Johnny Strange

Johnny Strange is an English performance artist and world record breaking daredevil and sideshow performer based in London, England. Johnny Strange began his career as an amateur escapologist after studying the works of Harry Houdini. He began picking handcuffs and escaping from straight jackets, padlocks and chains; this lead to him becoming fascinated with Victorian sideshows and freak shows. He has since mastered a large repertoire of unusual skills such as juggling running chainsaws, target whip cracking, lifting weights attached to his ear piercings, feats of speed and prop manipulation as well as numerous classic sideshow and fakir stunts such as sword swallowing, the human blockhead, fire eating and breathing, eating broken glass and the bed of nails. Johnny Strange has toured extensively throughout the world and has been featured in large publications such as Ripley's Believe it or Not! and Guinness World Records as well as appearing on many radio and TV programs.
