Water Spitting

[clapchap]

Anyone do this act or know where to find information to learn it?
Thanks,

Find the nearest baby!

Describe the act you're talking about. I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

Alex The Jester does a watter spitting act in his show, but I'm not sure if it's THE water spitting act you're talking about.

Find a Ringling Clown. They will know.
With a little practice you MAY be able to
learn a variety of spitting techniques. Depends to some extant on the shape of your mouth and teeth.

Good luck!

There's a guy working Cologne who drinks (literally) ten litres of water, stores it in his stomach and then brings it up and spits a constant stream of water at his crowd for minutes...
He's African (Kenya, I think), and it's a skill learned to carry water over large expanses of hot dirt...

Sadly, being able to hold large amounts of water in your stomach will not enable you to travel large expanses of desert.

Will enable you to spit back at a camel though.

I think the idea was to bring the water back to use at home.

Carrying Water Over Hot Dirt

It turns out that most Africans have been wise enough, over the years, to use goat bladders to carry water home -- once cleaned out they result in a container that yields FAR tastier contents!

Note: one of the performers, Tube, in the Jim Rose Sideshow used to drink quarts of beer, then run a tube down into his gullet thru his nose and pump his stomach dry. He would then challenge the audience to come up and take a taste. Shockingly, he'd almost always get a taker.

I never actually saw this (thank goodness) but (hyperbole notwithstanding) Jim's book "Freak Like Me" documents the act.

Sorry, i've been in canada for a while. I'm talking about an act similiar to what kim said- taking in a lot of water (more than the average human can hold) and spitting it back out in various comic manners (again, longer than the average human can spit). I have a friend that actually just got accepted into Ringling as a clown, and i wanted to learn the act after seeing him do it last year in the Circus Smirkus show.
Thanks,
