If you are an actively performing sword swallower and would like to be added to this list, please contact us with photos of yourself swallowing a sword, and complete the membership application to the Sword Swallowers Association Int'l (SSAI).

If you are a media producer looking for a sword swallower for a film, TV program, music video, documentary, or TV commercial, please contact us directly for recommendations.

Want to book a sword swallower? Each of our sword swallower members is a mult-talented individual capable of putting on a first-rate performance. Whether you are looking for a sideshow-inspired performance, a world-class Vegas style act, a show with Middle Eastern flair, or an abstract piece of performance art, we have just the right act for you. Simply tell us the details of where, when and what type of performance you're interested in, and what kind of budget you have, and we will forward it to our members to help you secure the perfect match for the right price.

(Due to the extremely dangerous nature of this life-threatening stunt and the limited number of sword swallowers around the world, prices for individual performers' shows can range from $500-$3000/show, and depending on the individual performer, may or may not include other stunts such as fire-eating, bed of nails, blockhead, etc.)

The world population is currently:

That means there is approximately 1 sword swallower for every 100 million people in the world!
