LESSON 14
The world record holder for head balancing

John Evans: I managed to do 92 people in one hour and it only took me an average of 39 seconds to do each person. So that was a hard record to do.

The lightest record which I have is the Guinness Book of Records, which is only 217 lbs in weight, but it's 62 Guinness Book of Records one stacked on top of the other. They're almost falling over because it's one single stack. And there's no glue, it's just their own weight that's holding them.

The 'Mini' - that goes up in the air to six feet, I pick it up, walk away and balance that on my head.

I've had a speedboat on my head. That's not a world record, but I have walked 50 feet with a speedboat on the top of my head.

There's no one else in the world that can do what I do.
