17th century Flemish paintings show children blowing bubbles with clay pipes. This means that bubbles as playthings are at least 400 years old . A Chicago company called Chemtoy began selling bubble solution in the 1940s, and they have captivated children ever since. According to one industry estimate, retailers sell around 200 million bottles annually, perhaps more than any other toy.

Despite the fact that soap bubbles have been with us for hundreds of years, they are still a relatively new effect in the theatre.
This is a fact that the inventive designer will use to his advantage. Remember that novelty is one of the things that makes a special effect special;
the less an audience has seen an effect, the larger an effect it will have.

Our bubble zone can allow the kids to use our Jumbo bubble wands to make their own make giant bubbles.

We are Bubbles Masters and you will find us to be experts on bubbles. We know the creator and are friends with Brian Glover the inventor of the modern bubble machine. Once there was just one bubble machine on the market, the Altman lighting company bubble machine. The Lawrence Welk Show used 16 of these machines. Brian devolved the modern day machine with uses internal fans and a calculated wind wave within the machine to produce more bubbles than ever seen before his Bubble machine prototype

Bubble machines use a thick glycerin-based soap solution (bubble juice) and a series of plastic wands to generate hundreds of floating soap bubbles. There is no advanced technology behind the bubble production--their's different wands configuration and different fan power and wind tunnel lengths, but the machines are mechanically dipped into the soapy solution and bubbles are formed in the open air. A small electric fan may encourage bubbles to move away from the machine, but that's as high tech as it gets. But the pro models use the fan output to increase the amount of bubbles produced. Also the bubble wands are made in many fifferent designs, while the cheaper bubble machines haveless design and performance.

Bubble machines have been available for decades, primarily as special effects for show bands or attention-seeking shop owners. Perhaps the most famous use of bubble machines occurred weekly on the American television program The Lawrence Welk Show. Welk's sophisticated arrangements of popular hit songs was often called 'Champagne music', so Lawrence Welk used his bubble machines to suggest the bubbles found in champagne coming alive on stage.

Bubble event with bubble machines

Bubble Machines have made a tremendous comeback over the past several years.

bubbles at an event

A soapy bubble can exist because the surface layer of a liquid (usually water) has a certain surface tension, which causes the layer to behave somewhat like an elastic sheet. However, a bubble made with a pure liquid alone is not stable and a dissolved surfactant such as soap is needed to stabilize a bubble. A common misconception is that soap increases the water's surface tension, soap actually does the opposite, decreasing it to approximately one third the surface tension of pure water. Soap does not strengthen bubbles, it stabilizes them, via an action known as the Marangoni effect. As the soap film stretches, the surface concentration of soap decreases, which in turn causes the surface tension to increase. So soap selectively strengthens the weakest parts of the bubble and tends to prevent them from stretching further. In addition, the soap reduces evaporation so the bubbles last longer, although this effect is relatively small.

Methods to use

Using a bubble machine to create various theatrical effects is a great way to add a sense of magic and beauty to any performance.Just as there are different kinds of bubble machines, there are also different kinds of bubble machine fluids. You may want to experiment with some before your performance.

Place your bubble machine close to the ceiling when you want your bubbles to look like they are falling magically out of the air. Even though the built-in fan shoots them out fairly fast, having your machine up high allows them to cascade gently down from above.

Direct the output of a small sized fog machine towards the intake fan of your bubble machine to create a bubble storm of smoke-filled bubbles. This makes your bubbles more visible for your audience, plus after a while they burst into little clouds of fog, which is another interesting effect. Set the fog input low so you don't have a cloud of fog and your bubbles disappear.

Use a strobe light with a cloud of cascading bubbles. This produces a dramatic, mesmerizing effect for dream sequences in plays and musicals, rock performances, nightclub acts or any other kind of show that would require this kind of effect.

Bubbles Effects are being used in many play productions
