Many people have attempted to set new benchmarks in the performing art of magic - some have even set astonishing records. Eldon D. Wigton, also known as Dr. Eldoonie, became the world's fastest magician when he performed 225 different tricks in two minutes in 1991. In 2002, Dominic O' Brien memorised, with a single sighting, a random sequence of 54 separate packs of cards (2808 cards in all) that had been shuffled together, with only eight mistakes, breaking his own Guinness World Record of the Longest Memorised Card Sequence.
