Auldin Maxwell, 12, became a record-holder earlier this year when he stacked 638 Jenga blocks on the base of a single block and has now exceeded the record by stacking 1,400.

Maxwell, from Canada, explained that strategy was key to helping him break the record.

He said: "I made my 1,400 one fatter because there are 40 layers on it.

"The shorter one’s [a] little easier and more stable."

Maxwell previously explained that it took him a lot of practice as he looked for the perfect stacking technique when he broke the record initially in January.

He said: "I created different types of patterns on the ground I could make, and then I tested it out and I will see which ones work and which ones can hold the most on stuff."
