The Answer:

As unbelievable as it sounds the answer is yes! On our tv show back in 2003 we featured a segment on a man named Hans Moretti who could do this—we didn’t actually show him do it however, opting for a slightly safer stunt of him catching an arrow….Back in 1986 we also featured a magician who did a similar stunt:
