Blades and Bravery

Description

Sword Swallowing variety at its finest. Each sword has a different routine to it and each routine gets progressively more dangerous.

Whatever the client prefers it shall be delivered.

Biography

It's not a question of How, it's a question of Why.
And if you ask Cyrus why he performs the feats he does, the reply is always the same.
"People will watch and I don't want to work a 9 to 5"
Cyrus has a BA in Theatre and an arsenal of bladed weapons. Put those together and you have some Cutting Edge Entertainment. Swords, Knives, Whips; easy to confuse Passion with Obsession in Cyrus' case, and rightly so. He's a man of skill, a man of danger, and some would say....a complete lunatic. Particularly in his mastery of the skill of Sword Swallowing.
Despite his seemingly masochistic ... stunts, Cyrus strives for one thing the most. The Entertainment of Others. At the end of the day as long as the audience has enjoyed the show he considers his job well done. Even at the risk of his own well-being.

Physical Characteristics

Meet the Act

My profession, how I make my way in the world and feed myself stems from my passions in life. I desired something more than a 9-5 and above all else desire to be completely different from everyone else.
Huge passion for martial arts involving weapons. Though I'm quite the pacifist I still learn how to use these weapons and are entertained by them in an artistic, presentational way. This ultimately lead to me performing the feats I do (Sword Swallowing, Knife Throwing, Machete Juggling, Whip Cracking, Crossbows
Was once a competitive fencer, now do it recreationally. Also train in other swor ... dsmanships recreationally. Read More
