I get a sore throat if I swallow a piece of jagged food the wrong way. It scratches my throat and takes ages to heal. So what the hell is this guy’s secret? he swallows 11 swords and still ends up smiling into the camera.
For dessert he chews on some burning sticks. He’s clearly insane.
Sword swallowing is an ancient art practiced in many countries. But the whole idea of sticking something 3-foot-long and razor sharp down my throat fills me with dread. And puts me off my breakfast.
Why 11? One clearly isn’t enough, but 10 is surely a nice round figure to settle on. It’s like the guy has got something caught in his throat and is trying to tease it out with his version of a toothpick.
And then he finishes up by chomping on some burning sticks. As you do. I couldn’t see this guy live because I’d be shouting at him to stop. As it is, I was stuck covering my eyes and squirming in my chair while watching the video.
