Thom Sellectomy performs comedy and swallows swords, this not a juggling or magic show in which one sword is swallowed.
Audience participation is used when ever possible to prove that sword swallowing is real. This includes allowing someone to pull a sword from Thom's throat.
The show is quite versatile and can be performed indoors or out, on stage or street and requires very little staging space.
While the content of the show is generally appropriate for all ages, it does contain some subtle innuendo which can be turned down or up to suit your event.
