- 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.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
- Johnny Strange holds multiple Guinness World Records for his unusual skills. In 2013 he gained the nickname "the man with ears of steel" after setting the official Guinness World Record for 'the heaviest weight lifted by pierced ears'. Guinness soon challenged him to attempt 'the heaviest vehicle pulled by pierced ears', Strange accepted their challenge and managed to pull a Cessna 172-P aircraft over 20 ft using his super strong ear lobes. After setting this new record Strange became the only person in history to hold both the record for 'the heaviest weight lifted by pierced ears' and 'the heaviest vehicle pulled by pierced ears' at the same time.
