Eleven-times Guinness World Record holder, The Space Cowboy, has revealed he practices sword-swallowing by putting garden hose pipes down his throat.

The Space Cowboy, known to his friends as Shane, is currently performing at Priceless London Wonderground on London's Southbank in the Spiegeltent until September 20.

He is joined by The Monsters of Shlock, a two-man stunt act who claim they feel no pain and demonstrate this by releasing mouse trap’s on their tongues.

All the performers are part of the Royal Family of Strange People, who are a unique collection of some of the world's most fascinating human oddities.
