Events and Classes
At the age of twelve George saw his first sword swallower and fire eater doing things he was told the human body could not do. So with research and a burning desire to learn, he taught himself how to perform these feats of daring. George is now one of the few sword swallowers in the world. It has been said that George "The Giant" is one of the most complete side show performers around today... and the tallest!
This is an outdoor event so be sure to keep an eye on the weather! For questions about this program call 209-558-7810.
