MEET :Tim Cridland: ‘The Torture King’

Tim Cridland has built a career from putting himself through agonizing torture, proudly dubbing himself Zamora the Torture King. With a stage name like that the curious audiences..
know what they’re in for, and Tim has proven his extraordinary tolerance for pain for decades.
He has impaled himself with skewers practically everywhere in his body and swallowed flaming swords, he has lain on a bed of nails while being jumped on by audience members – and these are just a couple of his torturous feats. Tim’s been featured in the Guinness Book of World Records and Ripley’s Believe or Not. He owes his extreme tolerance for pain to what some doctors believe is a rare and dangerous condition where an individual is incapable of feeling pain.
