I am more of a magician than a balloon twister but, I am going to start working on a new routine soon, and need balloons that look like condoms (regular condoms wont work because they don't pop.) I have seen the clear ones that resemble condoms in that they are clear, but they don't have the condom shape, nor do they come in a wrapper. Does anyone know where I could find these?

These are clear balloons, available from all good balloon stockists. There are numerous threads within this balloon section of the Magic Café, about *where* to purchase balloons from. You best bet is to find a store that sells bags of single colour balloons, and purchase a bag of clear balloons from that store.
Qualatex use the description "Diamond Clear" for their clear balloons. Qualatex sells them in 4 sizes: 160; 260; 350; 646. The first number is a reference to the diameter of the fully inflated balloon - either 1, 2, 3, or 6 inches in diameter. The second & third digit are read together to indicate the (approximate) length of the fully inflated balloon - either 60, 50, or 46 inches in length. Hope this helps you. Baz |

You could always cut the fingers off of a latex glove. Roll them up, put them in (previously opened and emptied) condom wrappers.

Those are both great suggestions that I will look into. Thanks for the education Marvelous_Mysto I never knew that was what the numbers represented.

I would go for the clear 646 myself......it looks the closest to the real thing both inflated and popped...specially popped, both in look and texture

Awesome I will check into them. I am working on a couple other projects right now so I am just trying to pre-educate myself before getting started, but will let you all know how it goes once I try it.....Thanks for all of the replies.
