Ferguson beat the Guinness World Record by such a margin with 54 rolls simultaneously per hand that Paul Kieve and Guinness World Record offices in the UK held off accepting it until there was a more standardized and established record.

In 2011 and 2012, h set 14 world records in various card and coin agility and speed tests.
