Aaron Bonk, 42, is no stranger to spectacular performances.

After all, it’s pretty much his stock-in-trade as he has juggled everything from flaming whips to chainsaws. And it’s not just for show because the Florida-based performer has already managed to break several Guinness World Records.

Some of his records include ‘Most Fire Whip Crack Juggling Catches in 60 seconds’ at 82 cracks and ‘Most Fire Whip Cracks in a Full Body Burn in 30 Seconds’ with 92 cracks.

Aaron said: “Whip juggling while also cracking the whips is extremely difficult.

“I had to invent my own technique for this pattern to achieve my success with this skill. Then, lighting them on fire reaches a whole new level of difficulty and also adds an extreme element of danger.

“The huge amount of flames from the whips is scalding hot and I have endured countless minor burns to my hands and arms while training for the stunts.”

One of Aaron’s most dangerous stunts was the ‘Full-Body Burn’ which, as the name implies, carries the danger of having one’s whole body engulfed in flames.

Aaron said: “The Full-Body Burn was the most dangerous stunt I’ve ever done. The whip cracking is difficult, but it is intensely hard to focus on when one is completely engulfed in flames.

“There was a special technique I employed for breathing during the stunt which, if done wrong, could have resulted in breathing fire straight into my lungs.

“Not only are the external flames a constant threat, but the heat from the fire caused the sweat from my body to turn to steam, which burned my skin under my clothes.

“Most of my body was covered in about six bulky layers of clothing, which made it challenging to maintain a proper technique for cracking the whips.”

But regardless of the risks, it’s all in a day’s work for the daredevil entertainer.

Aaron said: “It is an exhilarating rush of pride and adrenaline each time I set a new record or succeed at another crazy stunt.

“The feeling that I’ve done something no one else has done or that I am the best in the world at something, especially after training and working so hard to achieve it, is the most seriously ridiculous high, full of joy and validation.

“I absolutely love what I do. My favorite thing in the world is to spread joy and inspiration to others and the fact that I can do that while pushing myself to greater accomplishment is what I live for.”
