This isn’t my first fruit ninja Guinness World Records title, and neither is it the last.
This time I take on the Guinness World Record’s title for most apples sliced in 30 seconds while juggling 3 knives. The previous record holder was Josh Horton, an accomplished juggler and YouTube star. He had broken this one a few times before and held the record at 17 apples sliced in 30 seconds.
Jonathan “Hollywood” Hannon worked with me on this one to get the timing just right on the throws so they got there right when I needed them. It was hard enough getting the double spin throw to my own left-hand right and then the next throw a single to my right hand. Add on top of that having to slice an apple with the right-hand knife (meaning I have to catch and twist it just right) and this record took years of juggling practice plus months of specific mechanics practice to master.
In the end, we ended up with 21 apples sliced in 30 seconds, and it’s already been approved by Guinness. We published the 1-minute version of this record previously at 40 apples sliced in one minute.
