Guinness Rules

You should also read the General Guinness Record Guidelines.

  1. This involves holding as many normal playing cards as possible in one hand without any aid.
  2. These must be in a fan in such way that the value and colour of each card is clearly visible on one side of the card.
  3. They must not be joined together by adhesive or anything similar.
  4. New sealed packs of cards should be used for this event.
