Does anyone know where I can learn how to swallow a animal balloon? Is this for real or is it a stunt? PM or respond. Thank you

How do you define real? I know the method in theory, but I have never wanted to do the trick. Not sure what I can say without it being slapped down. No, you don't end up with a balloon in your stomach. But it sure looks like you will.

There's a DVD out that covers it in detail and there are a lot of balloon guys who could teach you to do it. Try a search of the Café to see what turns up. That's how I answered the same question for myself.

Thx everyone. I am heading in the right direction.

OK now here is my big question now that I know how the effect works. How do you ditch the balloon?

The method works 100% of the time. You end up with something easily disposable, and it plays big for adults and kids. I remove the residue under cover of using a mouth coil, or occasionally I just continue with my performance and ditch it at a later stage, when people have stopped focusing on my mouth. It can be done impromptu, with no preparation.
Full instructions are given in my book Teach Yourself Magic ( http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Yourself-Mag......3&sr=8-1 ).
The book also gives all the patter for a ten minute routine suitable for kids or family audience, and some suggestions for an adult performance. Tony.

I have the steve bedwell balloon swallowing tape for sale here in UK.

Wally,

how come there's no PM facility on your comment?
And how come your email address bounces?

Just wondering...
