From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alex Tomaini (stage name: Alex Zander Morrow)[1] is a sideshow performer. At the age of 14, he officially became the youngest confirmed sword swallower in the United States.[2] He swallowed his first sword at the 2003 Sword Swallowers Convention in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania before an audience of his peers and international media , only 4 hours after swallowing a coat hanger to practice.[3] He later joined a record attempt called "The Big Swallow" in which a group of sword swallowers try to simultaneously swallow as many swords as possible.[4]
