Needle Thru Balloon
Needle thru BalloonLong 18" NeedleOne of the true classic tricks of magic!You stand in front of your audience and blow-up a large 11" to 12" clear balloon. Have someone from the audience come up and help you with this trick. Have this person carefully check the balloon for any holes, trap doors or air leaks. While they inspect the balloon and behind their back, you pull out a large and I mean large 18" very sharp needle with a piece of yarn thru the eye of the needle. With as much by-play as you feel is comfortable explain that while they hold the balloon you will attempt to put the needle through the balloon, AND IF everything works out, the balloon won't pop. At this point, the helper will want to join everyone else in the audience and let you do the trick.Drum roll please...the magician now takes the needle and does indeed push it through the balloon onto the yarn and guess what...the balloon does not pop. Now take the balloon off the yarn and toss in the air, take the needle and poke the balloon and watch the audience's reaction when the balloon pops. As I said this is a classic and should be in everyone's bag of tricks.Because of the nature of this trick, the sharp needle, only sold to adults, so by bidding on this item you are stating you are over 18 years old.
