Heather is a professional sword swallower . Someone with no gag reflex — or well say , discipline to subdue it while swallowing 36 - column inch foresightful solid blade swords down her pharynx . No tricks , no locoweed and mirrors . She ’s the veridical tidy sum . I check her accept an total — and very large — soup spoon with my own eyes in a irregular . She did n’t even blink . She gobble it down like I exhaust maple - syrup - bathed buttermilk pancakes .
Needless to say , she had the right credentials to try our test : Swallow the tiny , 1.8 x 0.7 x 0.3 - column inch iPod shuffle and then take it out again , after we have listened to a couple of songs thanks to the in - cable removed ascendency — whichis a bad ideafor regular economic consumption , but it ’s great to play strain when someone has the iPod down the esophagus .

unluckily , as you will see in the telecasting , she was n’t able to do it for a numeral of grounds . First , the iPod shuffling is right smart too light . asunder from contain your gag reflex , her technique for swallow steel utilise the force of gravity to overstretch them down . She also uses her esophagus muscles to control how tight it gets in her body , but the sombreness is what pull Down the sword . With the iPod make — which is only 0.38 ounce or 10.7 gram — this was impossible . The iPod just hanged there and had to be pushed with her manus or a large object — like a spoon — to get into the submission of her throat . However , from there it was not potential to make it go down .
get through to viewHeather call back she can do it with more training — or maybe bear on it with something big — so she took the iPod with her and will be back when she can do it . Until then , here ’s the response to the interrogation : No , you ca n’t unsay the iPod shuffling , even if it ’s small enough to get it in . If the iPod make is blade - swallower test copy , it ’s surely child- and moron - proof .
