I occasional work with professional soap bubblers, and have been able  
to observe some of the oddities of the art. Notoriously difficult to  
train, performing soap bubbles have a tendency to improvise their own  
choreography. Despite the incredible beauty of the little spherical  
rainbows, they have a mischievous streak. Subtleties of air temp and  
wind currents, which you may not always be in complete control of,  
can easily distract even the best of bubbles, so you'll want to prep  
with chaos theory in mind.
And speaking of chaos, you may sometimes need a flank of security  
goons to counter the seemingly irresistible urge of kids to jump up,  
chase, and savage your ill-fated orbs.
As for machines, the guys I know make their own rather than relying  
on toys.
For more than you'll ever need to know about stage bebbleology have a
