BWW Reviews: THE AMAZING BUBBLE MAN Creates a Magical World for Kids of All Ages


Bubble art, science, magic and fun were alive onstage the weekend of March 2-3 at the Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica when Louis Pearl, “The Amazing Bubble Man,” performed unbelievable acts of wonder for kids of all ages.
At the age of 19, Pearl spent his late nights perfecting his bubble-making hobby which he turned into a profitable toy business after leaving college. In his stage act, Pearl utilized many devices of his own invention and has thrilled audiences over 30 years with his performances before more than one million people, including royalty and celebrities in hundreds of cities across the U.S. and around the world. He is a favorite at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where he’s enjoyed six years of sold-out shows.
Pearl started his show asking everyone, “Who wants to float around in a magic bubble?” and I freely admit to raising my hand along with most of the other audience members. In addition to exploring the impressive dynamics of bubbles, his show combined comedy and artistry, with plenty of audience participation, especially from the many enthusiastic kids willing to run up onstage and be part of his act.
Bubble tricks performed included square bubbles, bubbles inside bubbles, fog-filled bubbles, giant bubbles, bubble volcanoes, tornadoes and trampolines, to kids inside bubbles, all of which generated shrieks of laughter and gasps of amazement from audience members of all ages.
Pearl also demonstrated that you can make bubbles using almost any object, even a $5 bill or an empty water bottle provided by audience members. An expert with improv, Pearl’s spunky sense of humor was especially evident when a woman in the front row was asked what made him so special. But watch out – anyone caught yawning during the show gets squirted in the face by a water gun, which Pearl finally turned on himself to the squeals of the audience.




Then grab the kids and be ready to become one yourself in a room filled with bubbles and wonder!
The Amazing Bubble Man. Starring Louis Pearl. At Edgemar Center for the Arts, 2437 Main St., Santa Monica, CA 90405. October 2013. Performances at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Tickets are $25 for Adults and $20 for Children.

This enables actors select the style that suits them best or create a combination of methods that will give their acting more gravitas and credibility.


Most acting schools in America are open to adults, teens and children who are divided into proper classes and taught accordingly. Each group has its own acting-related needs, and every actor is given individual attention until they have mastered the craft. For example, a child actor who has never been in front of the camera is inducted in fairy tales, fun plays and acting through songs and dances. For teen actors, there are seminars and group acting projects alongside regular classes to help them improve upon their finer skills like following camera instructions and acting cues. Mature actors, too, participate in workshops and review their performances on camera.

Every actor is different; there are no hard and fast rules that can teach anyone how to act, in the literal sense of the word. However, since each medium requires different styles of acting, actors must adapt to each medium. Different colleges for acting help aspirants learn the nuances of acting parameters like voice, movement, diction and behavior and others. Each student is monitored by acting teachers who guide the actor and also provide valuable feedback on the possible problem areas and how to rectify the errors. These tips become invaluable when you appear for auditions or have bagged a major role in a popular daily soap.
