Does anyone know where to find clear twisting balloons that are similar to the Qualatex 260Q white balloons? I have looked at various magic dealers that carry balloons (including the Qualatex line) but most only have the variety bags. Is there a better brand of clear balloons than Qualatex?

I also have a second question: I do not do twisting in any of my acts, and never have, but I do know how to twist quite a few different items and I learned them for my own amusement. My question is this: Is there any difference between a pencil balloon and a twisting balloon, or is it just two different names for the same thing?

They are just different names for the same thing.

As for where tofind them, go to tmeyers.com, or balloonartmart.com, or balloonmerchant.com. Any of thos sites should have qualatex diamond clear 260's at the very least. There is also the betalatex crystal clear 260's. The only difference is a matter of preference.

Best of luck, doc.

Yah, you're just in the wrong type of store. Any of the sites that Alex listed will have any Qualatex color in bags of 100.

Thank you, gentlemen, for the replies - they were very helpful!
