Mythbusters: Behind the Myths Tickets

Mythbusters Live brings the excitement of the hit Discovery Channel show up close and personal. The show, which was created by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman and debuted in 2003, takes on popular myths, rumors, adages, urban legends, and feats seen in movies and uses a controlled, scientific process to evaluate their validity. Their team is comprised of special effects, construction, and other experts who assist in re-creating these scenarios. They also often consult authorities in specialized fields, such as firearms and explosives, when the myths they seek to test require such expertise.

Since the show's debut, the team has investigated hundreds of myths. Some of the most interesting ones include:

• Will a penny dropped off the Empire State Building kill a person and/or penetrate the pavement?
• Was it possible to survive an escape from Alcatraz prison?
• Can a ninja deflect a bullet with his hand?
• What is the quickest way to chill down a six-pack of beer?
• Can sticking a human finger in the barrel of a gun stop a bullet?
• Is it possible for a person to survive a 22,000-foot fall using the explosion from a 1000-pound bomb to break the fall?
• Can hypnosis bring back dormant memories?
• Is it possible to shoot a grappling hook from a car to a building and use it to make a 90-degree turn at a high speed?
• Can sneezing with one's eyes open cause the eyes to pop out?
• Could ancient Chinese armies have used paper armor that was as effective as steel?

These are just some of the questions the team has tested, and with Mythbusters Live tickets, you can get a taste of the curious spirit that has made the popular show such a success. Join Adam and Jamie for a real eye-opening experience at Mythbusters Live!
