Do you like... magic? 🪄
A talented young magician plunged head first into a new hobby, that of magic tricks of course - and ended up breaking a record for the most magic tricks underwater in three minutes!
Avery Emerson Fisher (USA) is a 13-year-old girl who loves scuba diving as much as she loves magic and, by combining the two, she did an incredible 38 tricks in that short amount of time.
She blew the previous record of 20, set by professional magician Martin Rees (UK) in 2020, completely out of the water (get it? 😆).
But how did she even come up with the idea?
It all started during lockdown, when her dad Jon asked the then-10-year-old Avery how she wanted to spend the quarantine...
Since she had always loved visiting her local aquarium, she thought it might be fun to learn how to scuba dive. 🤿
So, she began studying and aced all her online exams. Then, she started training and earned her open water diver certificate during the summer...
Since then, Avery has earned 12 more certificates and gone on more than 30 ocean dives. 🤓
She really is unstoppable!
Avery is truly passionate about the ocean and its preservation and hopes to raise awareness of the issues while inspiring others to give scuba diving a go.
Would you try scuba diving and go explore the ocean? 🧜🏽♀️
Combining her new-found passion for scuba diving with her love of magic, Avery decided to attempt a record and show the entire world her super skills.
Her attempt took place inside the tunnel aquarium, with temperatures as low as 58 °F (14 °C) and schools of fish swimming around her, just like a real-life mermaid. 🥹
Of course, her family and friends were all there to cheer her on, watching from the tunnel as Avery worked her way through as many magic tricks as she could in three minutes!
She had prepared a total of 50 tricks, and she successfully executed 38 of them!
And, despite the cold, Avery felt so at home in the tank that she named the fish swimming around her during her practice sessions, including one she named Zeeto, who was always by her side! 🐠

Avery trained for months for her record attempt, testing her underwater magic skills in many different bodies of water. 🤔
She even earned a Scuba Magician certificate from Chef Anton, the creator of Scuba Magician, a PADI Distinctive Specialty! 🎩🪄
In fact, Avery is the world’s youngest Scuba Magician.
Would you ever consider becoming a Scuba Magician?
Congratulations, Avery. You are Officially Amazing! 🎉
