Samsam The Bubbleman

Sam Heath has a very unusual profession - He is a 'Bubbleogist' - a professional soap bubble blower! However, these are not just any ordinary bubbles, but humongous works of art that have earned him three entries into the Guinness Book of World Records.

The 37-year old who goes by the name Samsam Bubbleman earned his latest accolade earlier this week, when using a rope attached between two sticks and his secret bubble solution, he created a 20ft by 5ft by 5ft shimmering piece of art at London's Finsbury Park. By doing so, he shattered a 2005 record set in Minnesota for the World's largest bubble.

His previous records involve placing the largest number of small bubbles inside one large bubble - 66 in all, and enclosing 50 school children into one big soap bubble (see video).

Sam's love affair with bubbles began in 1989, when a single floating bubble captured his imagination. He has spent the last 20 years trying to perfect his bubble solution. He now has a team of ten 'bubbleologists' who perform shows all over the world, often at the request of celebrities and royalty.

The 'Willy Wonka of Bubbles' says that it takes the right wind direction and of course, his secret bubble solution to hold his large creations together. While he will not reveal the special ingredients of his bubble solution, he will sell it and provide tutorials on creating giant bubbles on his website Bubbleinc.com. Check it out and see if you are able to emulate the great bubble maestro !
