They do have balloon tying devices that you hold in your hand, and with a
little practice they work great....

WHAT WE DO.....BEFORE your fingers even start to get sore (when they're sore
it's getting too late) wrap them with duct tape.  It stays on, it's
flexible, it works for us!  Good Luck!

Hello list,
Also all the lucky ones who attended the TJam.  Maybe
sometime I can make it.  I hope my dream turns into a
reality.  I really want to see the actual people and
the actual twisting and all.  So far it has been only
on books and the net.
 
Well I have got a very painful problem here.  After
doing a large decor, or performing at 3-4 places in
one day only, the fingers give way.  By the end it
becomes very difficult to even move the fingers,
forget tying the knots.
Is there any other way to tie the knots for the
balloons?  Or is there something which you can use for
you fingers to protect them.
Any ideas / advices are welcome.  I've got a small
decor to do for the Carnival and on the same day I
have been booked to perform at a Carnival dance. 
Again worried about the numb fingers that I will get
by the end of the day :-(
Tod
