I believe that the idea of a bullet catch is not exactly original. From what I recall John Cassidy performs a routine along those lines. Sorry.
I always thought it would be neat to premake a bunch of balloon figures and stuff them into an 8 foot balloon. That way you could just take it into a party, pop the balloon, kids yell as balloons fly everywhere, collect your money and leave. As always, Dylan |

Yes Mark is right, it was a lawn dart. I say go for the bullet catch then. Off the top of my head I can think of a handling that would work perfect. As always, Dylan |

It would be easier to climb in make your balloon animals and then climb out .... in my honest opinion. Lot of work to save how much time?? Not to mention $20 balloon

Best prices for these balloons with the increase in Latex cost this year appears to be this website that sell them to car dealers to advertise: http://shop.cloudbusterballoons.com/ $19 bucks each if you buy bulk (10)

Wrong kind of balloon ... you want an Italian rifco or a South American 80"
besides if your buying in bulk best bet is http://www.continentalsales.net/catalog.php?id=218 $17 each if you buy 10 or more ... Tell Lorinda I sent you!! Quote: On 2011-03-27 21:15, Kevinr wrote:

Here's my idea, a straight jacket escape. Get put in a straight jacket, then get stuffed in an opaque balloon (good luck doing that without popping it), escape from the straight jacket and then pop the balloon from inside for the finale. Or have the balloon neck almost sealed so that some air can escape, I have to escape from the straight jacket before all the air escapes from the balloon.

Even funnier would be getting a noise maker. Like a squeeker but bigger and have it put into the neck once inside.
