This city’s hardworking bubble man had succeeded once again in bringing a little joy. Waking up, surgery after surgery, “it was like being reborn”. In 2020, when Covid-19 emptied the city’s streets, he found his calling as a bubble performance artist. Dipping a string that hangs like a “V” from two rods into solution, Reis learned to fashion spheres “the size of a Prius”. A woman approached Reis not long ago, on Bush Street, to say his bubbles uplifted her when her dad died.
