Daniel Blackner, known as "Captain Dan the Demon Dwarf" performed at
the Circus of Horrors, known for its oddball and offbeat performances.
As part of the show, the dwarf pulls a Henry vacuum cleaner using a
special attachment, across the show attached to his penis. However, the
vacuum cleaner was broken before a performance and performer Blackner
placed extra-strong glue on the attachment to fix it, neglecting to
wait the entire 20 minutes required for the glue to dry, which resulted
in his penis becoming glued to the vacuum cleaner.
After being
rushed to the A&E department of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, Blackner
was freed after an hour and remarked that: "It was the most
embarrassing moment of my life when I got wheeled into a packed A&E
with a vacuum attached to me. I just wished the ground could swallow me
up. Luckily, they saw me quickly so the embarrassment was short lived."
Hospital
sources confirmed that they treated the performer, but a spokesman for
the Royal Infirmary said he could not comment on individual cases.
