Newall’s friend Travis Mooney, from Wythenshawe, has stepped in to help him balance the objects, while also filming his feats for social media.

He said there could be nervy moments and recalled one incident when Newall was balancing a garden shed on his chin.

“We were in the middle of B&Q and I was just thinking if this shed goes, the whole shop will be in uproar,” Mooney said.

“But he absolutely smashed it and it was fine.”

He described the whole experience as “mental” and said he was “not surprised people think its AI”.

“It’s absolutely ridiculous but he does it,” he said. “It is unbelievable.”
