How I Broke a World Record with Two Balloons and My Head

Have you ever wondered how long you can keep two balloons in the air using only your head? I did, and I decided to find out.

My ultimate goal is to hold the most concurrent Guinness world record titles by the end of 2024. The current record is 182, and I currently hold 161 and any record I’ve previously held is a prime candidate to take back to reach my goal. 

One such record is the longest time to keep two balloons in the air using only my head. This record requires skill, coordination, and concentration. The balloons have to be hit alternately, and if one of them pops up and hits the other, it’s game over.

I first broke this record in 2018, when I kept two balloons in the air for three minutes and 12 seconds. But then someone else broke it in 2019, with a time of six minutes and 34 seconds. I wanted to reclaim my record, but I couldn’t make a Guinness application for a while because I had reached the limit.

But I finally got the chance to attempt the record again. I had been practicing for weeks. It was harder than I remembered, and it took me several tries before I could even last longer than a minute.

But I didn’t give up. I kept practicing, improving, and learning from my mistakes. I knew I had what it takes to break the record, and I was determined to do it.

And I did it. I kept two balloons in the air using only my head for 13 minutes and 58 seconds. I broke the record by more than seven minutes, and I added another title to my collection. I now hold 162 Guinness world record titles, and I’m one step closer to my goal.

I learned a valuable lesson from this experience. Even if you have broken a world record before, it doesn’t mean it will be easy to do it again. You have to keep practicing, keep challenging yourself, and keep having fun.

What’s your next challenge? What are you passionate about? What are you willing to do to achieve your dreams?

I hope you enjoyed reading my story and learned something from it. I learned that anything is possible with dedication, perseverance, and a little bit of fun. And of course, two balloons and my head.
