Titles read: “NOW Pathe Pictorial has pleasure in presenting - SIRDANI THE INDESTRUCTIBLE!“ Pathe Studio, London. Various shots of 'indestructible' man Sirdani doing some horrible things to his body. He is dressed in a kind of pseudo-Egyptian outfit consisting of a head-dress and robe. First he pulls a large needle through the skin in his neck (yeuch!) and then stomps about in bare feet on some broken glass. He then climbs onto a stool and jumps onto the glass (youch!) and presses his feet down hard - natural sound of the glass crunching. He sits on the stool and shows us the soles of his feet - no blood! Then Sirdani tells us he likes music with his meals and bites into a record. He follows this with a chomp on a glass and washes it down with a swig of water. (Cataloguer feels quite faint and goes for a lie down.) Note: I think Sirdani was usually referred to as a conjurer.
