I get to go back to my juggling roots for this Guinness World Record’s title. I have been off doing all sorts of crazy Guinness World Record’s this year but hadn’t done a single juggling record. It was overdue.

For this record, I had to stand atop a balance board that met strict Guinness regulations for size, material, and workmanship. And then I had to juggle – fast. Guinness set the minimum mark at 360 catches completed in one minute using the standard cascade juggling pattern (shower not allowed for this one). That’s a mark that even accomplished jugglers may have trouble completing while on solid ground.

After this run. It’s going to be nigh on impossible for a juggler to beat unless they apply themselves specifically to speed juggling for several months.

The board wasn’t allowed to touch the ground and I could never hold more than 1 ball in a hand at a time.

I’m surprised it only took me two full minute attempts to achieve this result. (The first time was about 450 catches which was good, but I really wanted to hit 8 catches per second). On the second run, I got 485 catches smashing the Guinness minimum, meeting my goal of 8 catches per second, and was even within striking distance of the overall 3 ball cascade speed juggling record of 502 catches in a minute I set in December.

What speed juggling record should I attempt next?
