The Pro Wand is the largest bubble wand we make, which means it creates the biggest bubbles. The Pro Wand was also the first big bubble wand we made. The smaller “Starter Wand” came second.
This blog is actually a sequel to beeboo® – How it all started. You see, beeboo® Big Bubble Mix was actually created first, and then we began manufacturing the wands. So here’s how this story goes:
The very first big bubble device I used was back in the early 1990’s or so. The device was referred to as The Bubble Thing and was invented by David Stein. The big bubble wand had a ribbon like loop attached to a long rod and a mechanism to open and close the bubble loop. I did some additional research on bubble wands and discovered Arthur Fulton and Kalvin Klundt, both of which had their own designs and patents on big bubble wands.
I was absolutely fascinated with the two handle design invented by Kalvin. I fashioned my own homemade version of his wand to further my experiments with our newly created beeboo® Big Bubble Mix. The patent was still valid, so of course we couldn’t manufacture and sell that particular wand design along with beeboo to make the big bubble kit we had always dreamed of, and suggested by Betty James, the “Slinky” lady!
In the late 1980’s the Galoob Toy Company had manufactured Kalvin’s two handle big bubble toy and marketed the product under the trade name of Dip Stix. They sold millions! Years passed, patents expired and Galoob was no longer in existence. I decided to call Kalvin Klundt, to discuss the possibility of manufacturing his wand design again, and co-market with beeboo. Even though the patent had expired, the toy was no longer being sold, and the original toy company was out of business, I thought it best as a gesture of good faith and personal respect to call Kalvin directly and discuss this potential. Kalvin is one of the most polite and gracious toy inventors I have ever known. His response to my request was: “No problem Dave that was 20 toys ago!”
Now we had our second product, a big bubble wand to go along with our big bubble concentrate. Up to this point, we had been selling just the big bubble mix. Once we began offering the wand and the mix as a package, sales began to increase. This proved that Betty James was correct; consumers want a quality experience that is easy, convenient and fun.
There are many attributes I enjoy about the two handle big bubble wand design. It’s definitely the most popular design among big bubble enthusiasts, as every world record bubble, since the first one was established, has been created using the two handle design. Two really big handles of course!
The main reason I like the two handle wand is how easy it is to create big bubbles. It’s really easy with either the beeboo® Pro Wand or the beeboo® Starter Wand.
The first step of course is to wet the super absorbent wicking material in your big bubble solution. Then, holding the tips together, lift them high into the air and with the breeze at your back.
The two simple steps for creating big bubbles are as follows:
OPEN
CLOSE
It’s that easy to use the two handle wand design! Of course the same technique is used with our smaller beeboo® Starter Wand, designed for beginners and youngsters.
