Defy logic and gravity with this quick magic-science illusion.
All you need is lighter fluid, a bowl and some bubble solution. The butane gas from the lighter sinks to the bottom of the bowl, below the oxygen. The bubbles then float in the oxygen atop the heavy butane creating a magical hover effect!
Beware! Any spark discharges will bring this kid-friendly experiment to a whole other level with explosive bubble popping action.

good experiment
i'd like to see some explosions
ya i agree w/ amie throw a match in there!
very unsafe this way, but you can do it with dry ice and not risk an explosion
science... it's entertaining
Yeah not quite impressive enough for the rock-ish music in the background
Pretty cool, but I don't think I would recommend this version for kids...
How long do you have to blow the bubbles before most of the gas dissipates?
Now throw a match into the bowl and watch it explode!
i thought bubbles were anti gravity already
you know you blow them
then they float away
on regular air
cool and funny!
you could always use helium
good
bubbles!!! :^)
dont all bubles levitate?
this wouldnt be "safe" for kis if you have an open flame around but it is pretty cool
