ArtSmart Family First Saturday Concert Series: Tom Noddy and his Amazing Bubble Magic!
About ArtSmart Family First Saturday Concert Series: Tom Noddy and his Amazing Bubble Magic!
About Tom Noddy:
Tom has done something unique in show business: he created a new kind of act. After many years developing Bubble Magic at home and then many years developing as a performer (including years of street performing on Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz) Tom was invited to appear on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show in 1983 and subsequently on television shows, theaters, festivals and science centers throughout the world. When Johnny Carson saw it he said, on air, “He’s doing something unlike anything we’ve ever seen.”
Tom still lives in Santa Cruz but he travels extensively bringing this beautiful art form with him as he watches our changing world through the film of soap bubbles.
