Marvin's glass instrutions are in a back issue of Balloon Magic Issue #14. A 
little tip--Practice with something other than clear 260's until you really 
get the hang of it.

Also I wanted to mention a really great experience I had today. I was 
twisting away at the mall when three adults and a five year old pretty little 
girl came up. The adults really wanted to make sure that the girl got a 
balloon. I was a bit surprised that the little one was completely blind she 
had the cane and everything.. But we just had the most fun time. She wanted a 
ladybud. Mine is very small and I amke it as a bracelet. I blew up the 
balloon and had her feel it. Her hands were so small that I just put them in 
mine (which are big anyway) and we just twisted the thing together. What a 
trip! She was so proud. She went off with her folks and was showing everyone. 
The little girl said her name was Snow and she told me not to forget her. 
Believe me-I will never forget that kid. I tried to refuse the tip but they 
threw it in my bucket anyway. I think one lady in the crowd started to cry. 
It really made my day!
