The stunt, as seen in the Vegas show, now sees Blaine performing the trick in front of 20,000 people at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
In the video, when Blaine triggers the bullet, the shield shatters. Blaine had a lacerated throat.
Blaine said: "Time just started to move really slow."
"When the bullet struck the cup, there was a high-pitched ringing in my ears and I felt an impact on the back of my throat. I was sure the bullet went right through my head and that I was dead.
'Suddenly I became aware of the pain and it brought me back. At that moment I realized that the mouth guard had shattered again, and I was alive."
