In two weeks Justin Meitz, author of The Amazing Alexander, is releasing a new DVD called Deep. I am very excited about this as I have never seen anything like it. Have you ever seen a sword swallowing act, and wanted to repeat it, yet, you have no props? I personally have seen this happen during an IBM meeting. The moment was intense, without any warning Justin swallowed 12'' of a balloon. Someone yelled for him to pull it back out and he did just that. What made it more intense, is that he didn't even stop there, he started again, but this time, he swallowed, THE ENTIRE BALLOON. I have never seen or heard of anyone pulling a balloon back out...
I hear that he has a teaser coming out next week. Just wondering if anyone else has heard anything? |

Steve Bedwell does swallow a balloon. His method was taught to him by a magician named Kevin Smith. Steve does not reproduce the balloon though. For that, you have to see Fielding West.

Being a magician from Salt Lake City I actually saw Justin Meitz at a local event (Garden after dark). He did about a 20 min show and he preformed the balloon swallow. I have seen the effect before but never like this and I somewhat knew how to do the trick but not like this. When Justin preformed the balloon swallow he did something completely different, he swallowed about 16" of the balloon and then he let a woman from the audience pull it out of his mouth, and then continued to swallow it. At the end of the trick his "Ditch" was perfect and very clean, I actually didn't pick up on it until I spoke with him afterward. Justin’s performance of the balloon swallow was perfect and he had the audience in awe. I can't wait to pick this up so I can put this into my bag of tricks

This sounds good, but I can't help but think there would be an onslaught of jokes from every male spectator...

When I was taught how to perform the balloon swallow, many years ago (pre-Bedwell), I was also taught how to partially swallow, and bring it back out, and then fully swallow the balloon. Done it many times.

During the intensity of the moment one of the older magicians in the group shouted, "Well, how do we know when it comes out the other end?" Either way, though, every magician who was their said that they hadn't seen anything like it before. It should be good. |

I recently contacted Justin about the DEEP release date and he sent me this info. He has been very busy with filming and working with his editors on his second book. But it looks like he is shooting to release the first week of February. Still no word about who is carrying it though. And he says there will still be a teaser this Friday.
“Can’t make balloon animals? No problem. Ditch the poodle and the puppy dog and let’s try something even more fun - and amazing! Make a snake-and eat it. Master the art of balloon swallowing like never before. From the critically acclaimed author of The Amazing Alexander series comes DEEP. Imagine taking a 5 foot long balloon, handing it out for inspection, then swallowing 16 inches of it - - - and then letting your spectator pull it back out. Then swallow the rest of the balloon and watch your spectators gasp! With studio shots and live performances of 4 different routines you will learn together with Daniel, a magic student, as Justin teaches him – and you – every twist, turn, trick and technique of this incredible effect.” |

Ha ha nice one, great work from the looks of it.
At first I admit that this didn't really appeal to me, but that video sold me, I love it! Just let me know when to send the cash |
