Hey everyone,
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here on the blog – life has been a whirlwind of rehearsals, performances, and that unbeatable rush of leaving audiences speechless. If you’ve been wondering why things have been quieter on the hypnosis side, there’s a simple explanation: for the past couple of years, I’ve been channeling almost all of my creative energy into my magic and mentalism show as the World Record Magician.
That’s right – the chainsaws, the upside-down illusions, the mind-reading that makes people question reality, and the non-stop comedy stunts have taken center stage (literally!). I’ve updated everything over at my dedicated site, www.worldrecordmagician.com, where you can see the full evolution of the show, watch highlights, read testimonials, and even get in touch if you’re looking for entertainment that your guests will be talking about for years.
Just this year, Guinness World Records featured me in an in-depth article about my journey – from my very first magic obsession at age three (thanks to a preschool magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat and streamers from his mouth!) to breaking over 20 Guinness World Records titles (current and former) in magic, juggling, and daredevil stunts.
Some of the recent highlights they covered include:
- Most magic tricks performed in one minute: 52 tricks (set in May 2024)
- Most magic tricks performed whilst suspended upside down in one minute: 19 mind-blowing illusions while hanging inverted
- Most consecutive chainsaw juggling catches: 105 (plus plenty of other chainsaw-related records that keep the adrenaline pumping)
- Most consecutive under-leg chainsaw juggling catches, precision crossbow shots bursting balloons blindfolded and backwards… you get the idea – it’s delightfully dangerous!
Guinness recentluy piublished an article on what sparked my record-breaking obsession, and how skills I started developing as a kid, and what I’ll do next.

I’m still hypnotizing people. Over 50 hypnosis shows per year. So this makes me one of the busiest hypnotiosts in Canada. I still love hypnosis and will continue doing it. The hypnosis show is a well oiled machine. I have the experience to deliver a great hypnosis show anytime. But, I was able to add the new skills to my new show and am having soi much fun doing it.
So if you’re looking for world-class, clean, family-friendly entertainment packed with jaw-dropping illusions, mentalism that reads your mind, and just the right amount of edge-of-your-seat danger – head over to www.worldrecordmagician.com and let’s make some magic happen at your next event!
And of course, I’m still doing great hypnosis shows (even if I’m not talkiing about them much).
Stay magical,
Ian Stewart World Record Magician
