An Iranian man has broken a world record by balancing 96 spoons on his body. Abolfazl Saber Mokhtari, age 54, set the new record with Guinness World Records, beating his own past achievements. The event marks the third time Mokhtari has claimed this unusual title.
Mokhtari first broke the record in 2021 by balancing 85 spoons. He improved it to 88 in 2023, and now he has gone even further with 96. Each spoon stayed in place using only the natural stickiness of his skin—no glue or tricks involved.
He says this talent started when he was a child, playing with objects that stuck to his body. Over time, with lots of practice, he learned how to make almost anything stay on his skin, including plastic, glass, fruit, and even stone or wood.
In fact, Mokhtari told Guinness that he could even balance a full-grown person on his body. While that might sound hard to believe, his spoon record is proof of his unusual ability.
