Suggest an Escape!
Jonathan would like to hear your suggestions for sticky situations you'd like to see him escape from in the future!
There's a list of escapes he's already done on the shows page, so get your thinking caps on and let's see what we can come up with. Who knows - your idea may just get chosen to be featured in the next series or a web-exclusive video clip!

If Jonathan wants to do something a bit risky, he might try escaping from some type of bondage while in a tank or form that is being filled with fresh concrete. He should wear a full wetsuit and face mask to protect his skin and eyes from the alkaline mixture. He could also have some sort of snorkel or breathing tube in case he becomes submerged.
If Jonathan becomes submerged in the concrete and fails to escape in time the concrete will set up. The set up time is controllable by what is added to the mixture. The idea of being entombed in a solid will give some people nightmares. But, the concrete won't get hard for a long time and Jonathan can be extracted by breaking it up.

Escape From Quick Sand
If you watch Myth Busters, you may have seen the machine they built to demonstrate how quicksand behaves. Quicksand is composed of fine particles of sand suspended in flowing water. The reason it is so deadly is that the more you struggle, the further you sink and viscosity makes it extremely difficult to escape. So, you either keep sinking in until you drown or you dye of dehydration because, although you can float in it, you can't get yourself free from it.
My thought is that Jonathan could either borrow the quicksand machine from Myth Busters or build one like it. He could be handcuffed behind his back and pitched into it. He has to escape from the handcuffs or other bindings without sinking and drowning. Besides that, he has to extract himself from it.
There is one other characteristic of the quicksand machine. When the pumps are turned off, the sand settles and becomes like cement. So, to ad more tension to the stunt, the pump could be controlled by a timer and Jonathan given only a certain amount of time to escape before he is entombed. Of course, if the pump is turned on, it once again becomes quick sand again to allow for his extraction.

well this may not be good but i have not seen any escape artist try it yet so here it is...
Title: restricted movement
descript: ok this is very elaborate so listen up, first jonathans hands will be glued with hands and fingers interlocked, he then will be completely mummified in duct tape (legs taped together,and arms taped to body) so only his nose is showing for him to breath, he may want to be wearing a suit of some kind, like a wet suit, so that the tape does not hurt his skin when removed, then ropes will be tied tightly around his legs, and torso where his arms are under the tape. Hope you like my idea, it will b dificult but jonathan i know you can do it, if you are going to try this for fun and no for any kind of show can you plz make a video of it and send it to my email or maybe even a photo so i kno you tryed it out. Thanks Jonathan!!!!!

It would be a great way to try out Gorilla Glue and Gorilla Duct Tape. If you're going to mummify Jonathan, why not put him in a sarcophagus in a makeshift tomb. Do you reeeealy think he should wear a wet suit???

well i said that only because i could not think of anything to protect his bare skin i guess a hat and long sleved clothing would work to and if you mummified him and roped him and put him in a tomb that would really be amazing!!!!! that has to be a challenge worth trying thanks snerdguy lol

I'm starting to think that, if Jonathan ever read this, he might think we were trying to do him in. (Do you suppose company would even consider giving him life insurance?) He must be the kind of client that health insurance CEOs have nightmares about.

I really would like to see that idea actually. I remember Adam Savage from Mythbusters saying he felt quite cozy taped upside-down to that plywood Jamie attached him too, I wonder if Jonathan would be just as cozy mummified in duct tape. And I agree with wearing some sort of protective clothing. The acid in the duct tape wouldn't be very good for his skin. If he can escape first with protective clothing, then he can take it to the next level and do it without
