I consider myself a juggler. I’m certainly not the best juggler but there are few things I’m better at than juggling. After countless hours of practice, I have also acquired a number of skills that fit into the category of “stupid human tricks” that are useful for little other than entertaining myself and others. One of those skills is catching things in my mouth. For this record, I combine the two skills of juggling and catching things in my mouth.

The Guinness World Records title is for the most grapes caught in the mouth in one minute while juggling. The record when we attempted this stood officially at 27. Before this was approved another team got 32. My neighbor, Jonathan “Hollywood” Hannon was again my thrower and while juggling 3 balls for the full minute with no drops or stops I was able to catch 35 grapes in my mouth.

I was expecting this record to be easier than it was. It took a while not to move my hands out of position while my head darted back and forth catching grapes. Once I was able to separate the movement of my head and hands, it made breaking this record possible. I think we’ll probably have to defend this record soon but we’re sure we can extend it even further.
