In regards to Eric Leongs' inquiry about swallowing
balloon swords...
Most North American magic dealers carry a video by
Steve Bedwell, an accomplished and a very funny
magician. One of his pet tricks he explains is on how
to swallow a 260 balloon(he doesn't do it as a balloon
sword, which give it a much more magical and stronger
effect). He also explains how to expel the balloon
from your mouth without being detected. As a fellow
magician, I get rave results with Steve's method. I
highly recommend this video, not only for the 'balloon
bit' but for the other magic content as well.
