Fan Yang

Fan Yang (born 1962) is a Canadian bubble artist. He developed his own bubble solution formulas and equipment to create bubbles and has broken bubble-related world records on numerous occasions. Yang produces the Gazillion Bubble Show, a family-friendly "multimedia presentation" in which he "entertains with bubble sculpture, music, laser effects and video projections [and] incorporates ... lots of audience participation ... encasing volunteers in bubbles". Due to heightened demand after the announced closing, the show was extended through January 17, 2027. He has staged it elsewhere, including Las Vegas, Nevada. His wife, Ana Yang, has performed the show in his absence.
