Alexander Morrow (stage name: Alex Zander Morrow) is a sideshow performer. At the age of 14, he officially became the youngest confirmed sword swallower in the United States. [http://www.swordswallow.com/records.php Records from Swordswallow.com] (accessed December 22, 2006).] 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.cite video | people = Roz Mason (director), Andrew Waterworth (executive producer) | title = Stomachs of Steel | medium = documentary | publisher = NHNZ | date = July 2004, Discovery Channel | accessdate = 2006-12-22 | url = http://www.offthefence.com/content/programme.php?ID=267 ] 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.
