The Sword of Swords

Some of you may know that I own a sword with a very particular history: It has been down the throats of 33 of the world's sword swallowers!
Recently its status as the world's most swallowed sword has been officially recognised by Guinness World Records.
There is a Wikipedia entry that has the history of the sword and the names of those that have swallowed it, here.

Edinburgh Madness


OK, so what do you do if you discover that your sword-swallowing buddies are all in town for the festival? You design a stunt to get them together and set a new world record!
That's how four of us ended up swallowing the four legs of a bar stool in front of a rowdy Edinburgh audience. It was a blast!
There's a great video of it here.
