This will be a truly exceptional lecture!

Jonathan Goodwin has performed more escapes on TV than anyone else. Among other accolades, he has been hailed as the most creative and innovative escape artist since Houdini. Now Jonathan has written a book, ‘The Methods To My Madness’, discussing and explaining all the material and methods he has used in the course of his 30 years in magic and escapology. This is the definitive guide to modern-day, creative escapology and related side-show feats. As if that were not enough, this unique and remarkable book also details the vast range of material Jonathan has created for other performers.

The scope and range of this amazing new book is remarkable. Among other subjects, Jonathan covers rope escapes, handcuff escapes, lock-picking, zip tie escapes, water escapes and escapes in which Jonathan was ‘vacuum-sealed’ inside various constraints! It also covers Jonathan’s version of ‘Cheating the Gallows’, advice on how to hold your breath, escapes from burning ropes, licking a hot poker, eating glass and walking on it, the ‘Bed of Nails’ test, safe-rigging, the blindfold bullwhip routine, Russian Roulette and even a Spirit Cabinet routine!

You really couldn’t ask for a richer, more fascinating array of creative material. In this brand-new lecture, Jonathan will talk about his life in magic and escapology and discuss as much of his new book’s content as time allows.

This is going to be a wonderful lecture by an outstanding creative artist who single-handedly re-invented the art of escape. You do not want to miss this! Come along to our wonderful HQ, hang out with your friends and then enjoy a lecture that will be talked about for a long time to come.
