He performed nonstop for 50 hours.
The feat broke the previous record of 30 hours and 45 minutes, held by UK magician Richard Smith since 2004.

Reacting to the achievement, he said the record was meant to highlight the growth of magic in Africa.
“This record is more than a personal milestone; it is a statement for the Nigerian magic industry,” he said.
FaddotheGreat is a First Class Civil Engineering graduate of Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State, and is known for creating some of his own illusion props.
