Watch Brad on America’s Got Talent!
9 Swords at a time!
America’s Got Talent
Brad Byers is the only man in the world capable of swallowing up to twelve 27-inch double-edged swords in a single performance—and twisting them all at once. He proved this incredible feat during his audition for America’s Got Talent Season 8 in San Antonio, Texas, using a portable x-ray (C-arm fluoroscope) to show its authenticity. Each sword is swallowed the traditional, most dangerous way—one at a time and without lubrication.
Run Over by a 1,000lb 4-Wheeler!
America’s Got Talent
Brad Byers sets a new world record by being run over by a 1,000-pound electric ATV while lying on a bed of nails. The ATV is driven by his brother, Rod Byers, and its electric batteries make it even heavier than a gas-powered model (gas engines aren’t allowed inside Radio City Music Hall). Before the record-breaking stunt, Brad wows the crowd by stopping a large fan with his tongue. This incredible performance was broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall.
Anchor on a Nose Hook
America’s Got Talent
Brad Byers amazes on America’s Got Talent Season 4 by threading an 18-inch hook from his nose through his mouth and suspending an anchor from it. DO NOT TRY THIS—severe injury or death could result. Brad is the originator of this extreme drill act and holds the Human Toolbox Guinness World Record for his feats.

What To Expect
Prepare yourselves for a SHOW YOU’LL NEVER FORGET! International acclaimed sword swallower Brad Byers has performed his world record sword swallowing and extreme sideshow acts on stages and television shows in 25 countries.
Brad Byers swallows REAL SWORDS. To prove he uses real sword blades, Brad has been x-rayed on stage, including while appearing on America’s Got Talent, with the swords in place. The inserted swords go all the way down into his stomach. He even invites television show hosts or audience members to actually push the swords down or pull them out to demonstrate that sword swallowing is real.
Brad can swallow multiple swords at once, huge ribbon cutting ceremony scissors, Kris sword (wavy bladed), Scimitar sword (curved bladed), coat hanger, keyhole saw, and WWI British bayonet. Brad is one of the few sword swallowers in the world who can swallow a Model-T truck axle, 3-foot Middle Eastern long saw, giant corkscrew, and engine oil dip stick.
