Swords of different sizes are swallowed during the show and bows
and bends are made with a blade in the gullet. The only real sword
swallower in Finland at the present.

The perfomances have background music.

The performance includes the "human blockhead", in which a four-inch
nail is hammered into the nose. A hammer is then left hanging from
a chain on the nail. Sword swallowing is followed by for example a "a bow
of death", which is a 90 degree forward bow with a sword in the gullet.
Arms and cheeks are pierced through with metal skewers.

A unique performance with background music.
