World's largest soap bubble made in London

LONDON, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A 'bubbleologist" has created what he says is the world's largest free-floating soap bubble in a London park.

Samsam Bubbleman, 37, a professional bubble-maker who has performed for the Dubai royal family and numerous celebrities, said he created the giant bubble, which stretched to 20 feet by 5 feet by 5 feet at its largest, using a secret formula he developed during the past 20 years, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

"It's all about having the right bubble solution," the self-described "bubbleologist" said. "If you have the right mixture, then your tools don't matter."

Bubbleman said he believes his bubble will replace the current Guinness World Record holder, a 105.4-square-foot bubble created in Minnesota in 2005.

"I'm confident it has obliterated the former record," he said. "This one dwarfs the American effort."
