5. The man who can get kicked in the crotch without injuring himself
Yong Hsueh, a Shaolin monk, appeared on the Chinese version of Britain’s Got Talent to demonstrate his ability to get kicked in the crotch without suffering injury. He told the audience: “Steel crotch Kongfu is an ancient art, with roots stretching back to ancient China. “It’s a practice to strengthen and protect the male genital organs so there is less chance they are injured or incapacitated in battle.”
Cross legged male members of the audience watched in shock as various members of the panel were invited to boot the monk – who simply bowed and smiled after each blow – between the legs. The monk said this skill could only be learned by a student that started in childhood – and it involves pushing the testicles into the body where they could not be hurt.
Garry Turner (UK), better known as the Stretchy Skin Man, is able to stretch the skin of his stomach to a distended length of 15.8 cm (6.25 in) due to a rare medical condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a disorder of the connective tissues affecting the skin, ligaments and internal organs.
3. The man who can burp at 110 decibels
Everyone has their own particular talent. For Paul Hunn, it’s the ability to belch at 110 decibels. He achieved the Guinness World record for the loudest burp on the set of The New Paul O’Grady Show, London, UK, on 24 September 2008.
2. The contortionist who can squeeze through the head of a tennis racquet
Captain Frodo is a very disconcerting figure. It could be his semi-naked and very white body, bulging eyes, tattooed back, or perhaps the 2in black pegs skewered through his nipples that do it. Or maybe it is the small fact that he is currently squeezing his body through a 10in diameter tennis racquet – strings removed. Oh yes, and to speed things along a bit, he’s now dislocating one joint after another, leaving spaces where shoulders should be and white limbs flopping and flapping in all the wrong places like a rag doll gone wrong. He’s a contortionist in La Clique, a circus that also features juggling, sword-swallowing, strong men acts, acrobatics – indeed, pretty much everything but the bearded lady.
1. The man who can pull a minivan using his eyelids
Next time your car needs a tow but it turns out you haven’t got the right equipment, talk to this man. Stuntman Xie Zhongcai in Hefei, China’s eastern Anhui Province, has another idea that fits the job. Just tie the car to your ear and head off. And if that seems like it might sting just a little, how about his next trick.
If the locals in Heping Square were left with their mouths open after his first stunt, they couldn’t believe their eyes the second time – since the stuntman hooked up the minivan to his eye sockets!
