I have another addition to the chronicles of “The World’s Fastest Juggling”. This time I got the most juggling catches in one minute while balancing on a Swiss exercise ball.

After decades of balancing on a roller board and riding a unicycle; a couple years ago I taught myself how to balance on a Swiss ball. I just about broke my toes a few times but came out with only a few stubbed toes. The effort was worth it as I’ve made about a dozen Guinness World Record attempts while standing on a Swiss ball now. Most have been while wielding a samurai sword to slice fruit. It turns out speed juggling it quite a bit harder than swinging a samurai sword. While speed juggling balance and timing are more critical and the margin for error is lower, fortunately, so are the stake. 

It took quite a bit of practice several official attempts but I finally completed a run of 522 catches in one minute to set the inaugural Guinness World Record mark.
