This is just a bundle of fucked up/awesome.
Apparently none of this is fake or staged, he's known for the talent.
[quote]"I am a medical professional. I am not sure but I suspect that Stevie Starr has an anatomic abnormality called a Zenker’s diverticulum. This is a pocket deep in the parynx right near the opening to the esophagus. Somehow, Steve has learned to control this and I do not believe that the things that he swallows and regurgitates ever makes it into his stomach.”
The Amherst Student Online writes, “After freaking out our host by swallowing his pocket change and ordering 40 pieces of bacon for dinner, he told me that doctors followed him around while he was being tested for the Guinness Book of World Records in order to make sure that he did not. They even followed him to the bathroom to make sure he wasn’t preparing anything while he was in there. In Japan he permitted the use of an X-ray machine so that the audience could see everything going on in his stomach. So apparently he is the real deal and would pretty much be the most interesting friend to take to a party in the entire world.”[/quote]

Looks staged, and @ 6:10 you can see that he put's something in his mouth.
At 6:10 you can't see his face. Not to mention this was done live.
:psyboom:
I still think he has some sort of plastic pouch he keeps at the roof of his mouth for that sugar trick

Well, at 6:13 then idiot.
I can't tell if this is real, but either way, this is amazing!
I don't know how he's doing it, but in an interview he refused to get x-rayed while doing one of his tricks.
Pretty cool either way
edit: oh wow didn't even notice the date :v:
Nice bump from 2009...
...this guy was in the Ripley's Believe it or not museum at one point
It's a mixture of real ability and stage magic. Unfortunately he's not as skilled as a pure magician, when he swallows the chain, he doesn't make much of a effort to hide that he's swallowing the whole chain just before that. He reaches in his pocket, fumbles around brings his hand up to his mouth which he closes for a moment.
Classic stage magic, do the trick casually in plain view with natural motions. But I like the combination. The billiard bowl is definitely his legit swallowing ability, you can practically see it going down his throat, but he should com up with a few more variations.
