    I have not really ever purchased anything from them, BUT they have lectured
at the IBM national convention, and I believe have been hired by a clown
organization to come to Rochester so they must have some credintials. Actually
I've always heard nothing but good things about them... with that said.

  You might want to give T. Myers Magic a call 1-800-646-6221 for a catalog.
They have several different pumps that they sell starting to the little
TINY blue squeeze pump (many, many squeezes needed), to the pumps like Larry
has (inflates on both push AND pull of handle, but still takes a few strokes,
but is good if you are walking around) all the way up to their 'Pump 1' 
( $150.00 ) that inflates on either stroke... up or down, and will completely
fill a 260 in less than one full stroke. Good if you are going to be stationary
such as at a mall where you are set up to have people come to you. It is
also large enough that you can pull the sections apart and stuff a large supply
of balloons inside for compact travel.

   They also have a large selection of balloons from different manufactures.
The ones I can see on their order blank is..
	1) Qualatex
	2) Ashland
	3) Granger

  What's neet is the selection of styles... 260Q's, hearts, rounds
GEO (donuts), spinners, Airship (I think someone asked for a source of these
a few days ago, 260E, 260A, 250D, 280D, Bee Bodies, etc..

  They also have books and video's, but I have never seen any of them., a
news letter, and a very limited supply of magic goods.


hope this helps someone...
