One magical skydiving record

A charity skydive with a difference! With the help of the Go Skydive team in Wiltshire, 28-year old magician Martin Rees set a Guinness world record for most magic tricks performed whilst skydiving.

He performed the feat from Old Sarum airfield in October 2016.

The total dive took five minutes but after getting into position and opening the parachute he only had three and a half, hitting a velocity of 120 mph during the freefall phase.

The record was verified with the help of Go Pro footage taken from Martin's helmet and another skydiver.

Martin started working for a charity Spread a Smile for Gt Ormond st Hospital which inspired him to attempt the record.
