The Captive Bubble Barrel Trick
Two wire wings with handles are bent around a bottle and tied. Wet with soapsuds, a friend blows a large bubble between the wings until it bridges them. The bubble is supported, can be stretched into a barrel shape, then turned on its side while maintaining the form. A small tube is inserted to blow another bubble and dislodge.
The Double Bubble Trick Explained in a Barrel
The Brooklyn Eagle explains a bubble inside a soaped barrel does not touch the sides. By tapping the tube, the bubble sinks to the bilge and, when one wing of the barrel is raised, rolls along the surface without breaking. A thin air gap keeps the bubble from sticking to the barrel.
