Iranian 'human magnet' man breaks his own Guinness World Record for balancing nearly 100 spoons on his body- Watch video

People have always been intrigued with talent, records, and the limits of human potential, The Guinness World Records continues to be a platform that celebrates and recognises these incredible and the truly unusual. Be it the longest fingernails or people performing mind-bending stunts, such records go beyond conventional ideas of success. But such instances often leave our minds boggling about what else people can do. And sometimes, the answer is truly unexpected and bizarre.

While many achievements in the Guinness World Records are about strength, speed, or tolerance, other incidents that get attention are because of their strangeness, making us laugh and wonder at the same time.

Recently, a man from Iran has ‘magnetically’ attracted attention towards him for breaking his own world record, once again.
Abolfazl Saber Mokhtari from Iran has done it again. He has broken his own Guinness World Record by balancing as many as 96 spoons on his body!
The moment was shared in a video by the official Guinness World Records (GWR) account, with the caption, “Most spoons balanced on the body 96 by Abolfazl Saber Mokhtari (sic).” In the clip, Mokhtari stands still while someone carefully places spoon after spoon onto his body, which appears to hold them effortlessly in place, and look as if he’s defying gravity.
