About me: I'm a professional sword swallower, magician & escape artist.
I started performing professionally in 1997 by buying a one way plane ticket to Spain, and spending the next 2 1/2 years making my way across Europe performing on the streets.
After returning to the US, i spent several years performing mostly at nightclubs and large festivals.
In 2001 i began performing regularly as a feature entertainer on board Carnival Cruise Lines. In 2002 i performed for the first time at the Luxor hotel and casino in Las Vegas. I continue to perform around the world.
I have made more than 50 television appearances around the world, and hold 2 World Records for sword swallowing. I have been to more than 50 countries and i have performed in about half of them.
I love my Job!
Thank you to everyone who has made it possible throughout the years.

"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh." - Friedrich Nietzsche
May you have a Birthday full of laughing and dancing (figuratively and literally)!
