- Place some bubble solution into a saucer. Have a glass of water nearby.
- Place the end of a drinking straw into the solution, and blow a big bubble.
- Now brag to your friends that you can stick your straw into the bubble without popping it! Magician’s secret: While you are talking, dip your straw in the water, without letting your friends see!
- Carefully poke your wet straw into the center of the bubble. It won’t pop!
- Now ask for a friend to try the magic. Blow another big bubble, but give your friend a dry straw. The bubble will break immediately!
Behind the magic: The straw must be wet. Dry objects pop bubbles!
