Tom Noddy - Bubble Magic

[@TomNoddy]

Thanks Alan! I almost never do my act silent anymore. I use to do it on television in countries where I don't speak the language but I always missed being able to tease and joke with them. Now I rather like seeing the skill and the bubbles stand alone.

[@cemoDersim62]

Tom Noddy Youre amazing tom

[@skshsbjsjsbabajab4687]

No one believes that you're actually him lol.

Tom Noddy

[@tinydog1234]

Tom, I first witnessed your bubble-fu back in the 80's on a show called The New Vaudvillians. Bravo sir, and thank you!

[@TomNoddy]

That was a really good show. They filmed at San Francisco State University in 1986 when we held the first ever New Vaudeville Festival. I had a lot of friends playing that event and several others that I met there and have been friends since.

[@stenbak88]

I’m glad that he quit smoking

[@matthewpolk8015]

yeah its great

[@blurghgitty3000]

I was about to say, I'm glad he found a way to do the smoke tricks without actually having to smoke.

[@flakey1228]

Did he quit smoking? I think he does it this way because people are not allowed to smoke on tv anymore.

[@justinford5281]

Me too :)

[@stenbak88]

Flakey 12 so true

[@drumrit]

I watched the young Tom Noddy a few hours ago. Seeing him like this now, i have tears in my eyes because 1. He still has the same beard and haircut 2. He's still blowing bubbles 3. He's smiling through it. He's won. This is what success looks like.

[@BlitzerXYZ]

He has also quit smoking

[@Max-lf4br]

i was just about to say that

[@noahiglesias6252]

Broi just did the same thing today

[@luk9sonl347]

Yeah same. So happy to see someone after 37 years doing the same thing.

[@luk9sonl347]

After 37 years my man still in buisness. This is so wholesome

[@lyssaM13]

So he quit smoking cigarettes..super dope still!

[@BabbleOn777]

I have to wonder what 'smoke' he is using, as it has to have the 'weight' and 'density' of what he is used to creating and performing with. I guess he could answer it, but...makes you think how integral that composition of whatever tobacco he smokes has close aspects.

[@usernameinvalid8]

He use to smoke only when he practiced then he needed a bubble or two after every meal. (Or something like that, it was one of his jokes in another video of his :D)

[@BabbleOn777]

@@usernameinvalid8 Vaporizers. Looks like he may be using vaporizers smoke. Nothing wrong there. Understandable, the use of tobacco products on TV began to become restricted into the 90's.

[@usernameinvalid8]

@@BabbleOn777 I was just quoting a joke. In another video he has up on KZbin from when he was younger. I understand hes using a vapor device of some sort

[@BabbleOn777]

Tom Noddy- The Original BubbleSmith. His "Bubble Cube" trick is legendary. He's extremely witty too. Very talented to make a career with bubbles. Takes a bit of finesse no doubt.

He looks happy doing what he's doing

3:47 is the most wholesome, childlike smile ever :)

[@rafitohornero3850]

What is that thing....? Vape?

[@RoastCDuck]

He used to smoke to fill the bubbles with the smoke from the cigarrete which is a gas and something that does makes smoke when it comes from the land down under lol.

[@thedragonguru2332]

This warms my heart.He does it with such love. It feels like Bub(ble) Ross

[@Dewoy1]

Its so innocent, originel and fun to watch. I hope they pay him extra!

[@hansmueller3029]

Saw a video of Tom on Johnny Carson. I was transfixed. Really excellent performance

[@audreycramer2659]

I just watched one of Tom's videos from when he was younger doing a similar act with jokes. It's so cute seeing him do the same act with a different flair as he ages. He seemed like a cool dude before, now he seems so cute and sweet :) He still has the same hairstyle and mustache. Now that's a man who knows himself and who he wants to be. Thank you Tom for the lovely entertainment!

[@poisonpotato1]

He’s the bubble guy he makes all the bubble rules

[@CosmicOwlChild]

Seeing the other video when he was younger and telling jokes was nice.. Now seeing this video of his... She changes you and the experience we have.. Still great to see people still happy doing what they love to do you know... Even if they're tired.

[@redneckbarbie]

I first saw Tom on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. I remember his wit and how cool and comfortable he was on stage. I am so glad he is still up to doing his magic with bubbles.
