Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
As a magician, I also do balloon twisting. What's the best way to manage balloons. I'd like to keep them separated by color. I know there are balloon aprons, but I'd feel silly putting one of those on after my magic show, just to do balloons. Any ideas/suggestions? |

I have a few soft wine bottle carriers I use to manage the different balloons and a soft coolr for my bulk balloons

The soft wine carrier idea is great!
For an alternative, http://www.twistemup.com makes a Busking Bag that uses strips of velcro to group balloons together. With a drawstring top, you can close it to look pretty much any old bag, then open it and have easy access to your balloons. |

I also use the "busking bag" from Twist em up. I like it very much, and use it when strolling or at times when there's no table. Their velcro system is very slick.

When I bought one of those metal atache case/tool boxes to use for my magic stuff, it came with a second matching cae, but smaller. It has adjustable compartments, that I use to sort my balloons, and the tool part in the lid is great for sharpies and other non-balloon stuff that I like to use.

I second Ron's suggestion for the twist'em up busking bag. It works VERY well, keeping the balloon stock in your control and not out in the open. The busking bag has pockets on the outside as well for specialty balloons markers etc.....

I use a flat change bag. Light balloons one side, dark the other side and different type or sze in the other.

Matt, that's a cute idea but why seperate them into light and dark?
They're the ones easy to seperate at a glance. The ones that are hard to pick out black, purple, dark green will all be in the same compartment. Why not have a system where you have the seperate dark colours in different compartments. For an entertainers assorment- Compartment 1-orange, green, dark blue Comp 2-White, light blue, purple Comp 3-black, red, Yellow I use a tool box that has a removable sit-in frame with elastic thread through it for keeping colours seperate.(Although,.occasionally don't bother with it and just empty bags into it) It has 9 seperate compartments at the front for novetly balloons: heads, bee-bodies etc. I adjusted a music stand so the whole lot can screw into the bottom so I can have it standing beside me at hand height and out of little hand's reach. I really like Rob's idea, too. George |
