Balance World Records

Doug McManaman balanced an egg on a golf ball placed in a shot glass in one minute, 9.64 seconds.

Slovakian setter Pavol Durdik kept a spinning fidget spinner balanced on a hand-held banana — with a ping pong ball perched on top of the spinner — for 2 minutes, 24.35 seconds, claiming a brand-new RecordSetter category from his living room in Púchov. The stack defies obvious physics: a curved, held banana, a whirring three-lobed spinner, and a hollow celluloid ball, all staying together long past the point a reasonable observer would have called it. Durdik holds over 1,800 current RecordSetter titles and has spent years turning whatever is on the kitchen counter into an unlikely balancing feat.

Pavol Durdik held 12 clothespins on his eyebrows in Puchov, Slovakia. Seated in front of a window, he turned his head from side to side with his hands clear for roughly 13 seconds, then removed the clothespins one at a time, allowing six on each eyebrow to be counted. Not the usual use for a laundry clip.
