Alex Tomaini (stage name: Alex Zander Morrow)[1][2] is a sideshow performer. At the age of 14, he officially became the youngest confirmed sword swallower in the United States.[3] He swallowed his first sword at the 2003 Sword Swallowers Convention in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania before an audience of his peers and international media, only four hours after swallowing his first coat hanger as practice.[4] He later joined a record attempt called "The Big Swallow" in which a group of sword swallowers try to simultaneously swallow as many swords as possible.[5]
Alex lost the record to Erik Kloeker of the Pickled Brothers Sideshow, who is one year younger than Alex.[3]
