“The fastest reader in the world,” he wrote and shared the video. In the clip, once he gets on the stage, he shares with the judge that he is the ‘fastest reader in the world’ and can read 1,679 pages in two seconds. After getting out of their initial shock, one of the judges tells him that according to the Guinness World Records the person who holds the title can read 80 pages per minute. However, Alfred asserts his claim and goes on to demonstrate his ability. Once he starts doing so, hilarity ensues.

It has nothing to do with understanding what he read,” expressed a third. “Josh you need to stop this, I almost choked on my food. My chest hurts. My eyes are red,” wrote a fourth indicating the video left them laughing.
