Swallowing A sword may feel unconfortable and leave "a taste of stomach acids and metal" in your mouth, but it's a hell of a party trick.

Very cool! Thanks for the link. (I love the look of the site by the way.)

I was getting a funny feeling just from the front page. I'll pass on the xrays, thanks just the same.

True, nice site design, though!

If you want a good book on fire-eating and sword swallowing in particular, and carnival life in general, check out Memoirs of a Sword Swallower.

You have to respect this guy's artistic integrity. He could have sold that domain name for a cool million, back in the day.

Niftiest sword-swallowing I've ever seen- dark room, neon tube. Sort of gross. Very cool.
