What a time for Larry to ask about presentations. Just yesterday I received a
package in the mail from a minister in our local magic club who was returning
a video he had borrowed from me"a while back". Along with the video he included
some copies of pages from a mag he subscribes to called "The Christian Conjurer"r"
 The copies are from a secion that Ralph Dewey puts out on balloon sculpting.
Each sculpter came with suggestons on how to use/present it with a gosple
message.

   Unfortunately this does not really fit in with my style, but if any one
out there is interested I'll give the basics for the presentations, and how
to make the balloons. (I would also suggest you check out the magazine if
this is the sort of stuff you would like to do, I'm sure most of it is on
magic, but I ALWAYS encourage that, but it looks like the balloon section
is a regular feature.)

   The baoollns described are

	1)frosty the snowman (1 - 260)
	2)trumpet (1 - 9" round balloon, 4 - 260's)


	3) cut and restored balloon (2 - 260's)
	4) "orbiting quarter" (quarter is pushed into an inflated/tied off
				14" clear balloon, then spins around the
				equator of the balloon)
	5)"Gods Armor"  -belt (1 - 260)
			-brestplate (2 - 260's)
			-sword (1 260)
			_shield (1 - 260)
			-helmet (1 - 260)
			-shoes (1 - 260 per shoe)  SHOES?????
	6) rubber glove rabbit
	7) a two toned dog (2 - 260's)
	8) butterfly (2 - 260's and one broken balloon) a neat idea, can't
			wait to try it)
	9) inflating a balloon from the wrong end
	10) trained poodle (1 - 260 for the dog, and 1 for the hoop)
		note: this is a REAL simple poodle, but the "act may
		      be worth while.
	11) and act dealing with judgement day (four balloons, no twisting,
		this is strictly used as a gospel lesson where balloons
		will or will not break when stuck with a needle depending
		on what is written on them... or maybe it's because of that
		scotch tape stuck on the side that no one else but you see?)
	12) lastly there is the little turtle, but I believe it's been shown
	    here in the past.

I will post the snowman soon, and the butterfly a little while later (just so
we can keep the group going from time to time). Neither looks hard, but I
want to try them out before I actually commit to posting them. If any one is
interested in any of the routines let me know.

P.S. Larry, missed you at the round table Friday ( I finaly made it ). I can't 
remember when you said you ere going to Pittsburgh, but do you think you might
be interested in doing some juggling for my son's class next Friday afternoon?
( I know I have a lot of nerve asking after not making it to any of Uof R's
functions, but had to ask.)
