You've heard of being twinkle-toed - how about being twinkle-handed like Chang Yu-Te as he bounces a soap bubble on his hand... pic.twitter.com/LdHwOs67RG— GuinnessWorldRecords (@GWR) October 22, 2020

Oct. 22 (UPI) -- A Taiwan student broke a Guinness World Record when he was able to bounce a soap bubble 290 times on his hand before it popped.

Chang Yu-Te of Taoyuan said he became interested in bubble performance after seeing a video online of someone else attempting the record, and he started to practice for his own attempt.

Guinness tweeted a video showing Chang's official attempt.

He was able to complete 290 bounces with a single bubble, enough to capture the record.
