Dan Magness breaks the official Guinness World Record for controlling a soccer ball for the longest time in London. He kept the ball in the air and broke the 24-hour barrier by touching the ball an estimated quarter of a million times.

An excited crowd, gathered in Covent Garden around the special cube built for the 25-year-old Englishman, cheered when the clock exceeded 19 hours and 30 minutes, the previous record set by Brazilian Martinho Eduardo Orige in 2003.
