| Description: | THE HUMAN OSTRICH A man eats glass and razor blades, lies on a bed of nails and bends an iron bar with his teeth. Durban, South Africa. Various shots of a man at a fairground side-show stall on the beach at Durban who eats anything. He smashes a light bulb and eats it, washing it down with a drink. He lies on a bed of nails and some men put a huge rock on his stomach and hammer it; the Human Ostrich throws it off. He then bends an enormous iron bar between his teeth and eats some razor blades.
