I was, to my infinite surprise, real.
Guinness just certified it.


"Franky Zapata, the French jet ski champion who invented the Flyboard Air, has set a new Guinness World Record for the farthest hoverboard flight. Zapata achieved the feat Saturday morning off the coast of Sausset-les-Pins in the south of France, riding his Flyboard Air hoverboard for a distance of more than 2,252 meters (7,388) feet). That far surpasses the previous record of 275.9 meters (905 feet, 2 inches), set last year by Canadian inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru."

The name of the guy is Isao Machii, he holds the Guinness World record for...I think number of cuts on a free standing tatami mat or something like that? He did a bunch of segments for this show ("Best123"), including slicing a BB in midair. See

When did feats of endurance, like staying in a box for 44 days, become magic? Or for that matter, entertaining to watch?

when people died from not eating for 44 days or from staying underwater for 17 minutes. duh.

Maybe you think holding your breath is magic, but psssst: it's not. But hey, maybe you also think the Guinness World Records is a book of magic tricks. Duh.


pssst, magic isn't real.

The music video for "Scream", directed by Mark Romanek and production designer Tom Foden, is one of Jackson's most critically acclaimed. In 1995, it gained 11 MTV Video Music Award Nominations — more than any other music video — and won "Best Dance Video", "Best Choreography", and "Best Art Direction". The song and its accompanying video are a response to the backlash Jackson received from the media after being accused of child molestation in 1993. A year later, it won a Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form; shortly afterward Guinness World Records listed it as the most expensive music video ever made at a cost of $7 million. -Wikipedia
