Man balances 319 glasses on his head. Watch how he smashes them at the end
Aristotelis Valaoritis from Paphos in Cyprus made it to the Guinness World Records list after balancing 319 glasses on his head.
Guinness World Records (GWR) took to Instagram to share a video of a man’s incredible balancing act. A video by GWR shows him balancing 319 wine glasses on his head and also slowly dancing. This intriguing act is, however, not the only thing that has captured the attention of the people. After creating the record, the man simply drops the glasses on the floor for them to shatter.

“Most wine glasses balanced on the head 319 by Aristotelis Valaoritis,” GWR wrote as they posted the video of the man hailing from Paphos in Cyprus.

The clip opens to show Valaoritis with several glasses on his head. Another person, perched on a table, is seen adding more glasses for Valaoritis to finish. Despite the increasing number of tumblers, he goes on to balance them perfectly. Once done, he doesn’t wait for others to take off the glasses one by one but simply moves his head. With this little movement, the tower of glasses comes crashing down and shatters.
This is not the first time Valaoritis has tried balancing glasses on his head, reports a blog by GWR. Previously, he also had a record of balancing 49 glasses and dancing. He achieved this new record with 319 wine glasses on his head on May 26, 2023.
