Mr. Furman, a 63-year-old American from New York, will attempt to break the world record in several areas. Mr. Furman currently holds over 200 world records. During this year’s Impossibility Challenger, Mr. Furman will try to break the world record for catching the most marshmallows in his mouth in one minute using a catapult, extinguishing the most blow torches in one minute using his tongue and breaking the most pencils with his head in one minute.
The Impossibility Challenger was started in 1982 by peace activist, meditation teacher and weightlifter Sri Chinmoy as a way to allow non-Olympic individuals to achieve greatness by working on and mastering a personal goal or challenge that stretches their capabilities beyond what they thought was possible. The Sri Chinmoy Centers sponsor the Impossibility Challenger. The event allows people of any age, nationality, and area of expertise to try and break a record and achieve a new level of accomplishment.
Individuals have broken already-held world records, as well as beginning new records they invented. The event has been held in several locations since its beginning in Zurich, Switzerland. Locations have included Germany, New Zealand and Hungary.
