The world keepy-uppy record was smashed by more than four hours in 2009. Dan Magness, 25, kept a football in the air using his feet, legs and head for a marathon 24 hours in front of crowds at London’s Covent Garden; the previous record had been 19 hours and 30 minutes. Just seconds away from reaching the 24-hour mark, Magness relaxed as the crowd cheered him on and almost lost control of the ball. He managed to regain his composure and the exhausted Magness passed his magic milestone. The feat went into the Guinness World Records, which allowed Magness, from Milton Keynes in southern England, only a few brief pauses in order to relax his muscles.
