Hi, I have recently been trying to snort a balloon and get it to comes out my mouth and then I can squeeze it. And you know the drill. Anyway, I am gagging when it gets to the back of my throat. When it gets to my toungue I start to gag, sometimes even vomiting.

Anyone got any tips to prevent this?

Hi. Practice a lot. It will go away. Practice 3 times a day and stop for about a week. It will come back to you and if you use nasal spray it helps to get the balloon through the nasal cavity to the beginning of the nasopharynx.

You're kidding right Joker?

You have been told countless times that you need to find a FACE TO FACE teacher, not people on the internet...this should not have to be reiterated so many times.

Brett.

I can do blockhead fine, what is the difference with this?
Apart from the fact it is a balloon and is coming out of your mouth?

Hi Guys,

I too am having a few problems finding the end of the balloon during head flossing.

Any tips would be greatly received.

Cheers,

Ros

With a pencil balloon, make a "mouse." Use the tail of the mouse as a nail.In the beginning, gagging is common. Get a teacher!

Well, the difference is that the Blockhead Act is a bit of performance based on an ancient fakir stunt that Melvin Burkhart made into a stand alone act in 1929, and the balloon stunt is something I can came up with about twenty years ago.

Okay Todd, but did you ever give proper credit to the guy who invented latex?

That was Todd in a former life.

Well I will keep trying,

Of course you will.

*sigh*

The guy who invented latex was a real sap.

Yeah, but after he dried up a bit, he was a real flexible guy.

Interesting how it all came about...this ancient jungle dude was having trouble with his mate who seemed over aggitated all the time so the tribal shaman (who curiously spoke with a Brit accent) advised him to just put his hand on her back and "Rub 'er". Fortunately for mankind she had just been leaning against a particular tree and the rest of the story stretches through history.

Hello I perform the stunt at 15 years old. the trick with the sculpting balloons is to have a litle air in the balloon it' llgo through easier

Iam stating to get the blloon round, I came out my mouh once bt I cant get it again it wants to just slide down my throat.

OK so its an old post but I'm reading the Café after searching for info on Melvin ..... any way I read this message from Todd .... .


now todd is the MAN and came up with nasal flossing ....... we all know you shoudl use a teacher rather than just hammer away till it goes in .... you walk on it or ..... you hurt your hand in a trap .... what ever but if we all need a face to face teacher ...... who did todd use to teach him the nasal flossing?????

Only kidding. ...... I'm bit dese at times ...... its why it takes me longer to get my blockhead nail in...... its so much denser round my brain more bone to protect the very fragile little thing I got! ..... brain not another member.....
