Monday, August 10, 2009
Samsam Bubbleman, 37, a professional bubble-maker, created a giant soap bubble, which stretched to 20 feet by 5 feet by 5 feet at its largest-setting the new world record for the Largest free-floating soap bubble
amsam Bubbleman created the Largest free-floating soap bubble using a secret formula he developed during the past 20 years. He refused to reveal the recipe for his bubble mixture, saying it is the secret to his success.
To make this enormous orb he used just a piece of rope attached between two sticks.
"It's all about having the right bubble solution," the self-described "bubbleologist" said. "If you have the right mixture, then your tools don't matter."
Samsam Bubbleman, 37, is a professional bubble-maker who has performed for the Dubai royal family and numerous celebrities,
"Being a bubbleologist is almost as much about being a wind catcher as it is a bubble maker. You become quite sensitive to changes in direction and you have to move at the right time to keep the bubble together."
Samsam Bubbleman's real name is Sam Heath.
Samsam first started his love affair with bubbles in 1989 and now earns a living doing what he loves best.
"It all started with just a single bubble-he said. I was sitting in a field and a bubble just floated past. I took the word away from the object and just looked at it for what it was. I captured my imagination and I just thought what an amazing thing that was."
"It's like one of those anomalies of nature that just shouldn't exist. Like a bumblebee being too big for its wings."
He eventually formed company Bubbleinc and now sells mixtures, equipment and performs shows for big name audiences.
Over the years he and his team of 10 bubbleologists have performed bubble shows for the Dubai Royal family. Stars like Paul McCartney and Peter Gabriel have also brought him in for private shows.
This new world record for the Largest free-floating soap bubble replace the previous Guinness World Record holder, a 105.4-square-foot bubble created in Minnesota in 2005.
