Chayne Hultgren (born 13 April 1978), known professionally as the Space Cowboy is a world record-holding sideshow, street, and freak show performer.

[1][2][3][4] Hultgren performs a number of acts, including juggling a sickle, machete and fire torch, or a battle axe, jungle machete and a butcher knife, whilst blindfolded on a 10-foot unicycle, catching flaming arrows blindfolded shot from a crossbow, suspension (the art of dangling from hooks in the flesh), seven ball juggling, hat manipulation, spoon bending, levitation of himself and other objects, sword swallowing, psychic surgery, the Human Blockhead trick, knife throwing (with his girlfriend and performing partner Zoe Ellis).

His theater act has included swallowing a 60-centimetre (24 in) 2000-volt neon glass tube with a microphone on the end, with his heartbeat audible as the light shines through his skin from the inside.

These include his earliest item, Ditto, the double-bodied duckling, a two-headed cow named Daisy and Maisy, an albino kangaroo, extreme body modification skulls from Peru, shrunken heads from Ecuador and 18th century paintings of bearded women and a young child with lobster hands.

One of his latest acquisitions is what is claimed to be the genuine preserved head of Horace Ridler (a professional tattooed freak and sideshow performer better known as The Great Omi or The Zebra Man, who died in 1969).

Some of his records include: 'Most chainsaw juggling catches on a unicycle', 'Most weight dragged with hooks in the eye sockets', 'Most targets hit with throwing knives in one minute', 'Most swords swallowed underwater', 'Most blowtorches extinguished with the tongue in one minute (temperature of flames reached 1995 °C / 3623 °F)'.

Other records include 'Fastest arrow caught blindfolded', 'Most chainsaw juggling catches on a unicycle', 'Most motorbikes driven over the body while laying on a bed of nails', 'Most flowers whip cracked from the mouth in a minute.

[6] In June 2008 Hultgren was featured on the cover of national newspapers in the UK[7] and Ireland,[8] and on the BBC website when he broke a world record in Dublin by swallowing 27 swords decorated with the flags of all the countries in the European Union, on the day of the EU referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
