797: Meadow Perry - Bubblicious

When magicians think of variety acts, usually jugglers and ventriloquists come to mind. But there are a few out there who do a very unique thing: bubble magic. Meadow Perry has been professionally performing a bubble act for at least couple years appearing at magic conventions, Renaissance festivals, corporate meetings and even on television’s “Masters of Illusion.” We all stand on the shoulders of giants as we move our art forward and Meadow tells us how she took various ideas from other bubble artists to create her own niche.

In this week’s episode, Meadow tells us about the problem of working a bubble act both indoors and outdoors. She also talks about sharing her skill along with Carisa Hendrix online at “Bubble U” (University). We talk about the science and history of bubble acts and who the few are who still perform bubble acts in the world today.
