I think I’ve seen this guy before, or someone doing a very similar act. Regurgitators have different levels of skill. They say they swallow things, all the way down to the stomach, but mostly stuff doesn’t get that far. The coins may never have left his mouth. I suspect he had a small plastic wrapped packet of sugar secreted in his cheek that he could use for this effect, or he’s expert in keeping dry sugar somewhere in his mouth, and can swallow the water without getting it all wet. By blowing out a little stream of sugar like that, the caked up stuff stays in his mouth. But it’s still an entertaining act.

I remember one guy, could have been him, pretended to swallow a mixed up Rubik’s cube and regurgitate it solved. Somewhere on the intertubes should be a video of a great regurgitator who would swallow some water, then some alcohol. He would regurgitate the alchohol onto a little paper house with a candle in it, and start up a huge blaze. Then he would expel the water and extinquish it.

Bumping this. There have to be some good vomit related anecdotes out there.
