Ever since the Guinness World Records was introduced in August of 1954, people have been coming up with all kinds of gimmicks to get their name in the book. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that there is a category for the fastest clapper in the world, an honor that has been held by Kent French, since 2003. Now it seems he may have finally met his match or should we say 'clap' in Bryan Bednarek.

In a recently posted video on YouTube, the young man systematically claps his way 802 times in just a minute, out smacking Kent by a whopping 81 times! While the folks at Guinness have not yet confirmed whether Bryan is indeed the world's fastest clapper, just watching him continue at his steady clip is almost hypnotizing - It is no wonder that he has garnered about half a million views since the video was posted on June 2nd!
