Hi all,
I've been doing a little routine on my walkabout &
restaurant gigs where I balance a (balloon)
sword/hammer etc on my nose while I make any animal
they request behind my back at the same time. I came
up with it a few months ago and have been getting a
great response from it ever since, so I thought I'd
share it.
Does anyone else do something similair?
It looks very impressive compared to how easy it
actually is. Balloon swords must be one of the easiest
things in the world to balance (check venue for drafts
first) and anybody who has been doing balloons for any
length of time can do a balloon without looking so the
behind the back bit doesn't make a jot of difference.
The other bonus in this trick is all the kid's
instinctively have a go at balancing balloons on their
noses (Very amusing to watch). Quite often you'll get
a child who can do it well which leads to more fun...
that's all,
magic george
