Two Malaysian magic duos have been battling it out for the Guinness World Records title Most costume change illusions in one minute.
 
Min Chek Loo and Mark Yong Chuan Aun – aka “Vivas Magic” – first achieved the record in September with a breath-taking 16 costume illusion changes.
 
However, only weeks later the incredibly slick Avery Chin and Sylvia Lim bettered their record with an impressive 18 outfit swaps.
 
Now Vivas Magic have come back to reclaim their title with a mind-boggling new total of 20 costume change illusions.

The magical attempt took place at The Brandlaureate Awards 2015-16 at Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in front of an audience of over 1,000 people.
 
The strict rules for this challenge state that after every ‘reveal’ a completely different costume must be worn, and there can be no evidence of the previous outfit.
