I am interested in learning to twist balloons for children's shows. Which do you think are the best DVD/Videos to learn from?

Thanks.

I would recommend Balloon Magic Made Easy by Royal Magic. Steve Brooks wrote a great review on it, which is what led me to picking it up. The price is a steal too. My favorite on the DVD is probably the snail or the rocking horse. Enjoy!

Here is a link to Steve's review...

I recommend you the video "Arthur Tivoli Live". Mr Tivoli is considered in France, one of the best balloon sculptor. Note: the video is available in English and in French.

I should add that this video is not for a beginner, but shall motivate him by watching a live show. Also lots of advice. Arthur has also videos for beginners, but these are in French.

I also recommend the Balloon Magic Made Easy series. They in my opinion are perfect for the beginner.

Another thing I would probably do is check out the balloonhq.com site. Most of the new videos and books coming out on the market are from members of this site.

Always feel free to ask questions on that site. They are eager to help. Hope it helps.

Where can I get Arthur Tivoli Live?

Are there anymore videos that not only teaches how to twist balloons but also how to entertain as well?

You can probably try T Myers.

Hello:

I have the Arthur Tivoli tape and like it very much! It's one of my favorites. The tape is quite different from other balloon tapes as it shows Arthur doing his balloon show on stage at Euro-Disneyland. He is very entertaining.

Strangely enough, his tape is available just about everywhere but T. Myers. I bought mine at Hocus-Pocus, but lots of magic dealers have it. I've also seen it many times on ebay.

Anyone have the Brian Flora video that teches balloon twisting?

I see that video on eBay from time to time. Not sure how much it usually sells for.

Sorry.
