When he's centered, he takes one last "mighty breath," lifts up, walks away, and the act begins. He takes a few "whiffs" to know he has the perfect spot. When the object is elevated, Evans steps underneath to find his desired balancing point. Whether Evans is lifting automobiles, machinery, or towers of stout, his process remains the same. An evolved version of the hat would later incorporate sponges and silk as Evans' finessed the design (and became fashion conscious). "It looked amazing!" For safety, Evans designed his own headbalancing cushion using a hat, a cut-up pullover collar, and gauze bandages. "I realized I could lift and balance 50 bricks, which I stacked quite tall," he recalls. He stuck with bricks at first, building an iron frame that he could carry bigger payloads with. It was only when Evans witnessed a strongman hold 24 bricks across his chest at a local fair did he realize his potential as a headbalancing showman. Then I went on to be a builder, so I packed that up altogether." I did this for about three or four years. And the art of running up and down ladders all day long. Before long, he was dropping off twice as many bricks as his coworkers. With a wooden board and a Herculean work ethic, Evans enacted the dangerous plan with unexpected ease. "I had this idea of balancing bricks on my head so I could roll out with about 24 bricks on me head quite quickly," he recalls. The quicker he hauled the loads, the more money he would make.
The piecework job saw Evans delivering bricks to the builders. That big stack of pints of beer, you can see me moving my head and neck to keep them up."īefore Evans started stacking beer on his head, he exercised his bones as a laborer for a construction company.

However, the main series finished in 1998 and the 2015 game King's Quest was a reboot/reimagination rather than a continuation of the series." "Likewise, King Graham from the King's Quest series has appeared in games from between 19. The record does not include direct remakes or ports released years later, and the series must have been commercially available and running over the aforementioned period." "The Leisure Suit Larry series has been running longer than Broken Sword, but the game's protagonist has not stayed the same throughout each game," Bielfeld added.
"The games must be in the same series and not a reboot.
The "Longest running graphic adventure protagonist" is calculated by time between the first and last graphic adventure videogames to star the same protagonist(s)," Guinness World Records' Madalyn Bielfeld told WIRED.
