Profile
Learning his football tricks growing up in Guildford UK, Dan Magness has refined them and put together an amazing, unrivalled football freestyle display.
As a teenager, Dan was signed to Wimbledon FC and played until he was 16 when he decided to concentrate 100% on his football tricks. At the age of 17 Dan became the UK "Keepy Uppy" Champion after keeping a football up for an astounding 13.5 hours - that's over 110,000 touches!
The very next year Dan beat over a thousand other freestylers to win the UK Adidas Freestyle championship judged by England and Chelsea’s very own Joe Cole.
In May 2009 he smashed the Guinness world record for controlling a football, setting 24 hours as the new benchmark to beat.
He has performed hundreds of half time shows for football clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea, Man City and West Ham and is the regular half time entertainment for England U21 and England Women's games. In March 2007 Dan was the first ever entertainer to perform at the new Wembley Stadium as England took on Italy U21s!
As well as having taught his tricks to players such as Arjen Robben, Robbie Keane, Francesco Totti, Roberto Carlos, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Djibril Cisse and Freddie Ljungberg, Dan is a FA trained football coach and works regularly with the Youth Service, local Councils, Churches and Youth Groups.

Dan Magness officially the world keepy-uppy king
1 May 2009
Top football freestyler Dan Magness has today broken a very special Guinness World Record, smashing Martinho Eduardo Orige's 2003 standard of 19.5 hours for the longest time controlling a football. In a marathon session in London's Covent Garden running from 2pm on 30 April to 2pm on 1 May, staged in association with PlayStation® Freestylers, Dan wiped the floor with the Brazilian's efforts, setting an amazing 24 hours as the new benchmark for football freestylers worldwide to aspire to.
A huge "well done" to Dan, who'll probably have a whole chapter of the Guinness Book of Records devoted to himself at his current rate of record-breaking!
