I've stopped speed solving for a while, but I thought this would be an interesting challenge.
The scramble is a random hand scramble.
Don't try this at home, or anywhere else.
Timer starts when the sword enters my body. Timer stops when it's back out.

Because it's difficult to concentrate I made some mistakes with f2l and had to do the pll twice.

Awesome but frightening. Sword swallowers are insane. Be careful!!! (I know you are - after all, you're still alive. :-) ) Sword swallowing is one of those rare things that are actually more dangerous than they seem to the average observer.

I hope you're not a fire eater too. The only sword swallower I know is also a fire eater. The good thing about sword swallowing is that if you do it right, it doesn't hurt you. With fire eating, even if you do it right, it hurts you.

I do basic fire eating, but I'm still looking for a teacher to improve. I do put out blow torches on my tongue though.

Okay, so you really are as insane as the other sword swallower I know then. Okay. :)
Many people aren't aware of how rare sword swallowers are. You're a pretty rare breed.

I love how after you did all that, you asked your camera man/woman what's the time as if you're totally familiar with solving a rubiks cube with a sword in your mouth.
