empty casing are examined after the shooting, the volunteers are shown the slug and casing and asked "Are these your initials?" They are not asked "Are these the initials that you wrote on the bullet/casing?" which is why their responses are cut off after they say "yes" and before they can say "but that's not my handwriting . . ." And of course, the casing is the original.
When, as has happened, the glass does not break, P&T just ignore it.
That's it. Stunningly simple, eh?
