typo - sword swallower
Guessing this is a typo. Here's a wiki article on the subject:
Sword swallowing is a performance art, in which the performer inserts a sword into his or her mouth and down the esophagus towards the stomach. The name given to this art is technically misleading, as performers have to suppress their gag reflex and not actually swallow while the sword is down their throat. Sword swallowing is an extremely dangerous life-threatening activity, and many deaths and serious medical complications have arisen from attempting the feat. Some sword swallowers are officially recognized as members of the Sword Swallowers Association International (SSAI). [1] Of these, only a few dozen are actively performing professional sword swallowers, with the remainder being either amateurs or injured or retired performers.
