    just examined closely frame by frame in a video editor.. the coins were NEVER balanced, he held them untill his arm started moving... He released the exact same time as his arm moved... INVALID RECORD.. I think the board should look closer.. its 100% not valid

  • United States Dush bag

  • I agree with all of u the record is 'balancing' pennies on the elbow im only 13 and i can do 31 BALANCING them on my elbow

  • Canada Dan Rollman

    Yeah, I don't feel great about this submission. I'd like to see Tom do it again, and add a rule that the stack must be clearly balanced on the elbow before the coins are snatched.

  • The Internet G Christopher

    technically he did snatch it off of his elbow, but the pennies definitely were not "balanced", at all.

  • The time between the left-handed penny release to the right-handed penny capture is suspiciously fast. What do others think?

    • The Internet Rebeka Schleyer

      Yes I agree! He is GUIDING THE PENNIES! THAT SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED!

  • I am pretty sure the image in the bottom left is Tony Danza not John Stamos. I vote we reduce the count to 52.

  • o-mazing
