A Brazilian man is going after a unique world record - he's trying to break the record for the furthest a person can pop their eyeballs out of their head.

Claudio Paulo Pinto can pop his eyeballs out of their sockets at least 7 millimeters. A former truck driver, Pinto had been working at a haunted house, but was recently laid off. He says performing his trick doesn't hut at all.

The world record is currently held by Kim Goodman of Chicago, who achieved 11 millimeters.

The eye popping ability is called "globe luxation". Doctors say it doesn't cause lasting damage, although it can strain the blood and nerves in between the eyes.
