In under one minute, a Minnesota woman smashed the Guinness World Record by skillfully balancing thirty swords on her body.

According to Edina resident Erin Hunter, she began studying Middle Eastern dance in 2004 and gradually included the ability to balance one or two swords on her body into her belly dance acts.

Hunter claimed that although though her record attempt removed the obstacle of having to dance simultaneously, it still presented some challenges.

She told Guinness World Records, “Balancing 30 swords was more difficult than I originally thought,” added, “Certain muscles need to stay relaxed so as not to bump the swords and increase their likelihood of slipping.”

Hunter claimed that in order to hone her skills, she worked out for 15 to 30 minutes every session several times a week. She eventually achieved the Guinness World Records title after managing to balance 30 swords in the given minute.

“It was an incredible feeling! I perform in the company of other record holders and wanted to ‘join the club,’ as it were,” Hunter said. “It still feels a little surreal to know I’ve broken a Guinness World Records title.”
