Dan Meyer, Cutting Edge Innertainment
"Most performance artists don't perform extreme feats on America's Got Talent,
most aren't in Ripley's Believe It or Not or hold multiple Guinness World Records,
most don't eat fire or swallow swords underwater in a tank of sharks,
and most have not received the Ig Nobel prize at Harvard...
...But Dan Meyer is NOT your average performing artist!"
Starting as a juggler in 1975, Dan worked his way up to fire-eating, stilt walking, and myriad other circus arts. Hearing in 1998 that there were "less than a dozen sword swallowers left around the world" led Dan on his quest to locate as many of the surviving sword swallowers as possible while mastering the 4,000-year-old art. After three years of research and daily practice, Dan taught himself to swallow solid steel swords up to 30 inches long while networking the remaining sword swallowers into the Sword Swallowers Association International.
A passionate advocate for preserving the ancient art of sword swallowing, Dan is known for his high-energy live performances, research studies, motivational talks, high-profile stunts, and media appearances around the world. As Director of the Sword Swallowers Association Int’l and author of a year-long medical study published in the British Medical Journal that won him the 2007 Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine at Harvard, Dan is widely recognized as the foremost authority in the world on the ancient art of sword swallowing.
Dan is available for corporate events, conventions, colleges, universities, fairs, festivals, artist tours, media interviews, talk shows, documentaries, films, science and medical demonstrations, church youth events, Upward Unlimited Awards programs, and other bookings through CuttingEdgeInnertainment.com
