A nine-year-old boy smashed a world record by hanging 16 pieces of spoons on his face, media reported Saturday.
Joe Allison, from Totnes, Devon, beat the previous record of 15 spoons set by a 16-year-old in the United States in May 2004.
He could balance 16 spoons on his face -- five from his forehead, one from his nose, two from his chin, three from each cheek and one from each ear.
But he admitted he didn't know what's behind his amazing talent.
"They just stick on," he said.
"It's something I can do easily and I know I'll make 17 one day, but I'll probably have to wait until I grow a bit so there's some more space on my forehead," said the schoolboy.
Joe discovered his talent two years ago when his cousin challenged him to balance a spoon on his nose.
His mother Fenella, 42, a swimming teacher, said: "I'm really, really proud of him because he can do something that no one else in the world can do.
The little boy is to appear on the talent TV show Britain's Got Talent, where he will hang the spoons from his face and do a little jig.
Officials are now double-checking footage of Joe's record attempt before entering him into the Guinness Book of World Records.
