The Most Bubbles in a Bubble

Because there has to be a Guinness World Record for every possible thing, Chang Yu-Te blew an impressive 783 individual soap bubbles into the middle of one larger soap bubble before it eventually popped. This is one record to which we say, “DO try this at home” – just be sure to wipe down the floor with a towel afterward.

How to Cross a Canal

How to Cross a Canal

Bridges? We don’t need no stinkin’ bridges. We imagine that’s the thought going through Adrien Raza’s head when he sees the canal standing between him and the other side. Instead, he just gets out his skimboard and glides all the way across on the surface of the water.

Master of the Potato

Master of the Potato

We’re not sure who the chef is behind this video, but he’s got some serious knife skills. Our jaws dropped when we saw the amazing lattice that emerged after he made a series of partial cuts through a slice of potato. Sure, the video has been sped up, but his precision is still on point.

When you sing a song, there are usually lyrics written down somewhere. But we never thought that way about beatboxing until now. Vocal master verbalese takes notes on the mouth sounds he makes to help explain his process, and to document his tunes so they can be replicated. More beatboxing lyrics here and here.

Comedian Taylor aka Itzabennie possesses a unique talent. She can put her lips together and blow in just the right way to make them sound like exactly like a trumpet. After you enjoy some Benny Goodman, how about the Imperial March or La Vie en Rose?

Low-budget Drum Kit

Low-budget Drum Kit

If you look around, you can find a bargain-basement drum kit for about $200. But if even that’s not in your budget, you could do what Deden Noy did, and make your own drums from plastic buckets, water bottles, scrap metal, and packing tape. Check out his YouTube channel for more performances.

TikToker gazzahh’s loves to whistle while he works on tasks around the house. His wonderful rendition of If I Only Had a Brain from The Wizard of Oz will surely bring a smile to your face. We also enjoyed his versions of Dave Brubeck’s Take Five and Sweet Georgia Brown.
