What ever happened to that show? I can still picture the revolving wall/door with 'That's Incredible' in huge letters, then Fran Tarkenton and Cathy what's-her-name and John what's-his-face would walk out! They had some strange stuff on that show.
My all-time favorite was this English guy named Stevie Starr. He could swallow various objects and then bring them back up! Light bulbs, goldfish, even sugar, which would come back out -- dry! Once he swallowed four pennies, numbered 1-4 with a marker. The audience would call out a number, and he would bring up the corresponding penny from his stomach. But his greatest trick: he swallowed a miniature Rubik's cube, one of those keychain ones -- and brought it back out, solved! Only years later did I come to the conclusion that, of course, he had swallowed a solved cube prior to the stunt, and simply regurgitated that one.
Ah, those were the days.
