I saw a Chinese circus performer doing swallowing including doing a long neon bulb that when they turned off the lights we could see it glowing through his body. There must be some other Chinese or Russian swallowers out there.

PS- Nick I can't believe you forgot Andrew!

Besides Keith from the Bindlestiff's, and Johnny Fox, in NYC there is Tyler Fyre who works Coney, as well as Todd Robbins, and Fredini.

Hey Nick,

Count me too.

It's Jim Mackenzie here in Houston, TX. Met ya about 13 years ago here.

Anyway... sword swallower. Found out about SSAI thanks to p-net. Thanks Jim.

I've been a new member for a couple of years now. I guess it was about time I got involved.

Hell that makes 29 listed just from p-net. Obviously a lot more than 43.

I saw a guy in Prague in 1992 swallowing not one but three curved swords.
Uuuugh.... an image that sticks in my mind.
Shamefyully I didn't get his name.
Mind blowing stuff.

And he's a few more Nick..

St Mathew in Perth with the current Guiness record of 14 swords
in the one swallow.

Patrick from the Pompidou centre who used to work with Ludo
(if he's still alive).

Franck from Archaos (used to do violin bows as well).

I know he's already in the list but I think I saw the same
Chinese sword guy as Rex, at the Sacremento State Fair,
USA, and yes he did the neon. And like Rex, I can't believe
you left out Andrew as well.

Only 10 to find!

That list is by no means comprehensive. There are 83, including me, Travis Fessler, listed here:
