Re: Impossible
Normal loaded round, even if just the bullet had mass, it is too topheavy to stay.
Not on a mirror, you would not see the bottom of the round.
I would not dent, glue, tape or otherwise modify my nice wood desk surface.

Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Re: Impossible
Since there was no response to the Photoshop comment, I'll take another guess.
Superglue the backside of the round to the end of something like a steel gauge block or even another small pistol round. A 32 ACP would be fine.
Neither would show up in the picture and it can "stand" there all day long.

Unless I own some kind of industrial vacuum pump, there is no way to generate that kind of suction without seeing it in the picture or sucking up the round entirely.

I know, you put the round in front of your computer and you just keep the Axeman's signature on the screen in front of it and the round just doesn't move. Kinda like my scrolling once I get to one of his posts.
