Sterling the Bubblesmith

Sterling Johnson has performed versions of his hand blown bubbles for over 45 years. Trained as an engineer and lawyer, Sterling started his act to entertain friends, and developed it into a full stage show. He is the first person to walk completely through a bubble film and the only person to ever put a bubble inside a bubble inside a bubble on stage without any straws or tubes. Sterling's stage act is done in two ways: without words, using a music background (often jazz or music to match your event); or a narration style that merges performance with a storyline. Sterling also does "Bubbles Close-Up," a continuous performance off stage where guests can roll up their sleeves and have a hands-on experience. Sterling has appeared in Smithsonian and Omni Magazines and has been featured in all of the major newspapers in the Bay Area; and Klutz’s original The Unbelievable Bubble Book.
