“Their act is notably unusual and a genuine crowd pleaser. From an Entertainment Director’s perspective they are an absolute joy and ever remain upbeat and professional even in less than perfect Festival conditions. Alex and Charon would make a wonderful addition to any Faire, Festival or special event.”
-Rowan Thompson, On Site Event Productions

“You don’t go to see Charon Henning because she’s a lady swordswallower. You don’t go to see her because she’s actually invented a new twist on a 3000 year old trade. You go to see her because she’s the smoothest steel dropper you’ll find anywhere. And she takes the act all the way to the pit of your stomach.”
-James Taylor, Editor, “Shocked & Amazed!” Magazine
