John Shaw, Sideshow Performer, Pops Corn Out Of His Eye Sockets (VIDEO)

HuffPost Weird News   First Posted: 12/30/11 08:32 AM ET Updated: 12/30/11 09:22 AM ET

Like many people, John Shaw enjoys popping corn.

But where most people are content to pop corn on a stove or a microwave, Shaw's way of popping corn is much more extreme: He pops corn out of his eye sockets.

Actually, his tear ducts. to be more precise.

"I have to use a lot of air pressure and then some muscle control," Shaw explains to Mike Zohn, co-star of the Science Channel series "Oddities." "I didn't say it was going to be pretty."

After the stunt, which can be seen on the show's Dec. 31 episode, Shaw felt obliged to point out, "Look, they're still steaming."

Simply a very good slight-of-hand trick!

Tear ducts are connected to the nose. That's why when you cry your nose runs. I had plugs put in mine because I have dry eyes. I think this is possible.
