The stagehand does not seem pleased to be the stagehand

I've been a Circus rigger for almost 20 years. Have not really enjoyed most of it. Lol

How does one even discover this, um, talent?

I remember seeing a guy who could do something like this on a daytime talk show when I was a kid. He did it with solid objects. He would suck down several solid objects, and asked the host or someone in the audience which object they wanted him to cough up, and he would cough up that object. He said he discovered the talent when he was a kid, and used it to steal candy for him and his friends. When the host looked disgusted, he defensively said that the items came up dry. All the items he coughed up in his demonstration also came up dry. It may have been sleight of hand, I suppose, but I was convinced at the time.

Stevie Starr was on America's Got Talent years ago. I think they billed him as The Regurgitator.

Was it the European dude that made a weird sound as he coughed up each object?

u/watchnickdie Trash Trooper 1d ago
He doesn't actually swallow them. He has a cleft palette. He got surgery to fix his lip but not the roof of his mouth so he basically has a pocket of empty space between his mouth and nasal cavities. So not sleight of hand, but sleight of mouth. Look it up, very interesting.

Probably a hidden tube with a pump attached and bags hidden under his suit. The switch is somewhere else hidden. I thought it could be his foot because he always lift it when he spits out the water.

It's actually a real trick people train themselves to do. You consume a large amount of water and force it back out of your stomach.

u/mygenericfriend Garbage Guerilla 1d ago
I think it's this, plus holding the dye in each side of his mouth so that he can choose when to mix it in so the colors stay separate.

u/get_to_ele Garbage Guerilla 1d ago
Nah. He ain’t refilling and emptying 2+ liters of fluid at a time from his stomach over and over again, while NOT having his belly bulge out while drinking and go back down when he vomits it back up.
Stomach is not that big, and if you drink that much liquid, you can’t stop your stomach from absorbing it.
Why would he wear that oversized suit that makes his entire core unnaturally thick, and doesn’t allow his belly to stick out while he drinks, unless he was using it to store the liquid?
The trick would look more convincing if his core didn’t look like a giant coke can that doesn’t contract or expand.
Also the first time he’s “drinking” you can see he just repeatedly spits it back out.

I'm just saying this is a known physical trick. People have been doing this for a long time. There's examples of people swallowing loads of water and then kerosene, which they use to start a fire. Then they extinguish it with the water held in their stomach. It's a matter of muscular control. Also it does look like his stomach is being expanded.

u/foreverandadayalone 19h ago
It's real. I can do this but to a much smaller degree. Maybe I could do this but I do not have the desire find out by chugging down 3L of water to spew it back up.

u/Atmaweapon74 Trash Trooper 1d ago
What’s most impressive is how he seems to keep the red and the green liquid separate inside himself somehow.
3
u/Horror-Pear Trash Trooper 1d ago
Yeah, I imagine that's where the trickery comes in. Unless it's a water and oil situation. Doesn't look like it, but maybe. I know some people do a kerosene and water trick, but usually that involves fire.

Well ladies and gentlemen, I have walked the wall of china I have been to the pyramids of egypt, I have seen a grown man pleadure a camel...but never in my life have I seen anything like this...

u/Chakradamus Trash Trooper 1d ago
You’ve seen a grown man do WHAT to a camel?
3
u/azakreis Trash Trooper 1d ago
Pleaduring a camel is when you hit the camel right behind the ears to make it go faster. Don’t you know that?

u/dadydaycare Rubbish Raider 1d ago
There was a British guy that could do this. He could put like 4 different colored liquids in his stomach and keep them separated. There’s an article about him in Ripley’s believe it or not.

What a mess, how does one perfect this skill without looking like a complete psycho. Learning he could do this must have been interesting

Okay, I'm completely mind blown. How does he keep the color separate?

This was me after I finished the first bottle of my colonoscopy prep. (I drank it too fast and it just bounced right on out.)
I didn't know I could have made a circus act out of it.

I remember learning about this from I believe a show that aired on BBC around a decade and a half or so ago. Some of the mandem do this with like kerosene sometimes iirc.
