About booking Sword Swallowers

“No way!!” “Is that guy seriously gonna do that?!” “By the beard of Zeus... that dude just stuck a sword down his throat! I ain’t kidding you, man!” These are a few of things you might hear from your crowd when you hire a sword swallower for your next event. It’s hard to believe, but there are a select few daring men and women in this world that will stick sharp objects like swords down their throats. These professional sword swallowers create suspense, intrigue, and excitement wherever they go. Whether it's a circus-themed event, trade show, birthday party, or corporate event, you can bring the ooh’s and aah’s to your next event by hiring a professional sword swallower here on GigSalad!

Don't try this at home! The art of sword swallowing originated in India and is still practiced today to astound, astonish, and amaze guests at festivals, fairs, street shows, parties, and special events. While many people believe that sword swallowing is a kind of magic trick, it is actually a difficult skill performed only after learning to relax your esophagus. Let GigSalad connect you with a sword swallower in your area to help mesmerize the guests at your next event.

Here's some things to keep in mind while hiring a professional sword swallower. Please note: Sword swallowing is a dangerous act and should only be attempted by someone who has had appropriate training. Next, ask for pictures and video of the sword swallower's performances. Finally, pay attention to detail in the contract. Inquire about liability and insurance. Know what materials and space you will need to provide for the sword swallower.
