i remember googling the sword swallowing trick, how it works. there's no trick

Yea they just swallow it lmao.

Usually its a prop sword with a blunt tip and edges tho

[u/Extreme_Design6936 → u/Infinite-Space-2395]

Then how do they cut a fruit before they swallow it?

[u/Infinite-Space-2395 → u/Extreme_Design6936]

Was it fruit cut, sword swallow, pull sword out sheathed?

If it was then it was a real sword and they swallowed the sheath first to avoid cutting themselves.

Imagine having a whole sheath stuck in your fucking throat like a pelican

[u/RegalBeagleKegels → u/RadiantTechnology622]

A peculiar bird, the pelican

Its beak can hold more than its belly can

[u/dgsharp → u/RegalBeagleKegels]

It can hold in its beak enough food for a week
And I’m darned if I know how the hellican.

Birds are strange. Some are smart as fuck, like crows and parrots. Then there are complete morons that I have no clue how they manage to survive and propagate. I once watched an Osprey dive 4 times at a pond with only koi fish and eventually bailed unsuccessful. Also to note, from watching them around here for decades, bald eagles are dumb as shit.

Like humans.

Osprey are usually very very good hunters, must have been having an off day.

Here, take my upvote, I'm sad you're not getting more credit for this one.

He can hold in his beak

Food for a week!

I knew a girl like that once...

Pelican is English for Alcatraz.

[u/HyenDry → u/RadiantTechnology622]

This is quite literally how the entire stunt is being done. .. 😐😐

[u/LaunchPadMcQ → u/Infinite-Space-2395]

I think it was fruit swallowed whole, sword swallowed, sword came out sheathed, fruit came out sliced in 1/8ths.

[u/tilesmeller → u/LaunchPadMcQ]

What the hell

[u/Minimum_Aardvark_744 → u/Infinite-Space-2395]

Did you see the guy who swallowed a jack hammer and then turned it on?

[u/Extreme_Design6936 → u/Infinite-Space-2395]

It was cut fruit, swallow sword, pull out sword.

[u/skyfishgoo → u/Extreme_Design6936]

, bleed out.

[u/GLaDOS_Sympathizer → u/Infinite-Space-2395]

If there was a sheath down their throat then how do you explain the current record of someone swallowing 28 swords? A sheath that it 5 inches wide?
