Nevermind blowing. What you need is serious heat. The best way I've found to
get this is to squeeze and release the balloon rapidly several times. You
can actually feel the balloon heat up in your hand when you do this. Then,
the trick is holding the balloon in the shape you want until it cools down.
Should stay pretty good after cooling for about 5 seconds.
