Bubble Blowing has evolved to be a favorite pastime to the young and old alike. As far back as 1733, Families who had no other means for toys were able to fashion a wand with wire and soap. The earliest bubble blowers were wands and pipes. . Bubble vintage sets were sold with a pipe a bar of soap and a dish. These appeared round the 1940's. Automated Bubble blowers have been around since the 1950's. The Howdy Doody show was the first character to be on a bubble blower

 It is as simple as taking pipe cleaners and making them into a circle shape.  Twist two together to make a handle.  You can even use the wire form a clothes hanger.  You don't even have to take it apart.  Just stretch the hanger part a little wider to make a giant bubble wand.  Craft wire can also be used and is a little more pliable than the hanger wire! 

There have been some record breaking bubble blowing. In 2005 a mann according to the Guinness World Book of Records blew the largest bubble ever. It was 2.98 cubic meters) in size. If the bubble were filled with water, it would hold 788 gallons and weigh 3.2 tons. To give you another idea of its size, 13,627 baseballs would fit inside of it.

 In New Zealand the longest Bubble ever was blown at 105-feet.  this is also recorded  in 1996e  Guinness Book of World Records

 the Guinness World Record for most people inside a single bubble when he enclosed 19 boys and girls over 5 feet tall inside a giant bubble at Chessington World of Adventures outside London in Surrey, UK.

 Bubble Blowing has taken to new heights with the invention of all sorts of bubble machines. They have bubble machines that make big bubbles, small bubbles and bubbles in bubbles.  It i one of America's favorite pastimes and is around my house.  Battery operated bubble machines even come in your favorite character.

There is actually a magic show featuring Gazillion Bubbles magicians. This show has ben featured on David Letter man and the Oprah Show. It is based in New York and has shows in Korea. The Bubble artists are featured in this website and are able t host a show lasting 85 minute with no intermission.  The above video is from a separate show.   I thought the Gazillion Bubbles clip was too commercial.  If you watch the video above they show some neat tricks with light and smoke
