Right now there is nothing to support adding this to the article but in my research I came across this NYT article on the 1932 film Scarlet Dawn, which has one Hadji Ali playing the role of "Turkish Landlord". Other than the date and that it's not uncommon for vaudeville performers to pop up here and there in bit roles in films, I don't know if this is this Ali. Anyway, if anyone happens to have the film they can verify by sight whether it is or is not this fellow and report back.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 03:17, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

The first sentence of the second has been moved the the first. But the division here is that the first paragraph is about what the three swallowing tricks are, and the second is about how they it is thought they were achieved.
If improvements are imminent after the completed review, please place this GAN "on hold" rather than leaving it open. AstroCog ( talk) 15:04, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
The article reads (c. 1888–92 – November 5, 1937); to me, it reads like "born somewhen between 88 and 92". The note, however, says "[...]sources give Ali's year of birth as 1892 or approximately 1892. [...] If Ali's daughter was accurate about her father's age at the time of his death, he was born in 1887 or '88", meaning Ali is born either 1888 or 1892, making it somewhat misleading (and the possible dob 1887 is missing anyway).
How about something like: (c. 1887, 1888 or 1892 - November 5, 1937)?

Considering all the travels and adventures befalling his corpse, it is a wonder that this article doesn't say where Hadji Ali is buried. Whereizzit? -- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 18:56, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Hadji Ali demonstrating controlled regurgitation Crisco edit.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 5, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-11-05. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 01:35, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
A late discussion of Hadji Ali was Judy Garland on the Tonight Show (24 June 1968) starting around 13:04. Another was on David Blaine's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. — LlywelynII 06:39, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
