British daredevil Jonathan Goodwin
Goodwin is a pro escapologist, who mixes the skills of Houdini and Superman with his everyday life as a father and family man.
His new TV series features breathtaking stunts that include attaching himself to a car which is being fired off a cliff, climbing all the way around a speeding car, triggering a bear trap with his arm, and lots more out-of-this-world stunts of bravery, agility and physical strength.

Speaking about his series to Digital Spy recently, Goodwin said: "All of this is very much a performance. I'm not naturally an adrenaline junkie. I don't get a big high after I do this stuff, I tend to chill out. So the reason that I do this stuff is to create a show.
"It's about reopening the world of daredevil showmen that doesn't really exist anymore, because I love it, I think it's amazing and I want to show it to as many people as I possibly can."
Describing his job, he added: "I started off as an escape artist so I'd definitely call myself that. But trying to come up with a word that sums up everything that is in the series is very difficult. The closest I get is a daredevil. But you can call me whatever you like!"
