In this episode, we discuss sword swallower Stan Marye, who ran away from home to join the circus at the age of 16, and ended up performing as a sword swallower with dozens of circus sideshows over 10 years and swallowing up to five swords at once.
Stan Marye is one of more than a hundred sword swallowers featured in the book, To The Hilt: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing, by sword swallower Dan Meyer and sideshow historian Marc Hartzman (Schiffer Publishing), now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Target, Walmart and more:
