Capt. Don Leslie: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing


In this episode, we take a deep dive to explore the life of sword swallower Capt. Don Leslie, who ran away with the circus at the age of 14, worked with King Bros Cristiani Circus, Royal American Shows, Ringling Brothers Circus, and many other circuses, shows and films over 46 years from 1952 to 1998.


Capt. Don Leslie’s story comes from his chapter in the book “To The Hilt: A Sword Swallower’s History of Sword Swallowing” by sword swallower Dan Meyer and sideshow historian Marc Hartzman (Schiffer Publishing), now available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Target, Walmart and more:
