Description: |
DAN
MEYER is a unique performance artist who specializes in the
extremely dangerous and very narrow field of cutting edge innertainment
-
Sword Swallowing. Starting as a juggler,
circus clown, stilt-walker and fire-eater, Dan eventually mastered the
most dangerous of all performance arts - SWORD SWALLOWING! Described
as a "Christian David Copperfield" who combines real
feats with a powerful message instead of tricks and illusions, Dan
eats fire and swallows solid steel swords, blades, and other objects
from
15 to 30 inches long and up to 8 swords at once.
One
of only a few dozen professional sword swallowers left in the
entire world, a multiple Guinness World Record holder and featured
Ripley's Believe It or Not performer best known for swallowing swords
UNDERWATER in a tank of sharks and stingrays, Dan is recognized
as one of the premiere sword swallowers performing around the world
today. Dan
has been featured on programs such as CNN, MTV, ESPN, Discovery
Channel, Discovery Health, Discovery Times, Discovery
International, Discovery Canada, Learning Channel, Documentary Channel,
Travel Channel, USA Network, Food Network, CNN Headline News, CNN
Health, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, MSN, MSNBC, PBS, CMT, 48 Hours, 20/20, NPR,
BBC, CBC, CTV, NTV Russia, WGN, XLTV, Shocked
& Amazed TV, Mancow, USA Today, NY Post, NY
Times, London Times, Newsweek, National Geographic, Forbes, British
Medical Journal, Scientific American, Science Daily, Nature, Christian
Activities, and hundreds of other radio, TV, magazine and newspaper
interviews around the world. Dan has performed on national tour
with Brooks and Dunn's Neon Circus, on international tour with the
Celtic Christian band Ceili Rain, at Ripley's Believe It or Not
attractions, colleges, universities, corporate and church
events, and Upward awards programs around the world. As
Director of the Sword Swallowers Association Int'l, avid historical
researcher and collector of sword swallowing artifacts, and
author of a year-long medical study published in the prestigious
British
Medical Journal that won him the 2007 Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine, Dan
is recognized as the foremost authority in the world on the ancient
art of sword swallowing. "My
extreme ministry allows me to reach a wide audience and touch folks
across a broad spectrum that other ministries might not be able to
reach, from youth to yuppies, parents to grandparents, Goth
rockers to bikers, including those who might never step foot in a
church.
God
made each person unique with their own special gifts;
I use my unique ministry to let audiences know it's ok to
be unique and stand for what you believe in, whatever your calling
is! I
like to comfort the afflicted, as well as afflict the
comfortable by performing REAL feats people think are impossible in
order to prove how awesome God made the human body.
I
remind audiences that ALL things are possible with God and I
encourage folks to live life abundantly, with gusto... not just to sip
life, but to GULP it! Just
to see God using me, seeing people's faces when I perform, and
knowing God is using me to impact lives is tremendously exciting to
me." |

| Description: | In 1996 I was teaching a Sunday
School
class at church on using your gifts to glorify God. As I was teaching,
God
told me that I had not given Him my juggling. So I prayed and gave God
my juggling. About a year and a half after that prayer, God gave me my
first story, "The King Hit the Ceiling" (The story of Shdrach,
Meshach, and Abednego) and an oportunity to juggle that story in front
of a
small group of people. From there, my juggling ministry began. |

the
ability to juggle, and I am determined to use this ability to his glory

The Gospel Juggler teaches through many stories and routines which can be adapted to fully fit in with your own event. I have well over 100 routines at my disposal, so I will be able to match with whatever theme you may have! Christian Juggling can be used to illustrate themes that crop up in Christian life. A Gospel juggler has many different types of circus skills prop at his disposal to put across a whole range of messages. As most people will never have seen someone juggling while giving a Christian message before, they will become entranced by it and the message will therefore stick in their minds! |
