Hi guys,

I began working on Pressure a few days ago, and although I can now get the phone inside, when I try to tear it with the teeth after blowing it a little, it keeps tearing both layers, so that I can't show the balloon inside...

Any tips on this? Is it because of the balloons, of me, of my way of tearing?

Thank you in advance!

First of all...don't stop tearing it with your teeth. That's not the correct method. Yes, that's how it's taught, but this trick was based on my routine called Inflation.

If you'd like to learn all the nuances of performing this "correctly" where it is actually deceptive, I have it in my book available to purchase at www.sleightlydelusional.com

I meant to say STOP tearing it with your teeth.

I've been playing with it as well, and am coming around to simply re-inflating the balloon. It makes a great sound as the phone pops out, which so far has worked as a nice convincer. They can hear the phone passing through. I also like keeping the balloon intact so I can go on to other balloon effects. Of course, your mileage may vary. This is just one newbie's opinion.
