I have always been amazed by performers that eat fire and swallow swords.
I find my self wondering... how are they doing that?
And I wonder ... do they ever burn themselves? Especially when they are learning the routine.
Are these performers brave and courageous or would you call them daredevils?
Is this considered a talent or is it a sport?
Anyway, thought I'd share the following with my friends in blogger land.
~ From a recent performance at the 'Flying Monkey' in Huntsville Alabama.~
Rosewood, Fire, and Steel combines classical guitar with the ancient art of sword-swallowing, dance, and fire-eating for a performance that is both musically and visually thrilling.
The duo teams up guitarist Phil Weaver with Patricia Forrest, who has an extensive background in dance and musical theater. She was a member of the Huntsville Ballet Company and danced in the Nutcracker as well as other ballets. She is a member of the Sword Swallower's Association International, a very exclusive group of only a few dozen members worldwide.
Have a super great weekend !

When I see this I think of what I read about sword and fire swallowers. They die early and get throat cancer. I would say they are foolish to do it!
ReplyDeleteYes.... "foolish" is the word I was searching to use, but was having one of my 'senior moments' so i said "daredevils". LOL
DeleteI was wondering if they ever have consequences from doing such a foolish trick.... Not worth it!
wow quite daring!
ReplyDeleteYes it is, and I would never, never even try it.
Deleteoh, no idea..:( But i don't watch like that. Afraid to get hurt,hehe..:)
ReplyDeleteI agree. When I used to go to the circus I never wanted to watch the high-wire acts because I did not want to see them fall. Watching daredevils is not my idea of entertainment.
Deleteeeewwwwwww! but we all have our gifts....Great post
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm.... well that's a gift I can do without... :-)
DeleteThanks for sharing. This is neat. I would send it to my son, but am afraid that his son ( who is six) might copy doing it when no one is around.
ReplyDeleteOhhh .... that would be really bad!
DeleteI guess there should be a warning that says "DON'T try this yourself"
Thanks for your comment.
