At the NYSEG Stadium in Binghamton on August 28, the professional strongman ripped 29 license plates in half in just one minute.

The car number plates used for the record were not cut or altered in any way. They were handed to Bill one at a time before he used his hands to tear them up into two pieces, according to Guinness World.

"The truth is when Guinness contacted me I really didn't want to do it. But with the charities and everything else I decided it would be a good thing to do," said Clark.

"I'm so honoured to be surrounded by such incredible people. To do something for Make-A-Wish, anytime you can help people out. When you're able to get to the top of the mountain in your field it's your responsibility to reach down and help people out," said Clark
