Guinness World Record holders are in a select club of individuals and groups with extraordinary talents, determination (and occasionally just too much free time on their hands). Magician/ comedian Chris Linn is one of even a smaller group of people to actually hold multiple Guinness World Records. Enjoying the personal challenge and showmanship involved in world record breaking attempts, Chris is always pushing himself towards breaking new records.

“Fastest Balloon Dog Made Behind the Back”
5.94 seconds

At Rochester Hills City Hall, Chris Linn make a balloon dog with both hands behind the back in just 5.94 seconds. To break the record, Chris had to twist a balloon poodle that was identical is shape and size (within a tolerance of just 2cm) to the example given by Guinness. Including the head, legs, paws, a puffy poodle tail, the completed balloon sculpture had 13 parts. Chris broke the previous record by a full second!

“Most One Handed Playing Card Scales”
114 Playing Cards a Distance of at Least 12 feet in One Minute

Card scaling/ card throwing is a unique skill requires both strength and dexterity of the hands. While holding a stack of playing cards in one hand, Chris uses only his thumb to propel the cards from the stack at a high rate of speed. Chris broke the World Record by scaling 114 playing cards a distance of at least 12 feet in one minute.

The record breaking stunt took place during Chris' performance run at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio...a park known for their world record breaking thrill rides.

Proving once again he has some of the “fastest hands in magic”, Chris Linn breaks the world record for fastest balloon dog made behind the back
