On February 22nd, 2014, Erik and Travis participated in World Sword Swallowers Day at 2 separate Ripley’s Believe it or Not Locations. Erik was at Ripley’s Odditorium in Myrtle Beach, SC, and Travis was at Ripley’s in Gatlinburg, TN.
Travis was joined by Captain Stab-Tuggo, and 15 year old Sasha Ashley, both from Atlanta, Georgia. This was Sasha’s first public sword swallowing performance!
With Stab-Tuggo swallowing 8 swords, Sasha swallowing 1, and Travis swallowing 2, Gatlinburg, TN averaged the most sword per sword swallower of any location with multiple blade glommers at 3 2/3rds swords!
More information and photos of many of the Sword Swallower’s Day celebrations is available at the Ripley’s Blog:
