On Friday July 3rd, Binghamton resident and Guinness Book of World Records holder Bill Clark, will attempt to break another world record. He currently holds an incredible 75 world records!

He’s most notably known for bending 10-inch railroad spikes, ripping aluminum license plates, and tearing decks of playing cards. Here is Bill breaking a license plate record.

For his next record breaking attempt, he’ll be looking to tear the most decks of playing cards in half in one minute. His attempt will happen immediately following the completion of the Rumble Ponies game on Friday night.

Bill is a local legend who is a World Champion Athlete, Martial Artist, Guinness World Record Title Holder, Motivational Speaker, Professional Strongman, and an adjunct lecturer at Binghamton University.

He also taught at Chenango Valley High School and all three of my kids would agree with the local legend title. He has had a positive impact on my kids, Devon, Riley and Tara, and still likes to hear updates on what they are currently doing.

By the way, my son Devon holds two world records. One unofficial for the longest wiffle ball game that he and his cousin Dominick and a bunch of students from OFA accomplished 10 years ago this June. That was something to witness.

The 2nd is an official Guinness Book of World Records for the longest conga line on ice and was set in 2017 while Devon was a student at SUNY Oswego, during Al Roker’s visit for Rokerthon.
