Pullman resident to appear on "America's Got Talent" Tuesday

Pullman sideshow artist Brad Byers is scheduled to appear on NBC's "America's Got Talent" Tuesday night, June 11.

Guinness World Records calls Byers "the Human Tool Box." He’s performed in 20 countries; on national TV for David Letterman; for the History Channel series “Stan Lee’s Superhumans;” and in the past on “America’s Got Talent.” A picture of him swallowing swords became an official postage stamp in Grenada. He earned the name the Human Tool Box because of his ability to insert tools into his body through his nasal cavities. One of his prized acts involves a power drill.

Byers is a Moscow native who works at the University of Idaho. Here's a video of his Hook and Drill act from national television:

Byers can put a propane torch out with his tongue. Ouch.

Byers uses a 110-volt electric drill to ream out his nose, which spins much faster than a battery-powered drill.

If Brad Byers leans to the side he can swallow a curved sword. Don't try this at home.
