His repertoire of tricks include a bubble carousel, smoking bubbles, bubbles within bubbles, and more. Yang has been demonstrating bubble art with his family since childhood. Throughout his career, he has earned international acclaim and the Guinness World Record for producing the largest bubble ever, measuring over 170 feet.
