Herkules/Jozsef draws on his knowledge of physics to help him execute many of his amazing stunts, including the cannonball catch, which he explains is a simple matter of trajectory calculation (and a little bit of strength)!

"Presenting a man with a mountain of muscle… A titan among titans… the mighty, the powerful, the one-and-only… Herkules!"
Herkules
It is hard to imagine, watching Herkules catch a 70-pound cannonball traveling at 75 miles per hour, that he once led a quiet existence as Joszef Pakucza, a teacher in his native Hungary. Yet, in the 136th Edition of The Greatest Show On Earth®, audiences witness this bear of a man undertake a number of similarly impossible tasks. After demonstrating why he is the only person in the world to attempt a stupefying stunt incorporating the tires of a two-ton Jeep and his very own abdomen, all can understand why Herkules becomes Dan’s most powerful new Dream Circus friend.
