The Jacques Romano Story – Dr Berthold Eric Schwartz
KUDA BUX
"I met Kuda Bux in England, and he wanted me to manage him. I remember his giving a demonstration at Oxford when he walked through the fire. Some Oxford students tried it and were so severely burned that they needed extensive treatment. Years later, in midtown New York, I watched him walk through a pit, approximately fifteen yards long, and the depth was above his ankles. I could not stand the heat within three feet of the pit. In the middle of the feat he stopped and stepped up on a stone for a second while the press photographers took pictures. I was the only one he knew in the United States.
Before he did his fire walk, he scrupulously followed a rigid diet. He told me that his fire walk depended on his diet and emotional state of mind. He abstained entirely from meat. If someone dropped some meat into the pit, he knew he would be burned."
