I've never seen it handled quite this way before...although the initial production still has me fooled. Very nice moves.

Interesting. I'm wondering where this move originated? Vernon? Ammar? Big Boy?

His real name was Arnold Gerrit Henskes. He did this several times, even once allowing the doctors to push the sword themselves. There is at least one X-Ray showing the sword all the way through.

His stage name is Esperanto for "wonderful."

He died in 1948 of an aortic rupture.

Kids, don't try this at home. Only qualified and insane professionals should ever attempt this.

Great clip! Reminds me of the guy (Yogi someone) who put a meat hook through his tongue and dragged a fire extinguisher that was attached to it by a chain across the state in Madison Square Garden.
But Mr. Esperanto! Oy.
