David Rush Breaks Guinness World Record for Most Juggling Tricks in One Minute
By David Rush
Hey, it’s David Rush here, and I’m excited to share the news: I’ve officially broken the Guinness World Record for the **most juggling tricks performed in one minute**! This record has been on my bucket list since 2017, and in 2024, at the Guinness World Records headquarters in London, I finally achieved it with **49 tricks** in 60 seconds.
The previous record of **39 tricks** was held by one of my juggling idols, Taylor Glen (aka **TaylorTries**), a legend in the juggling community. To say this record was a challenge is an understatement. It took years of practice, weeks of intense preparation, and a commitment to finally take it down (as well as the preparation to ask for her forgiveness afterwords, which thankfully she gave!). When the moment came, I gave it everything I had. With a Guinness adjudicator on site, I performed **49 juggling tricks** in one minute—shattering the previous record and achieving a goal I’ve dreamed about for years. And the best part? I got it on the first try.
This record isn’t just about the number of tricks; it’s about the journey (especailly the journey to holding the most concurrent Guinness World Records titles). Taylor Glen has been an inspiration to me and countless others in the juggling world, and breaking this record shows the power of perseverance, practice, and passion. It’s also a reminder that even the most daunting goals are achievable with dedication and hard work. This record has been on my list since 2017, and finally achieving it in 2024 feels like a full-circle moment.
