    great work!

  • Philippines MaAnn P.

    The record is given back to Mark Evans for following the same form of the original record setter.

  • Canada Doug McManaman

    yes Stephen it is holding the pencil and thats the form of the record i broke.

  • Canada Doug McManaman

    I only did this record to show that it was not performed the way you and mark did it as for the record of balancing on finger as i said before the record should go back to Mark Evans .

  • United States Tai Star

    This record should never have been accepted.

  • United States Tai Star

    OH! SORRY DOUG. I see you Didnt start this wrong form.

  • United States Tai Star

    Doug I am very disappointed that you would try such a cheap trick, and in RecordSetter for accepting this..

  • United States Tai Star

    Doug you are holding the pencil vertically... at what point is the pencil balanced on ONE FINGER ???! NEVER !! This does not follow the original record and Should be DENIED.

  • India Suresh Gaur

    Slowly-slowly criteria is now changing of real balancing of object and I do not want to blame only one person. So this is the great lesson presented by DOUG MCMANAMAN that any one can break tough Record by using very simple method. Thanks to DOUG Sir for taking such steps.

  • Canada Doug McManaman

    So now that we know what happened why not make 2 records .

  • Australia Demythrate

    Ok, this is no offence to Doug, or anyone else, but this record is now completely ruined. Now instead of someone training hard to balance a pencil on your finger to know holding it with your finger and thumb. Doug, you've done the right thing as you "followed the form of the current world record holder", but pavol ruined what was a difficult and fascinating world record.

  • Wales Mark Evans

    nice one doug if you cant beat um join um dont blame you

  • Canada Doug McManaman

    this record should belong to Mark its very obvious .

  • Wales Mark Evans

    apply more pressure on your knees

    • Australia Demythrate

      Hmmm thx mark how's the golf tournament

  • Wales Mark Evans

    brendan get your self a virb garmin the record more than an hour use a 64mb,and if it splits up,with the garmin it has the software to put the 2 videos together without time delay,they are dead easy to use

  • Wales Mark Evans

    thanks brendan i haven't retired yet im doing a few guinness records and i have just qualified for the long drive european golf tour,well into my golf at the mo,but i will make the time to come back soon,and look forward to compeating with you

  • Wales Mark Evans

    this record,my golf ball skimming record and probably beating the guinness record for furthest distance to throw a bullseye in darts,many thanks brendan

  • Australia Demythrate

    Clearly his thumb is holding the pencil in place with the pencil is on his finger.

  • Wales Mark Evans

    this record should be in a different record tittle regardless weather he cheated or not,when balancing things its easier on the tip of the finger,when we submit records we always state weather its on the finger or on the tip of the finger,if he cheated its up to recordsetters to look back at the evidence and decide,when i balance things i always turn around a bit through out attempts and come nearer the camera sometimes to prove im not cheating,if pavol didnt cheat he could always do it again and beat his on time to prove that he did not cheat many thanks mark

    • Australia Demythrate

      Couldn't of said it better myself Mark. Just a quick question, what was the hardest record you ever accomplished?

  • Australia Stephen Robertson

    Where is your thumb? You can see it at the back.

  • Sweden Thommy Ohlund

    Sorry, but that looks fishy, Pavol. It looks very strange. I can't buy it.

  • Australia Stephen Robertson

    Nice one tai...

  • United States Tai Star

    the word "balance" may be written in any language
