Only in Oz: Sword artist sets world record that's hard to swallow
Some people call Chayne Hultgren the Space Cowboy for good reason, the Byron Bay street performer has dared to go where no man had before - swallowing 18 sharp swords

The professional sword swallower set the new Guinness World Record in Sydney by swallowing all of the 72-centimetre long swords at the same time, beating his own previous record of 17 swords, which he set in 2008.


But for all those wannabe sword swallowers out there Mr Hultgren warned the stunt had taken years to perfect.
Hultgren began practising the art of sword swallowing at the age of 16 when he swallowed his first hose.
