An Iranian man has broken the world record for 'most spoons balanced on the body'.

Abolfazl Saber Mokhtari balanced 85 spoons on his body in Karaj, Iran reports the Guinness World Records.

Mokhta said: "I accidentally noticed this talent of mine when I was a kid."

"But after multiple years of practice and effort, I was able to strengthen my talent and develop it to where it is now."

Mokhtari, 50 said he hasn't found anything he can't balance, "Anything, I mean it, any object. Anything that has a surface I can stick to my body, such as plastic, glass, fruit, stone, wood and even a fully grown human."

Mokhtari believes the secret to his unique ability is being able to transfer energy from his body into the object.

"I can transfer this energy I have in me to them (the objects) as long as I can touch and feel them, I push myself then to focus as much as possible on the objects on my body, and that’s how I do it."

"I focus on whatever I am trying to stick to my body, making me capable of transferring my energy and power to them."

Mokhtari started his attempts to break this record last summer, but the weather proved to be a major obstacle to obtaining the record. The guidelines for this record stipulate that the spoons are required to remain balanced on the body for a certain time.

"Due to the humidity and hot weather, a few spoons slipped from my body as I reached the 80th mark." "I tried my best to keep my focus but the temperature of my body and sweat kept bringing me back to the starting point.

"I want the whole world to see my talent, I want to travel to other countries and showcase my gift. With this achievement and by breaking a Guinness World Records title, I am closer than ever to that goal."

"I feel so happy and proud right now, and I encourage everyone to keep chasing their dreams and never give up no matter what life throws their way."

The previous record for most spoons balanced on the body was 64, held by Marcos Ruiz Ceballos from Spain. Shunichi Kanno of Japan is able to place cans on his head and body and holds two records.
