Bubblemania To Blow Carnegie Science Center Visitors Away

Nationally Recognized Show Features Thrilling Bubble Demos

PITTSBURGH — Traveling demonstration presenter Casey Carle is preparing to blow Carnegie Science Center visitors away with his hit show Bubblemania on Saturday, Oct. 2.

Bubblemania will take place at 11 am and 1 pm in the Science Stage. Each show lasts 30 minutes and features brilliant demonstrations on bubbles of all shapes and sizes. Using a special formula to create unusual bubbles—from bubbles that puff smoke when they pop to bubbles larger than a grown adult—Carle’s show teaches about the science behind bubbles, as well as mesmerizes and mystifies audiences of all ages. Bubblemania shows will be included with general admission.

Following each show, attendees will have the chance to add a Bubble Workshop for a small add-on fee: $3 for members and $5 for non-members. These workshops, aimed at kids ages 7 and up, will go into further detail about bubble science and allow participants to get hands-on with the special bubble solution Carle uses to thrill audience across the globe. The Bubble Workshops are open to people who have purchased general admission, and it is recommended that they attend the Bubblemania show prior to the workshop.

Workshop times are noon and 2 pm, each lasting approximately 40 minutes, and will take place in the Highmark SportsWorks® classrooms. Capacity is limited, and those interested should call to pre-register.

Videos and still images of Carle’s Bubblemania show are available on his website.
