It was awesome how he tied sword swallowing to the Gospel,
taking the audience from non-belief to belief
and tieing it all together so remarkably.
Dan has an amazing testimony and a powerful message,
and he uses sword swallowing to deliver that message.
You have to hear it to believe it!

If he's booked, you need to change your date, because he's a great artist!

or holding my breath at any given moment throughout the show.
I thought the kids might not enjoy the show at first;
But watching them and their excitement, awe, disbelief,

Dan's interaction with the audience afterwards added a very personal touch.

Dan has a unique story that needs to be shared with others."
-Jason Sikes, Recreation Minister, Salem Baptist Church, McDonough, GA
"Dan Meyer is one of the most unique performers I've ever seen!

I'm just glad this is NOT the talent God gave me!"

Dan demonstrated that if God can use a nobody from Indiana, he can anyone!

Proof of a lasting impression in their minds and conviction in their hearts."
-Bryan Roe, Youth Pastor, Crosspoint Church, Oconomowoc, WI

Most Christian artists don't perform extreme feats on America's Got Talent,
Described as a "Christian David Copperfield" who combines real feats with a powerful message instead of just tricks and illusions, Dan eats fire, performs the Human Blockhead, and swallows solid steel swords, daggers, bayonets, sabers, rapiers, cutlasses, serpentine swords, curved swords, hedge clippers, saws, and other objects from 15 to 30 inches in length and up to 15 swords at ONCE! Despite a close call resulting in a near-fatal injury while swallowing 5 swords at once, Dan continues to amaze audiences with his family-oriented show.
