Nigerian magician Faddothegreat has officially set a new Guinness World Record after completing a 50-hour nonstop magic show in Lagos. The performance surpassed the previous record of 30 hours and 45 minutes held by UK magician Richard Smith.

The record attempt took place at Pop Landmark in Victoria Island, where the performer delivered continuous illusions, mind-reading segments, and stage routines. The event was monitored under strict Guinness World Record guidelines, including uninterrupted oversight by appointed witnesses.

Faddothegreat, a first-class Civil Engineering graduate, said the accomplishment was fueled by both passion and a desire to elevate Nigerian talent globally. “This was about proving Nigerian magic belongs on the world stage,” he said
