FAQ – Interview Questions for Sword Swallower Dan Meyer Dan Meyer FFAAQQ –– IIInntteerrvviiieeww QQuueessttiiioonnss ffoorr SSwwoorrdd SSwwaalllllloowweerr DDaann MMeeyyeerr QQ::: How/where did sword swallowing start? AA::: Sword swallowing started in India about 4000 years ago in 2000 BC by Indian fakirs. QQ::: WHY did YOU want to learn sword swallowing? AA::: I saw sword swallowers firsthand as a missionary in India. I’d been a clown, juggler, and fire- eater for over 25 years, but learned there were at least 3-5 fire-eaters in every major city x 50,000 = 150-250,000+ fire-eaters and millions of jugglers! In 1997 when I heard that there were less than a DOZEN professional sword swallowers left in the world, it REALLY piqued my quest to learn! QQ::: How did YOU learn? How long does it take to learn? AA::: It can take 3-7 years to learn. Took me 3+ years 1997-2001 practicing 10-12 times every day . QQ::: You also perform “Glass-eating” and the “Human Blockhead” – What is that? AA::: Blockhead is pounding 4-5” nails, spikes, icepicks or even a running drill into the head. QQ::: Why do you perform fire-eating, glass-eating, blockhead and sword swallowing? AA::: 1) . Always wanted to do REAL magic – This is as REAL as it gets – Real fire, real swords, REAL DANGER - being the REAL DEAL! 2) . I’m passionate about preserving this ancient dying art, 3) . demonstrating how incredible the human body is , and 4). Watching the audience’s faces! QQ::: As a CAR SALESMAN, did you really swallow swords whenever you sold a car? AA::: Yes! My manager said to “make the buying experience one the customer will NEVER forget” so I’d “swallow steel to move metal!” Worked like a virtual business card - customers NEVER forgot! QQ::: How do you work sword swallowing in performing for churches and touring with bands? AA::: Besides corporate events, TV programs, documentaries, I perform for church youth groups, Upward Unlimited Awards nights, performing artists/bands on national/int’l tours. I deliver a penetrating message that pierces to the heart and leaves an impact that audiences NEVER forget! QQ::: So what’s the trick? What happens to the sword? Where does the blade really go? AA::: NOT a “trick” or “illusion” , it’s a real “ FEAT ”! Describe path in medical/layman’s terms – Down esophagus, between lungs, nudge aside the heart, down into the stomach. Show x-rays. QQ::: What does it feel like to swallow a sword? AA::: Sometimes cool or cold going down. The sword nudges the heart aside and the blade leans against the heart, so you can feel and see the heart beat on the blade! QQ::: Isn't it DANGEROUS? Have you ever hurt yourself? AA::: YES! Cut throat twice, and punctured stomach while swallowing 5 at once – almost died! QQ::: What's the most swords you’ve ever swallowed at the same time? AA::: 8 swords at once! Show video/pictures – working on swallowing 10 at once now… QQ::: You’re the Executive Director of the Sword Swallowers Association Int'l? What is SSAI?

  • Read an Excerpt
    Ann Charles ______________________________________________________________ A Bunch of Monkey Malarkey An excerpt … _________________________________________________________ From Chapter One… Chapter One Tippytoe, Louisiana Madam Electra’s Fortune Teller Tent One hour until showtime “I’m thinking about taking up sword swallowing, Electra,” said the bear of a man sitting across my parlor table from me. “Sword swallowing?” My palms hovered over Ol’ Blue, the crystal ball handed down through my family for generations. “Eugene, you just got over your fear of swallowing fire. Why do you want to mess with a good thing?” Eugene had a popular act here at AC Silly Circus’s freakshow division. He started out as “The Giant Man,” making the crowd “oooh” and “ahhh” with his intimidating human size. Then he shapeshifted into his furry werebear self, lit the end of a torch on fire, and swallowed the flames, all without burning himself alive in the process. “Fire is boring these days, not to mention the heartburn is a killer. You wouldn’t believe how many antacid pills I’ve gone through already this week.” “That’s because we’re in Cajun country. You’ve been eating spicy jambalaya and garlic seafood gumbo since we hit the state line. Plus, all those deep-fried boudin balls you keep popping in your mouth like candy can’t be helping your gut. I thought you were off pork, anyway.” His doctor had recently told him that too much pork fat in his diet made him more flammable. “Oh, those aren’t the pork boudin. They’re alligator with rice and peppers mixed in and deep fried to a crispy brown perfection.” He licked his chops at the mention of them.

  • Of Swallowing Swords Sarah Blaskovich Published: February 18, 2015 7:26 Am
    Video: Pregnant Dallas woman enjoys ‘danger’ of swallowing swords Sarah Blaskovich Published: February 18, 2015 7:26 am In front of a live audience, Veronica Hernandez will stick a 14-inch blade down her throat at 9 months pregnant. “It’s hard enough being a pregnant woman who already has gone through morning sickness,” says Hernandez, who goes by the stage name Jai Le Bait. She’ll activate those gag reflexes once more as she slowly puts a sword down her throat at World Sword Swallower’s Day in Grand Prairie on Feb. 28. Could that be dangerous to the baby, I had to wonder? “The human body is awesome,” says the Dallas mom. “This is my one opportunity to show off what my body is capable of doing pregnant. [Let's] just hope my son isn’t born with a pierced ear!” Jai Le Bait is part of a very small fraternity of sword swallowers. In fact, only a few dozen people participate in this style of circus performance art worldwide, and only 15 percent of those are women, says Dan Meyer, president of Sword Swallowers Association International. It isn’t a trick, either: The performers at Ripley’s Believe It or Not on Feb. 28 are actually swallowing swords. Meyer estimates it took him about 13,000 tries over four years before he successfully swallowed his first sword. Gulp! Performers at World Sword Swallower’s Day honor those who have died from their injuries, like Dallas’ Rosemary Puente, who died in 1968 from a 1/4 inch cut at the age of 25, Meyer says.
