YES, you read it right.
A magician has broken the world record for balancing the most ever toilet rolls on his head. As you do.
James Rawlins, better known as Jay, broke the previous record by one by somehow keeping 152 toilet rolls on his head in an attempt at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival.
As per the rules, all the rolls had to be balanced on a single roll on his head for a full 30 seconds for the record to count.
He wasn't allowed to drop one and had to get the toilet rolls on his head himself.
He did it in one go.
A man of many talents
It's not just toilet rolls either. Rawlins is a multiple Guinness World Records title holder in the field of balancing things on his head or other body parts, according to the website of Britain's Got Talent on which he has appeared.
These have included lawnmowers on his chin, balancing chairs on his chin, and even a chainsaw on, you guessed it, his chin.
As well as appearing on several TV shows from the age of four, Jay has performed for Dame Joan Collins and Sir Cliff Richard, is a regular at the Glastonbury Festival, and has featured in a national advertising campaign for Cadbury’s, according to his website.
He is also regularly invited to corporate events, holiday parks, and award shows.
This includes a feature performance in front of Swiss football team, FC Basel.
Rawling's world record attempt took place on June 27 in the circus Big Top at Glastonbury Festival 2024.
