Ok, about me...
I'll make your event, party, or festival even more successful than it would have been without me. I'm cool like that.
And I like cheese.
In addition to the cheese thing, I'm a World Champion, I hold an unbroken World Record in both Speed Throwing and Tomahawk Accuracy, and I was recognized by the International Knife Throwers Hall of Fame as the Best Knife Throwing Performer in 2005 and 2006. Su-weet.
I'm also the president of the LA Daggers, a recreational knife throwing group right here in LA. Want more info? Just ask!
For ALL your instructional knife throwing needs, contact me for private lessons, then go to Throwzini.com and download your Free 101 Knife Throwing Tips.


Throwzini.com is THE best places to buy throwing knives, tomahawks, and a few other items as well. Remember to tell them Jack Dagger sent ya. I want 'em to feel the love. ;)
Many people have asked about the knives I use in my show. They're all custom made, every one, by the world renowned maker of throwing knives:

Joe "Brokenfeather" Darrah


Please feel free to pester him with requests for knives of your own. Tell him Jack Dagger sent ya', too.

Notable First:


I was the first person EVER to slice an object in half (blade-down) on the body of an assistant with a thrown knife during a live performance.
The technical term for this trick is "Ballistic Cutting Board".
However, since I invented it (and I guess I'm a little vain) I like to call it the "Dagg-o-matic", or the "Jack Knife - Cucumber Slice".
This recent footage was taken on the set of "Dream Vision" a Japanese television program (set to air in January). Warning: Not for the squeamish.

Notable First:


I was also the first person EVER to have video documented proof of catching a knife during a live performance!!! Check out these recent videos, also from "Dream Vision".
