An Iranian man set a new record by balancing a total of 88 spoons on his shirtless body.
In doing so, he broke his own record of 85 spoons, which was set in 2022. Mokhtari told Guinness World Records he decided to pursue the record for most spoons balanced on the body after a lifetime of sticking objects to his skin.
“I accidentally noticed this talent of mine when I was a kid,” Mokhtari said after his first attempt at the record was certified in January 2022, “but after multiple years of practice and effort, I was able to strengthen my talent and develop it to where it is now.”
He told the record-keeping organisation his talent isn’t limited to spoons. “Anything, I mean it, any object. Anything that has a surface I can stick to my body, such as plastic, glass, fruit, stone, wood and even a fully grown human,” he said.
He added: “I can transfer this energy I have in me to them (the objects) as long as I can touch and feel them, I push myself then to focus as much as possible on the objects on my body, and that’s how I do it.”
In another recent instance of stunning balancing skills, a man from Cyprus set a Guinness World Record by balancing 319 wine glasses on his head. A video capturing the record-breaking attempt showed several round glass trays stacked on top of each other on Aristotelis Valaoritis’ head, with each tray holding wine glasses.
