John sets a new world record in Israel...

John was invited to Israel on the 11th August for a week where he was on two TV shows and set a new world record for balancing 275 glasses of beer on his head for over ten seconds.

Brands Hatch World Record Success...

John Was appearing at Bishop Stortford Carnival on the 16th June 2012 where I broke one of my existing world records balancing 11 tyres for 13 seconds on his head hands free on the morning show and the afternoon show.

I moved down the road later to Brands Hatch where I did another event on the 17th June. I repeated the new record both shows had an amazing turn out of people TV camera's where at both events and of course the news paper media. I will be claiming the record at Brands Hatch just because it sounds better.

John appearing at the N.E.C Birmingham Event

John Evans does it again!!! John successfully headbalanced a 70kg washing machine for 23 minutes and 7 seconds within an a 1 hour time frame. John completed this record at the "Martial Arts Live Show" at the N.E.C Birmingham.

The website giants "Appliances On Line" donated a machine, which will be raffled off at the charity shop in Ilkeston for the "Debra Charity" which benefits children with bad skin complaints.

Asia loves John and John loves Asia

When the top TV show in Korea wanted a specialist act they chose John Evans from Derbyshire.

With all the people who balance things on their head in China when they want the best they sent for John Evans 43 times Record Holders Republic world record holder for head balancing.

They was not wrong John Evans broke two world records first the show had Korea s best head balancer come on the show who balanced just 10 trays with 40 rice bowls on the trays. John went on and done a modest 15 trays and 60 rice bowls.

After returning, John had this to say.

"I started by lifting the presenter of the show on my head. Then I performed my existing world record by balancing 237 pints of beer to great applause. I lifted 60 bowls of rice on 15 trays and that was three times more than a Korean waitress, who held the record in the country."

"Then I lifted 12 tables on my head and also raised a 130-kilo American fridge freezer, a very difficult feat for which I had to call up all my strength, skill and concentration. When I began to think about it, I thought how unusual it was for them to invite me over from Britain. You see thousands of people carrying things on their heads in Asia. It seems second nature to them. In the market, in the streets, so many people do it and yet they came to Derbyshire to get me to perform it on their show.

"The programme is called Star King and that is how they made me feel. They had written a script of my life story and built the one-hour programme around that. They even mentioned my ambition to lift a box full of cash to promote a credit card company. They kept referring to me as an elder because in those countries they have a great respect for the older generation."

"And they asked me to give a speech to encourage people to conquer their disabilities and that was something I was proud to do. They kept saying how impressed they were because I have diabetes and sight in only one eye. They told me the show will be broadcast across Asia and also across Latin America before going on Youtube. Millions will see it and I hope they enjoy it as well as gaining a little inspiration from my story. The people of South Korea could not have been more kind. It made me proud to represent Britain on a world stage."

Happy 65th Birthday John...
