This is one of the few “impossible” records I’ve broken. I rank the records I break on an easy, medium, hard, impossible scale. Easy means there may be someone else in the room who could break this right now, medium means anyone could break this record with some practice, hard means it takes an expert in the field with dedicated practice to break, and impossible means I may be the one person in the world who can break this record right now. 

I have held this record for most juggling catches in one minute with three objects (blindfolded) continuously since I first broke it in March of 2016 with 364 catches. I’m also the only record holder since it was a new record for Guinness at the time. 

I then attempted to break it again live on the TODAY show in September 2016. That didn’t go nearly as well as I practiced. I did break it in 2017 at the FIRST Robotics nationals competition in St. Louis with 428 catches in one minute tying the overall speed juggling record at the time. I’ve since gone on to get 502 catches in a minute with the cascade juggling patter and now Guinness accepts the shower pattern with 586 still pending Guinness approval from last December. 

Today I bested my own mark with 454 catches in a minute bringing this one over 7.5 catches per second for the first time. If no one challengers me this time, I may have to break revisit this mark again in another 3 years :).
