In this video, John Evans, of Derbyshire England, balances a gutted 352-pound Mini Cooper on his head for 33 seconds for a new Guinness World Record.
John learned the trick of balancing things on his head when he worked as a bricklayer at 18. He needed to find a way to carry bricks up a ladder continuously so he devised a way of balancing them on his head.
“I don’t know why I can do it and other people can’t but I’ve been doing it nearly every day for years.
“It never gives me a headache – although sometimes I do get a bit of a stiff neck.”

John Evans holds the Guinness World Record for the balancing the heaviest car on one’s head. How did he discover that he has this talent? It started while he was working as a bricklayer. He discovered that he could do his work faster if he carried bricks on his head, thus leaving both hands free.
Evans is enormously strong and has put that ability to work as an entertainer and strongman. Over the course of his career, Evans has balanced on his head a 357-pound car, 275 full pints of beer and a girl inside a flaming oil drum.
