Tom Noddy - Bubble Magic Tom Noddy spent over a decade developing a new kind of performance piece. Sitting alone with dime store bubble solution, a childlike sense of wonder and an adult sense of humor he brought a new thing into being: Bubble Magic. After three appearances on America's The Tonight Show, Tom was featured on the 'Best of the Year' Tonight Show segment. In his 30-plus year career as America's Bubble Guy, he has appeared numerous times on prime time, daytime and late night television shows as well as nightclubs and universities. Tom's work has been presented to 900 mathematicians at the International Congress of Mathematics in Berlin, Germany. He's been the featured performer for science centers' Bubble Festivals attracting up to 17,000 people in a single weekend. He is as comfortable performing for pre-schoolers as he is when entertaining audiences in the Variete theatres of Germany, the Paris Opera, Le Casino nightclub in Monte Carlo, corporate parties, trade shows, or television programs in over 50 countries. Tom has taken his uniquely warm charm and intellectual interest in soap bubbles to audiences around the world. The bubbles are truly exquisite and Tom's lively humor and engaging sense of fun leave his audiences both delighted and intrigued. Treat yourself and spend an evening with Tom Noddy learning the ins and outs of this magical lost art.

Hello all,
This is a reminder that legendary Bubble Master Tom Noddy is coming to spend time with us in a few weeks to teach us about his unique art form. I recently spoke with Tom and he's excited to come spend time with everyone and promises to share his passions and thoughts about Bubbles so that you might take a bit of his theories and techinques and add them to your own repertoire. Like in previous times, in order to help you prepare and build excitement for Mr. Noddy's arrival, I've personally selected a handful of Tom Noddy performance youtube clips for you to watch and enjoy. (Thanks to Glenn for jump-starting this!) - - - - - - - - - - - Tom Noddy on the Paul Daniels Show Tom Noddy on the David Letterman Show Tom Noddy on the Carson Show - - - - - - - - - - - Tom will put his tools in your hands and show you how to create bubble magic like a master. It's going to be a wonderful experience for all who attend. Make plans to be there. Again, please take a few moments to watch the videos above and spread the word to anyone who would be interested in spending quality time with one of the most unique performance artists living today. Enjoy Tom Noddy. Lee Asher ps. on a personal note, Tom Noddy is one of my childhood heroes. His bubble magic left an indelible impression on me and everyone else in the audience that day in 1981. I'll never forget it... . . .

Saw Tom in Edmonton last week. The lecture was, unfortunately, not well attended.
But I must say that Tom is a very cool guy with a great act and I very much enjoyed every minute of the lecture as well as some time spent hanging together after. If you get the chance, definitely go see Tom. John

He was great on the Paul Daniels show decades ago. I see he's still smoking. Its a shame but its such a part of the act. Unfortunate for his once great act that now smoking is less desirable to onlookers. Eugene Burger felt the need to substitute a different substance for ashes in his excellent presentation for Ashes On The Palm for this very reason. Nonetheless, mucho respecto for Tom Noddy's wonderful act that has taken him around the world.

"Despite the fact that his early habit led to national and international attention, Tom Noddy long ago quit smoking tobacco. For his show he began to use ginseng cigarettes so he could still highlight some of the bubbles. But these substitute cigarettes (sold at pharmacies to stage actors and people transitioning away from tobacco) still present the picture of a man smoking a cigarette. He experimented for years with various devices to replace the ginseng and now he's satisfied that he can offer his show with an alternative ... a small fog machine can provide the needed visuals. Tom still does the bubble blowing, the device gives him a small portable container full of fog that he can then blow into the bubbles when needed. Tiny but using the same fuel as other stage foggers this device uses a glycol-based liquid that's approved in other uses as a food additive. Battery power and a small heating coil produce a vapor that's safe to breathe. With the small container Tom blows in and the fog comes out; no inhaling, no cigarettes, no smoke ... just beautiful bubbles." Hope that sheds more light on what Tom does. If you're thinking of booking him for a lecture or convention, DO NOT HESITATE!!! He is wonderful. Asher . . .
