15-year-old Irishman Killian O'Connor managed to break the previous record for the number of tricks performed in one minute.

Thus, he won the title of record holder in the under-16 category – the Guinness Book of Records called him “the real Harry Potter”.

Killian's interest in magic began at the age of seven, when his uncle showed him one of the tricks.

But he really fell in love with the business after watching Issie Simpson on Britain's Got Talent in 2017.

At the time, Issy was only eight years old, but that didn't stop her from taking second place.

Inspired by Simpson, O'Connor also decided to take part in the show, and climbed to third place on the podium.

The boy was previously diagnosed with autism. The tricks helped Killian become more confident and develop social skills.

According to the record holder, magic helped him better understand people and make friends with the same interests, as well as travel to the most amazing places.
