VIDEO: Man smashes beer-carrying record!

With Munich's Oktoberfest just two weeks away, a German man has set a world record for carrying the most one-litre mugs of beer. This is one party trick most of us would like to have in our armoury!

German waiter, Oliver Struempfel carried  27 full one-litre beer mugs a distance of 40 metres on Sunday, beating the world record.

Struempfel transported the full traditional German mugs with no help of a tray.

Struempfel has worked at the Gillemoos beer festival in the Bavarian town of Abensberg for 17 years.

He said he needed to train at gym for a few months to build up enough strength for the challenge. 

With each mug weighing around 2kg, if you do the maths, that's a total weight of approximately 54kg!

If you take into account the precision and balance that's also required, it is a pretty impressive, and useful party trick!

Do you have a party trick that comes out at every braai or get-together? What is it?
