Terry has had an enormous amount of newspaper coverages, his shows are always crowd draws and are invariably covered by newspapers, tv, and other forms of media. The following interview with Terry was recently printed in the Bugle/Guardian newspaper.

Juggling chainsaws, fire breathing, sword swallowing, and sandwiching himself between two beds of nails. These are just some of the incredible feats performed by local stuntman Terry Cole.

But what exactly makes this man tick? And why does he tackle challenges that many people believe absurd and irrational? Most men at 43 would be settling for a quiet life. But not Terry. "I don't feel 43 so I don't act 43", he told the Bugle.

Ever since he was young he has had a passion for entertaining people. Watching his mum on stage at Lloyd Park Pavilion, Walthamstow, Terry realised that performing was what he wanted to do in life: “I wanted to be an entertainer, I wanted to be on stage”. Although he has always made sure he has a stable income, he has been performing stunts since he was 19. Despite this, he's not crazy.

"Its all to do with mentality. Some of these stunts are crazy but a crazy person couldn't do them", he said. "Having a stable state of mind to perform acts safely is one of the most important things."

There is a lot more to being a stuntman than you may think. Terry is a very spiritual person and has many thoughts on life. Having a positive attitude is important to him and his preparation for stunts. He tries to focus on his acts before attempting them: "If you can picture yourself doing something, you can do it."

Despite all of his success Terry has had the odd mishap. While being driven over by a two-tonne lorry his heart stopped for 30 seconds. However this didn't deter him from performing again. He even joked that next time he wants to die for 60 seconds.

His latest stunt is walking over burning coals. Like many of his other stunts this one was also for charity. He enjoys using his work to raise money. "If a charity can benefit by me doing something, then I have done a good job," he said. The charities closest to his heart include Haven House Hospice for children and Great Ormond Street.

His next event will be skipping the London Marathon and he plans to push Eddie Kidd's wheelchair from John O'Groats to Land's End, all in aid of charity. Terry's work is truly worthwhile and he has helped many people, something he is determined to carry on. He has even created a portfolio, which he hopes will be displayed in a museum in Walthamstow when he has passed away.
