Water spouting
Water spouting is a sideshow regurgitation act in which a performance artist drinks a large amount of fluid, such as water, and regurgitates it in a controlled manner. Typically the act includes an element of stage magic in the transformation of the fluid; for example, ingesting water and regurgitating it as a stream of red wine or milk. History. Water spouting has been performed since the 17th century. During this time, performance artists such as Jean Royer () and Blaise Manfre were known for their spouting technique. The act was revived by vaudeville artist Hadji Ali ( 1937). Ali was  known to drink water and then kerosene which he would use to start a fire and then extinguish it. Other performers during this time include Mac Norton. David Blaine performed Ali's water and kerosene act on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in November 2013. Blaine explained the process he took to emulate Ali on the show "David Blaine: Real or Magic".
