14 Jun World Record Holding escapologist Stuart Burrell on his next venture
12 Time World Record Holding Escapologist and Stamina Strongman will be attempting to set two new, and quite unusual, World Records on the 2ndand 3rd of July at the Magic at the Barn event in Rochford.
The two records are “Most Iron Bars bent in one minute” and “Most Frying pans Rolled in one minute”. Both require the performer to just use their hands, without additional mechanical assistance.
Stuart is attempting these records to raise money to help Chelmsford Community Radio, a local community radio station run by volunteers, acquire a FM Transmitter.
These records are in addition to attempting to better his personal best times and (and at least one World Record), for escaping from handcuffs, chains and straitjackets.
Stuart said “For the last two years, I have been fortunate to set at least one World Record whenever I have performed at the Barn. That in itself is an amazing achievement but this time I am not just attempting Escapology, this time I am attempting to set new world records for strength, which, given the summer heat and the nature of the records, is just as vexing and challenging. I tried to set a strength record last year only to fail, due to exhaustion.”
Whilst Stuart will be performing outside, prior to the shows, inside, the event once again boasts a world class line up of performers, including, fresh from Britain’s Got Talent Christian Lee, the international illusionist Richard Griffin and award-winning conjuring feats of Oliver Tabor.
Tickets are available online at or via www.magicatthebarn.co.uk or through the ticket hotline on 01702 543242
Stuart added that “To be associated with an event like Magic at the Barn is a true honour and I am thrilled to once again have an opportunity to perform there and, hopefully, raise some funds for a worthy cause.”
