ENIGMA 

If you've never seen him perform before, you've probably at least heard about The Enigma. He's the guy with blue puzzle pieces tattooed all over his body who has made a name for himself performing stunts such as sword swallowing, pushing a moving power drill up his nose and swallowing various liquids, pumping them out of his stomach and swallowing them again. While he obviously helped reintroduce us to the amazing feats of the circus sideshow performer, what many people may not realize is that The Enigma is also an accomplished musician, both when he was a member of the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow and with his current band the Human Marvels, which also features his feline companion Katzen the Tiger Lady.

"If you've seen the circus of old, you noticed that I was on keyboards making music the entire time," he says. "If you weren't aware, it's because we were so busy blowing out your eyeballs that you didn't get a chance to let your ears catch up. Every time I've ever been onstage, I've always played music."
