I’m Jigsaw Joe, a circus sideshow performer based out of Coney Island. My acts include sword swallowing, fire eating, human pincushion (needles and hooks through the skin), lift-o (an act where I hang and lift things from hooks in my eye sockets), human blockhead, mental floss, and a couple more.
All of these feats are 100% real and not a magic trick.
If you’ve ever wanted to ask a carney anything, now’s your chance!
Disclaimer: I will not be answering any questions about methods/tips for performing these feats, as the only way someone should learn any sideshow acts is in person from a reputable trained performer. Giving sword swallowing, fire eating, etc. advice over Reddit is, in my oppinion, dangerous and negligent.
