OK, just watched the second episode. Firstly, I'll say up front I didn't find the program particulary exciting. Despite the claims of imminent danger I didn't really have any doubts or worries about what he was doing. The program itself is a mixture of traditional escapology, albeit with a twist, and sideshow stunts. The methods were, again, a mixture of traditional and more unconventional techniques. I think it fair to say that not everything was as it appeared. Pretty much what I thought, I am pretty sure he was harnessed on the cable cars, as no way health and safety would let him do that. I think in pretty much ever stunt at no point is his life ever in any real danger |

I think in pretty much ever stunt at no point is his life ever in any real danger Given the pretty strict Health and Safety regulations surrounding the filming and/or public performance of any stunts (especially in the USA) I would have to agree. Also I very much doubt if any insurance company would touch him with a barge pole if the risks were genuine. |

Is he bringing the kitty from the cafe advert board.? If that is the only logical answer then yes he must, or it could be magic of course! |

Remember to watch The Incredible Mr. Goodwin on Watch tomorrow evening
I just saw episode 4 (special promo), and he does the bed of nail trick again, like he did on Jonathan Ross show, but this time someone holds his legs up, so I am guessing a slightly different gimmick used, but still impressive

New Discovery Channel show for Magic Boy Ben Hanlin
MAGICIAN Ben Hanlin is mixing science and magic in his new TV show.
Ben, from Solihull, is one of four magicians to feature on Breaking Magic on the Discovery Channel.
In ths show, which airs on Wednesday evenings, viewers will see Ben and the other magicians use science to make it look like magic before explaining the science behind the trick.
It is set to air in over 200 countries and the first two episodes will be repeated on Sunday from 5pm before the next two episodes on Wednesday from 8pm.
Ben said: "Discovery found me from my YouTube channel MagicBoyTV. It's amazing that I'm now part of a show that is going to be on around the world."
And Ben is also busy filming a pilot for his own TV show.
He said: "It's extremely exciting. It's for a pretty mainstream channel so if it comes off it could be good. Fingers crossed."
