I too wonder how, because of human natural reflexes which can't allow anything which is not food to get through the throat. It must be a trick.

It wouldn't go down the windpipe, it'd go down the esophagus, And I'm they practice with blunt objects first? I think it's a skill. Same with any danger sport.Vg345 wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 05:27 I'm skeptical at best. I think that to teach and learn a skill, there has to be some accepted leeway for failure. Because that's what people do as beginners. They fail. In this particular case, failure has a high probability of being fatal. I'm not buying the point that a person who is allegedly skilled at this would get there without accidentally cutting his windpipe a couple dozen times.
So, I guess no. I don't believe that it isn't a trick.
