Question: How do contortionist practice their sword swallowing!?!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I suppose contortionists can swallow swords, but I hope they're not twisting their bodies while they do it because you have to be very still while you're swallowing swords!.
also it is VERY DANGEROUS because you could perforate your esophagus &/or stomach!. Its pretty much the most dangerous sideshow stunt there is!. Basically, because they need someone to be there to teach them, sword swallowers learn from other sword swallowers & practice with things that are not sharp!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

first start off with things you know won't cut you!. but don't let it be things that you could choke on!. like your finger, then move on to ( don't get mad ) a penis, then trythings like popsicles and wine bottle necks!. then you slowly get used to it then go to sharp things but let them be short at first and then let it slowly evolve into swords!. no dis-respect on the penis!. lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

Probably fake swords!. The spring loaded blade goes up into the handle for a large part of the way, and slips back out as the pressure comes off of the blade end!. We used to be able to but plastic toy knives like it as kids, for playing soldiers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
