I did a quick search over the forum and didn't find much.. However I'm sure there has been a similar topic before

I would like to see pictures of everyones balloon set ups (apron, bag, rig etc....)
There are a lot of people out there who use unique ideas that can help us all... And I would like to see some of them

I previously used a suitcase with balloons inrubber bands... It didn't really work... So I got a double busking bag from twist em up

It works way better and I love it!!!! I will post some pictures when I get on my computer tommorrow.

It holds all the balloons I need (and more...) and stands easily ontop of my magic case

So glad you asked. My lovely wife got me a new gig bag for Christmas. Before this I used a Twist ‘em Up Easy Tuck ‘n Go with an extra balloon strip. I’ll probably still use the apron when I’m walking around.

This is the 18 pocket bag from Trist n Shout http://www.tristnshout.com/bags with the top zipped:



And opened:



I think I can pack a couple of thousand balloons in the center plus a 160 pump then the outside 15 pockets for rounds and 321s and hearts. The best part is the mesh pump holster. You don’t have to actually take the pump out to work it. Fantastic idea!

Hand made with love right here in the United States.

I use a Ed Chee apron, when doing restaurant work, or when I am needed to do walk around stuff.

And when I am set up at one spot/ doing large sculpture work I work out of an old Macintosh bag,Its like a mini Swifty bag without the outside pockets etc.... ok its nothing like a Swifty bag I just dream...It cost 5 bucks at the local GoodWill.

I want to be like Christopher when I grow up.

Be careful what you wish for...just sayin!

Almost forgot to upload my picture!

Here is my double busking bag that I got for christmas. I currently only carry 260's in the middle, but I look to add the popular colours of 350's and 160's. I also keep I spare pump in the middle section of the bag

In the outer pockets I have 5" alien heads (pre stuffed), ladybug imprints, monster eyeball top-prints, red white and pink hearts, white rounds, sharpies, business cards, my pump, scissors, scraps and (hopefully) tips

if I am doing balloons after the magic show, I will put the bag onto of my case, if not it is still at a good height without the case (just the table). I got the bag from twist em up, the case from bunnings (australias version of home depot)and the table was made by my great grandfather, who even thoug hhe is 96, still enjoys building stuff

the pocket thing is what my gf made. it is basically a shoe organizer only made smaller. it folds up and fits into the crop n style bag on top of the balloons and 3 clips hold it to the front when I am working. it takes less then a minute to set up and put up
if I do a restuarant I simply use a twisem up apron

You all should watch the next two episodes of Balloon Blast on Scott Tripp's youtube page... Matt Falloon takes balloon storage OCD to a level of awesome!

Matt falloons re order system is incredible!!!!

Wait until next week's episode. The way his rig closes up at the end of the gig is incredible!

I am in need of a bag, I found some other threads that mention https://twistemup.com and one that mentioned T Myers: http://shop.site-link.com/tmyersmagic/products.asp?dept=52

I do not want to wear an apron. I prefer a black bag that looks nice and has a strap and a place for the hand pump I use. I use the 260Q basic colors pack.

What bag do you recommend? It is hard to tell much from the sites I listed above...

Also, how do I tell which balloons are these colors: Purple, Black, Green, Blue - I cannot tell them apart unless I start to blow them up, is there a trick to know???

Watch Christophers video about wrapping balloons in colored foam.

I watched it, so you're saying he just has that kid make sure they are organized and color coded? So the kid blows up each one to make sure which is purple/green/blue/black?

You can pull on the nozzle end, stretching it over your finger, to tell the difference.

Or you could stop buying assortments and buy bags of solid colors.

Traditional assortments are primarily jewel tone, which are more difficult to twist and tend to break more easily.
