Roderick Russell’s Summary

Roderick Russell is a performing artist specializing in the small and unusual fields of sword swallowing and mentalism, a form of psychological illusion that encourages high levels of interaction with his audience.

From exclusive corporate events, prestigious properties and theaters across the country, to college and university theaters and outdoor festivals, Roderick's unique brand of entertainment is appropriate and adaptable to any event size, type or scope.

National Public Radio says that it's "not only the strangest event of the month, but probably the weirdest of the rest of the year." A bold, risky show - but what else would you expect from a sword swallower?
