Not to mention that swallowing a balloon looks phallic.

A lot of people posting seem to have great concerns about performing a balloon swallow in front of kids. Well I open my kids show with a ten minute routine culminating with a balloon swallow and the production of a mouth coil. That has been in my act for more than a decade. I toured for five years with a large kids show which was seen by roughly 800 kids a weekend. I am waiting for my first complaint.
It is a great bit on the street - it draws a crowd and gets great reactions, and it gives height to your performance. You can have a presentation for the kids (detailed in my book Teach Yourself Magic), or a more suggestive routine for late night college gigs. I have used it in both settings. Kids are young and inexperienced. That does not make them stupid. I have never had a child try and eat a balloon after seeing me do it. They are not as stupid as their parents, or many performers, assume. You can do this effect responsibly. In answer to Glen, the best balloon to swallow is a Qualatex or Sempterex 260. I have occasionally used 160s but they are too narrow. Use a solid colour rather than a transparent one. Light colours (yellow, orange, pink, white) tend to show up clearest. As I like to end with the production of a mouth coil I use white balloons - the first colour of the mouth coils I use is white.
