Just a question..

Just a thought... how do you discover that you have the ability to swallow a sword?  Is it one of those things you do on a dare?  Or, you know, you're walking along with your sword and you trip...?  Seriously.

 And along this thought, I go online and I find that there is an actual Sword Swallowers International Association.  Awesome.  

Oh, and they take donations.  I'm assuming its for educational purposes and for helping the swallowing-gone-badly.

Glad you stumbled upon the Sword Swallowers Association International. Thanks for mentioning us!

To answer your question, learning sword swallowing is far from an accidental "discovery". Our 2 year research study of sword swallowers around the world revealed that it takes most sword swallowers from 2 years to 7 years of daily practice before one can learn to repress the gag reflex, the peristalysis reflex, and the retch reflex and learn to swallow a sword. It took me 3 years of daily practice 10-12 times per day before I got my first sword down.

Now I mostly perform for churches and corporate events, as well as TV documentaries, etc. This is what I do full-time for a living and a ministry, and I am blessed to be able to perform around the world.

Hope this helps!

All the best,
