1.      Combine water and detergent.  Stir well, but do not shake.
2.      For stronger bubbles, add ½ cup corn syrup or glycerin, or more
detergent.
3.Experiment with different brands of dishwashing detergent until you find
one that works best for you.    	
HINT: Playing with bubbles can be messy and slippery! Try blowing bubbles
outdoors, near the kitchen sink, or in the bathtub! Watch your step so you
don't fall on slippery spills.          	
Do you want bigger, better bubbles? Try these bubble tips: 
If you get a lot of small bubbles instead of one big one, you are probably
blowing too hard or you have the bubble wand too close to your mouth.	
Finish your bubble with a quick twist of your wrist to seal it.	
Prepare your bubble solution two to three days in advance. Save any extra
bubble solution to use later.	
Make sure your bubble maker and anything your bubble may touch is wet.	
Let the bubble maker sit in the bubble solution for a few seconds. Don't
slosh it around the solution - this creates suds and foam, which are bubble
busters!	
Look for cool humid days, shady areas. Avoid windy days! 	

Become a "Bubble Magician"! Amaze your friends and family with these four
fun bubble tricks.
Magician's advice: Be sure to practice them in advance. 
The Disappearing Color 
Add a small amount of yellow and red poster paint or tempera paint to your
bubble solution.	
Ask your audience what color the bubbles will be. They will probably guess
"orange!"	
Now blow bubbles, and watch the multi-colored results. Magician's advice:
Have a white or light-colored wall behind you for best results. 	

Behind the magic: All bubbles are multi-colored because they reflect the
light that hits them just like a prism. The thicker the bubble solution, the
thicker the bubble wall and, therefore, the more intense the color.
Show your friends that you are a "pop predictor"! 
1.      Blow a bubble and watch the top of the bubble closely. When a black
band begins to form on top of the bubble, announce that it is ready to pop!

2.      Give another demonstration. Blow several bubbles, and tell your
friends which bubble will pop first. Watch their amazement!	
Behind the magic: The bubble wall becomes thinner before it pops. Less light
is being reflected, so a black band forms on top of the bubble right before
it pops.
