A man of an unusual profession. A performer, magician and illusionist, Starr is renowned for his amazing gift of swallowing objects and then regurgitating them. He is called a "professional belcher" - Stevie himself laughs at this, but does not deny anything.
Indeed, he can swallow completely inedible things - light bulbs, all kinds of glands like nails, as well as billiard balls, goldfish and dry sugar. Despite the fact that he is often accused of fooling the public, no one has yet managed to catch Stevie Starr.
When asked when he discovered this amazing talent in himself, Stevie, laughing, replies that as a child, and he grew up in Scotland, in Glasgow, Scotland, in an orphanage. So, living not in the most prosperous place, he swallowed pocket money in order to more reliably hide it from the older guys who could simply take it away.
When he felt safe, he spewed coins back. However, Stevie is a very cheerful person, he jokes constantly, and it is simply not possible to understand what is true in his words and what is a joke.
What he does is called regurgitation. According to the dictionary definition, regurgitation is the opposite to the normal direction of the rapid movement of fluids or gases that occurs in the hollow muscle organs when they contract.
Stevie Starr is a guest of many television shows, the audience loves him very much, because he can certainly tickle the nerves. By the way, during his performances, many spectators instinctively clamp their mouths with their hands - what the dexterous Stevie Starr is doing looks too impossible. He has already visited popular shows such as 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno', 'Late Show with David Letterman' and 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'.
So, during the popular show with Jay Leno, Stevie swallowed numbered coins, giving them back in the order in which the audience ordered them. In addition, he swallowed and gave back a billiard ball, and then a couple of aquarium fish. Funny Stevie even asked Jay Leno how he prefers to get the fish back - head or tail first. By the way, special emphasis was placed on the fact that the fish did not suffer at all - after they visited Stevie's womb, he spat them out one by one into the aquarium, where they continued their swimming.

At the end of the show, Starr surprised everyone by pouring plain sugar into his mouth, and then washed it down with two glasses of water. The presenter and the audience were simply shocked when Stevie poured the same granulated sugar from his mouth into Leno's folded palms.
'How he does it?' - this is the question that comes up most often when people talk about Stevie Starr.
During Britain's Got Talent, Stevie swallowed singer and actress Amanda Holden's engagement ring, then handed it back to prisoners in a small padlock, which he had also previously swallowed.
Despite the fact that many are more than skeptical of the exploits of Stevie Starr, no one has yet been able to catch him in charlatanism. They said that he has the so-called 'cleft palate' - a modified palate, and this is what helps Stevie to swallow almost any object with ease. However, with this deviation, people usually suffer from incoherent speech, and Stevie's speech cannot be called incoherent. By the way, from the unusual in Stevie, you can only see sharpened front teeth - most likely, this was done so that large objects (like the same billiard balls) can more easily pass into the mouth.
Some have suggested that Starr has some other physiological abnormality. For example, two stomachs or two esophagus, and he can arbitrarily direct objects either to one or to the other.
Despite the fact that Stevie sometimes calls himself the world's only professional 'belcher', in fact, this craft has amazed the public for a long time. So, one of the most famous pioneers of the genre is the Egyptian Hadji Ali, who lived in the last century.
However, be that as it may, Stevie Starr is perhaps the most famous illusionist of this genre on the modern stage. His touring schedule is extremely busy - Starr is invited to shows around the world.
