Where I live I heard a radio story of a man who got drunk and boasted he could swallow a sword, so he took one of his friend's swords and tried to swallow it. He ended up slicing his throat (Not gonna try and spell the a word today lol) open, but was lucky enough to be saved by Doctors in time.
I think it was a very stupid thing to happen and could have been prevented due to common sense.
DULL THE BLOODY EDGES BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT PUTTING IT DOWN YOUR THROAT!
And learn from a pro if you can
I started fire eating on my own and even though I did pretty well on my own, I felt soo much better and safer and more confident after going through everything with a pro one afternoon.

I've looked into sword swallowing before and would love to learn it but I won't try it on my own, I think that is too dangerous. I've been to that site before and it is very interesting and informative yet I still wouldn't try it without a pro. Too bad the only person that I know that does this won't teach me, he says it's too dangerous
maybe someone else will eventually! there is also a magic site that has a section for swordswallowing questions here https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/index.php
(am I allowed to post links?) try the section named "believe it or not" Anyway Good Luck!~

Oh...do I have lots to say on this topic.
As a member of the sideshow performance community, I am extremely disappointed in the idea that stemmed this thread that sword swallowing can be learned alone, and that fire eating is "easy".
First of all, the websites you will find, like all, are informational. Some, like magic cafe, are not even always accurate. Don't get me wrong, some of the best, most intelligent sideshow performers I know are on the cafe but I don't hang there because I am sick and tired of the self-important people on there who spread bad advice that will get others killed.
Next, FireKitty, your friend is very smart. It *is* one of the most dangerous sideshow arts out there, and I need to question the motives of anyone who says they want to do it...just like every other sword swallower out there.
Finding a professional is not as easy as reading up and mailing around. You have to prove yourself, and your worthiness to us.
Or, with some, you have to pay a heavy fee. Why? Because you can die.
This is *NOTHING* like fire eating. It is comparing apples to bolts.
One..ONE..slip and you are hospitalized.
Fire eating you can burn your mouth and be fine.
In sword swallowing the smallest mistake lands you in the hospital. End of story. There is no "Well, we'll check and see how I feel tomorrow." It is straight to the E.R. with you.
Dangers included...
Perforation or Puncture of the esophogeal tract and stomach
Damage/Severing of the Voice box
Infection
Death and more.
Those are your options.
And it takes *alot* more than dulling a blade, and in fact the blade has to be dulled in a specific manner to a specific size/shape.
I am teaching one of my students because she proved to me she would be responsible, dedicated, and above all safe.
With statements like "Fire eating becomes easier after you have been doing it awhile and you want to experiment a bit more." out there, I wouldn't teach you. It shows a blatent lack of respect for the danger of the art and it shows that you do grow complacent with dangerous acts too easily. Fire eating is dangerous. Sword Swallowing is only second to Glass Eating in terms of the most dangerous acts out there.
Thanks darkpoet for bringing that up.
I want to share a little story here as well, associated with my accident. I have an internal scar from my trachea which effects my ability to swallow, so sword swallow might very well be permanently out of the picture for me now. Two acts with one shot. Now, imagine what would happen if my accident had have been with a sword first. I wouldn't even be talking to you.
It is *THAT* dangerous.

i know it is dangerous. i do always take as much care as i possibly can with all my fire arts what i am trying to say is not that it is any less dangerous. (i am crap with words sorry) but once you have done it a few times you do not get the same adrenalin rush. i don't know if that is gust me but it is how i feel.
i know of 3 ppl who have died doing fire eating and breathing. it is very dangerous. i am shaw it has nothing on sowed swallowing as you say, i want to spend a year in circus school if i can and i hope to learn how to entertain using all the different technics i can!!

Performing for a rush is being a showboat, not an entertainer.....
Yes there is a rush....but i perform because i love performing and doing what i do
it doesnt matter how good you are....mistakes will happen and cannot be 100% avoided but the risk of making mistakes skyrockets when you become complacent
and if you already learned that when you screwed up.....then why are you making the same point in your defense?
methinks you need to reevaluate why exactly you do what you do....not to seem condemning but for your safety think about it
and as a final point...you talk about experimenting with your art....
you dont experiment with fire, you use non-fire props or lights....excluding beamers..... those props dont have the possibility of seriously injuring somebody and are OK to experiment with.....with sword swallowing..i dont know if there is room to experiement..but yeah..

I'm not a doctor, but I'm sure that you should wait untill your body stops growing and is at a mature stage before you try any of that, aka, wait a couple of years. Learning to swallow swords at 14 is asking for premature death.
and Pele, yes you're right, the edges don't just need to be blunted -.- I was fairly broad in what I said I must say. Dulling the edges improperly could/would just create even more edges, and cause even more danger.
Firestu, please seek our a professional to learn these kinds of things, and read the Fire Breathing FAQ we are so lucky to have here on HoP. It shows you what can go wrong, even if you do know what you're doing, and do know how to do it properly.
Pele speaks from experience when she warns about becoming complacent with the fire arts. I will not speak for her, but her article does mention that as a large part of the accident.
Accidents like that happen, and people die. We are lucky enough to have her here to teach us from her experiences. Please do not let her accident be in vain. I'm sure Pele would also want you to learn from her story, and learn to respect the fire arts.

firestu; I'm not sure what's just happened to you but I seriously advise you NOT to get drunk.
The full effects of a fire breathing accident do not necessarily manifest immediately.
You need to stay alert for the next few hours. If you're near a hospital it could well be worth going to casuality just to be safe.
Do you live with others, or with family? If so then tell them what's happened so, if the pain gets worse they can get help. If not then call some friends.
I'm not trying to worry you unnecessarily here; probably you'll be totally fine, but you need to be aware that things could get worse and you definitly need to stop getting drunk.

Please please please listen to the following advice. Not I, nor anyone else can tell you what to do and not do, but please read what I have to say and decide for yourself as soon as you can.
Please, call for an ambulance tel them what has happened, and get to a hospital as fast as you can. The pain that you are currently experiencing cannot be diagnosed over the internet, but is a signal from your body that it is in serious trouble, and badly damaged.
If you feel you need any substance to dull the pain, then that pain could be signal your body is in trouble, and only a medical expert will be able to help with both the pain and any health risks related to your injury, not to mention the effect the alcohol will be having on your already strained system.
i'm not saying you may die or become paralysed, but until a doctor tells you otherwise, that could well be a possibility.
please please please, call a friend, family member or ambulance and get to a hospital straight away...

If you think you suffered any form of blowback, alcohol makes it worse and you need to get to a physician as soon as possible.
Several years ago Dangerboy thought his was minor. He waited it out and for two weeks the illness built until he was coughing up grey matter from his lungs. He ended up in the hospital for a couple weeks. That was for a "minor blowback".
The easiest way to avoid this type of severity is to get medical attention...NOW.
I will reserve all of my other comments until I calm down from being ticked and until you are sober enough to read it.

I think he should follow the above advice, but I have to state the obvious here just so it's said -.-
It's possible what he meant is that he got burned from the intense heat...infact, I hope this is what happened rather than a blowback...

typical. a guy asks a simple question about a dangerous performance style, and rather than give the information requested, someone just has to attack. doesn't everyone realize that EVERYTHING we performers do is dangerous to at least SOME degree? and by the way, performing for a rush... does that not mean there is a love for it? if you do something and feel nothing for it, why do it? being an entertainer is fine, as long as you love what you do and it shows. if not for the rush, you end up with all the stage presence of white noise... you just sort of fade into the background at the edges, and only the most uninitiated of audience members will remember the show....
but i digress. to reiterate the question of the thread, DOES ANYONE KNOW SOMEONE NEAR THE PERSON WHO ASKED WHO CAN TEACH HIM SWORD SWALLOWING? once more from the top, this time with feeling... and without the attacks. i mean, i am quite sure this person knows by now that what he is seeking to learn is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!
ok, getting off the soapbox now... sorry.
typical. a guy asks a simple question about a dangerous performance style, and rather than give the information requested, someone just has to attack. doesn't everyone realize that EVERYTHING we performers do is dangerous to at least SOME degree? and by the way, performing for a rush... does that not mean there is a love for it? if you do something and feel nothing for it, why do it? being an entertainer is fine, as long as you love what you do and it shows. if not for the rush, you end up with all the stage presence of white noise... you just sort of fade into the background at the edges, and only the most uninitiated of audience members will remember the show....
