Another eye-popper

A Brazilian man is hoping for a place in the record books for his ability to pop his eyes out of their sockets.

Claudio Pinto, 48 is making a living out of shows where he pops his eyes out, Terra Noticias Populares reports.

He reckons he can pop both eyes 95% out of their sockets.

Mr Pinto has undergone various tests and doctors say they have never seen or heard of a person who can pop the eyes as much as him.

Mr Pinto, from Belo Horizonte, said: "It is a pretty easy way to make money.

"I can pop my eyes out four centimetres each, it is a gift from God, I feel blessed."
