Does anyone know the name of the guy who does that famous multiple cigarette swallowing routine?

Where he puts about 20 in his mouth, lights them and swallows them, brings them back and lights them again.

insane.

Yeah, amazing routine! :shock: Although he stopped doing it a few years back due to health reasons. Imagine practicing that over and over!? :?

'mazin!

Thanks guys! :D I remember watching it a few months ago, I saw an interview with him afterwards. He was saying how unpleasant the routine was to perform, because he is ACTUALLY burning himself!

Crazy stuff!

Thanks again :wink:

Which would be true if he actually swallowed them.
