Become a “Bubble Magician”! Amaze your friends and family with these four fun bubble tricks.
Magician’s advice: Be sure to practice them in advance.

The Disappearing Color

	Add a small amount of yellow and red poster paint or tempera paint to your bubble solution.
	Ask your audience what color the bubbles will be. They will probably guess “orange!”
	Now blow bubbles, and watch the multi-colored results. Magician’s advice: Have a white or light-colored wall behind you for best results.

Behind the magic: All bubbles are multi-colored because they reflect the light that hits them just like a prism. The thicker the bubble solution, the thicker the bubble wall and, therefore, the more intense the color.

Show your friends that you are a “pop predictor”!

1. Blow a bubble and watch the top of the bubble closely. When a black band begins to form on top of the bubble, announce that it is ready to pop! 2. Give another demonstration. Blow several bubbles, and tell your friends which bubble will pop first. Watch their amazement! Behind the magic: The bubble wall becomes thinner before it pops. Less light is being reflected, so a black band forms on top of the bubble right before it pops.
