Dorothy Dietrich Biography

Dorothy Dietrich is one of the most popular and richest Magician who was born on October 31, 1969 in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, United States. She was the first woman to have executed a straitjacket escape and the only woman to have caught a bullet in her mouth.

She was a guest on the Montel Williams show.

The 2006 Columbia Encyclopedia included Dietrich among their “eight most noted magicians of the late 20th century”, and entertainment writer Samantha Hart in “The Hollywood Walk of Fame: 2000 Sensational Stars, Star Makers and Legends”, called her a “world-class magician” and “one of the world’s leading female magicians”. Early on, as a teenager, she already was referred to as “The First Lady of Magic”, a reference later copied by others.Dietrich, often called the female Houdini, has duplicated many of Houdini’s original escapes, and has gone one step further by doing the Jinxed Bullet Catch Stunt – the one that Houdini backed away from.

In 2008, Bust (magazine) reported about Dietrich’s 1988 attempt to catch a bullet in a metal cup in her mouth. She performed it at Donald Trump’s Resorts International’s 10th anniversary in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was televised on a special called, Just For The Record, The Best Of Everything. This came about after catching a .22 caliber bullet for the yearly convention of the International Brotherhood of Magicians in Pittsburgh. It was shown on Network TV’s Evening Magazine, and on The New You Asked For It with Rich Little as host. She performed it again in Canada on a TV show called Autobus du Canada for the highest amount ever paid a magician on Canadian television. She is the first and only female to successfully complete the bullet catch in the mouth. It was done under test conditions with the bullets bought by a committee. Brought in under guard, an independent marksman picked and fired the bullet. One of two chosen bullets was fired into a concrete backstop and the second was fired at Dorothy. Dietrich challenged anyone who could prove that the bullet did not leave from the gun by offering a $10,000 reward. Feature stories and articles about her have appeared in major publications such as The New York Times and TV Guide.

She grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania with six brothers; she often played the damsel tied to the railroad tracks.
