Tried the duct tape. No longer have eyebrows.
A great balloon for this is at Walmart. They carry the appropriate size, and the bags I bought have the description "Pearlized Pastel Assorted" and are labeled "Way to Celebrate!". They are also made in the good ol' USA! A bag of 20 is 97 cents. Though I'm still in "practice" mode, these seem to be perfect for this effect. They are in the "Party" section of the store. What a fun trick, and ingenious! Sammy

Yes ingenious and relatively easy to perform.
The video is the first clue that this may be something desirable. No specs or stooges falling over themselves and yelling obscenities. No camera cutaways. You see the whole effect just the way it is supposed to be performed. At this point your not sure if it may be difficult to perform. What a delight when you receive it and try it out. It's relatively easy and fun to to perform. Great thinking Michael.

I have never seen a busted and restored ballon but this sets the bar for a NEW plot in magic!

Can the balloon be handed out once it's restored?

Nonvpro- available exclusively there at this point. Probably will be offered in other places in the future. PM'd you about the other thing.

This looks fantastic! I'll most likely get it soon.
About it being a new plot, the same effect has been accomplished before using a TT. |

Just got this and was able to perform within minutes. Balloon set up is so easy. Video is great. Michael, you are pretty funny on the video as well. You should have just got a friend to hold the camera for you. Brilliant trick.

Just ordered and received it. In my opinion, another winner!!! Thanks Michael for making this available.

Been playing with this for a while now. Two things about me that fellow Café member Michael Dustman can confirm: (1) I am a massive shopaholic. I buy literally every trick/dvd that comes out; (2) despite the fact that I perform a lot, I almost never add anything to my show. Maybe one thing per year. So most of what I buy never sees the light of day (mainly because a lot of what comes out these days is crap). This, however, will be going right into my act. Super creative, new plot, and great method. Most importantly, it's practical. Can't beat that.

As emyers99 said, "Super creative, new plot, and great method. Most importantly, it's practical. Can't beat that". Couldn't agree more.

Just downloaded this... I agree with everyone else and I'm thankful for creative minds. Thanks for making those not as creative (like me) look good!! Well worth the $$$$

I shot the explanation video over a period of two days and kept coming up with different ideas and things I wanted to include. I'm considering doing an additional "Pro-Tips" video and offering it for free. Thanks again everyone for the positive feedback on repAIR. I can't wait to see some videos of people using it in their performances. I imagine that there are some applications that I haven't thought of and I'd love to see them. |

I think I would do this if I could hand it out at the end with it inflated. I don't know if that is possible.
Looks wonderful though.
I am getting so tired of slitting the throats of people who say that I am a violent psychopath.

I have not purchased this excellent effect, but thinking about it if I can figure out a good place to put it into my current 'act.' From what I have figured out, you would not be able to hand out the newly blown up balloon, for I believe it is left a bit dirty. With some audience management, I think it can be seen as completely normal to the spectator's eye. Probably directly under their nose if the conditions are right. Once again, I don't own this, just think I know what is going on. What a fabulous piece of magic this is!

Thanks for considering doing an additional "Pro-Tips" video and offering it for free. As someone who recently purchased this, I look forward to your free "Pro-Tips" video.
