This is an excellent routine. It really adds something to a magic show and it eats a lot of time, which can be very helpful for those annoyingly long 2-3 hour gigs we might sometimes find ourselves questioning whether or not to accept. This routine can turn the much beloved and highly profitable skill of simple balloon animal making into a GENUINE MAGIC TRICK, instead of... Well, instead of just being balloon twisting.
If you're a magician thinking about getting into balloons, you can't go wrong with this one.
Be warned however, once you start twisting balloons your show is basically over and you will be twisting balloons for the next 30 minutes or so until all the kids who want one get one.
Trust me, done strategically, this is a GOOD thing!

Very nice old book. Everything in it is still usable today. Due to the sub-standard materials of the day they had to work with, everything in here is essentially "bulletproof" with today's miraculous IT resources. The co-author, T.A. Whitney has added new material to supplement UFG's mid-twentieth century text.
