Sam Heath blows up a lot.
As in he blows up a lot of bubbles. And now the British man hopes that one of his biggest ones will be something to get puffed up about.
Heath, 37, created what he thinks was the world’s largest free-floating soap bubble. The self-proclaimed “bubbleologist,” who goes by the stage name Samsam Bubbleman, formed the shimmering monster recently at Finsbury Park in London. He used two sticks, a rope and a top-secret bubble formula.
The Bubbleman said he isn’t sure of the precise volume of his creation, but that it stretched 20 feet by 5 feet by 5 feet at its biggest.
Talk about soap on a rope.
Heath hopes the folks at Guinness World Records won’t burst his bubble. He wants to pop the record set in 2005 in Minnesota: a bubble of 105.4 cubic feet.
He said he developed his bubble mixture over 20 years of trial and error — but that’s all suds under the bridge now.
