On November 17th, Seattle magician Louie Foxx burst his own world record for Most Bounces of a Soap Bubble as part of Guinness World Record Day. The previous world record was 88 bounces and in front of about 300 kids and teachers at Peter G Schmidt Elementary in Tumwater, WA he bounced a bubble 107 times on his hand before it burst!

“Breaking the record that morning was a challenge due to the AC/ Heating system turning on right before I started my attempt!” Louie said after his successful attempt.

This world record attempt took place during his BAND Together For a Bully-Free School assembly that teaches kids anti-bullying techniques in a fun an memorable way.
November 17th, 2011 was also Guinness World Record Day, a day to celebrate all things superlative!

Guinness World Record Day 2011

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

Every year Guinness World Records has a day where they get thousands of people to attempt to break world records in a 24 hours period!  This year Guinness World Record Day on on November 17, 2011.

I’m thinking I might try to officially break my world record for bouncing a soap bubble on my hand.  My record is currently 88 bounces of a soap bubble on my hand before it popped.   My personal best is about double that and my average is in the low triple digits, so I’m hoping that I can break my record.

On 11/17/11 I’m doing a couple of my Anti Bullying school assemblies in Tumwater, so that might be a good place to try to break the records, I’m sure the elementary school kids would love watching it!

I’m still on the fence about trying it…and the way air is in an elementary school gym might make breaking my record really difficult.  I might do a few practice runs at a couple of schools in the next couple of weeks to see  how it goes.
