Introducing "The Bullet" presented by the New Jersey Lottery. Known as “The Bullet,” David is heir to the throne of being the world’s most accomplished human cannonball, carrying on a great family tradition of being the highest and farthest flying cannonball of all time. From breaking the world distance record to blasting over incredible obstacles such as Ferris wheels, concert stages, even part of the Grand Canyon. Next up: a world-record attempt by soaring over a hot air balloon when he performs at the 38th annual New Jersey Lottery Festival of Ballooning! “Before he even climbs down the barrel of his 34-foot-long cannon, David has a big net to fill,” said Festival Executive Producer Howard Freeman. “His sister, Jennifer “The Cannon Lady” Smith, has been the most popular attraction we’ve ever had. He has his sights set high as he’ll try to launch himself over a balloon.” Click HERE to learn more about "The Bullet!"
