I recently got this and thought it was a cool trick so I'll leave a quick review -
The Effect You blow up a balloon, stretch the neck and then detach it, leaving you with an apparently unbroken spherical balloon with no neck or air inlet. Then you reattach the neck, allowing the balloon to deflate. It can be done with any pear shaped balloon. Cost Mine was $17 from Penguin Magic. Difficulty (1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used, 4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only) 3: You need sufficient practice and be able to pull the balloon about a bit and be conscious of your angles. Review The teaching covers pretty much everything but you'll need to practice a bit to figure out how best to tension the balloons. There's one bonus effect which I wasn't much of a fan of but could go down a storm at a kids party, a one shot multiple balloon production. I was worried that the effect (shot in that YouTube way on the trailer) would be angley. I'd sort of figured out through multiple watchings what was going on (but had no idea how he got it into that position) and I thought if this has any flaws it's the fact that it might be angley. But it's not. With careful handling you can cover all your angles (except maybe over the shoulder) for the entire performance. If I had to find a flaw it's that you can't show the balloon clearly separate. The trailer shows a kind of crossed hands position and I can't see how you would get the same effect so cleanly without it. Overall Beautiful effect, quick to learn, ends and starts clean and would go down a storm at any party where there are balloons. Final Rating 7/10 , because it's pricey for a single trick |
