No, I did not mention Sword-Swallowers because I felt that most people are already familiar with them. So instead I posted about the STRING stunt because it's Little-known. As far as Sword-Swallowing, I used to think they do Not actually swallow them because they use Collapsible blades that retract back into the handle. But then I saw a documentary where the Swallowed blade was shown in an X-RAY view that proves the stunt is Real.
About that show "Maximum Exposure" which You,DK, mentioned...I've Never seen it. Is it a CIRCUS-oriented progam? Along those lines, I remember seeing a documentary on SIDE-SHOW Oddities, such as the SIAMESE TWINS (Conjoined Twins). Life for them was quite complicated at times. For example, when Each of the conjoined twins got his own Wife, they experienced great difficulty in their honeymoon. Hardly any privacy, if at all.
