Very good use of U.F. Grant's Miniature Rope of India trick. When the improved method came out years later, it could also be in cooperated in this balloon version, that is passing out the rope. Nice idea on the drooping rope feature.
Now this is the proper way to create and market a new trick without copying directly. Take what has gone before and create a totally different magic trick. If you use balloons in your act, then this would be a good illusion to put in a program. Start my performing Silk in Balloon, then the Floating Balloon, ending with the Needle thru Balloon. Now it would be a full routine. You have to hurry to get a Morrissey Silk in Balloon stand, as we all know they have gone out of business. Don't know if they will still supply dealers, but I don't believe they are going to do that. Received the Floating Balloon on 10/18/2013 or 18/10/2013 if you are in the U.K. (LOL) The construction is not high tech, but that means anyone can fix it on the fly. If you adhere to Jay Marshall's advice to always carry a repair kit with you to your shows. Just my opinion, but I think the gimmick could be a little thicker, a millimeter or two for smoother working, but I works fine as is. This will take a little rehearsal time to get the illusion of a balloon attached to a cord perfect that is beginning to float up. Notice I said, "rehearsal" not practice. Comes with rope, cup, gimmick, 3 balloons, and instructional DVD. Highly recommend! This fantastic creation is for those that do stand-up shows in front of groups of people. Great idea! Great trick! If there was a prize for the Best Stand-Up Trick Of The Year for 2013, this is it! So I nominate - Drum Roll please! - Wonder Floating Balloon By RYOTA as the #1 greatest trick for stand-up magic of the year 2013! Magical Experience - 1st Place Prize Creativity - 1st Place Prize Routine - 1st Place Prize Price - 1st Place Prize And it is easy to do as well. FIVE STAR EFFECT ***** out of 5 stars or as some rate them 10 out of 10 |

I looked at the demo then showed it to my 8 year old and they thought the same as me that it does not look like the balloon is floating

My kids thought the same. I think magic kids are a bit different. They see magic all the time and have tons of time to figure it out.
Most audiences will not know.
Still with the Chinese circus
