Stevie Starr gets ready to wolf down a pool ball during a previous performance in Forwell Hall

Is he an illusionist? A magician? Call him what you will, but Stevie Starr is a professional regurgitator. He swallows everything from live goldfish to pool balls to light bulbs and he brings them all right back up again.

Perhaps one of his most stunning acts is one where he swallows a bowl full of dry sugar followed by a glass of water, and shortly after regurgitates the sugar... bone dry. His acts only get more unbelievable from there.

For almost 20 years Starr has put his talents on display for Fanshawe. This year, the unique man of talent will be returning in March and Discovery Channel will be filming his performance for a television special.

Starr's began honing this talent as a child, and his method remains a mystery to this day. According to his online biography, he began with swallowing pocket money. “I tried other things, like going out into the garden and swallowing a bumble bee and then bringing him back and letting him fly away.”

See if you can decipher his method on March 6 at noon in Forwell Hall at Fanshawe College.
