My name is Vijay and I am a magician who uses balloons as part of my kid's party show. So far I have been making only simple and intermediate one balloon figures. Everything I know has come from the Qualatex Balloon Magic video, Dr. Dropo's book and the Aaron Hsu Flanders book. I am now considering buying a few more books. The main aim is to learn more one balloon and multi-balloon figures (not too elaborate). If I had about fifty bucks to spend, which books/tapes would people recommend. I was considering the new Great Balloons book by Merlin (?) but that alone is $35! Anyone tried T. Myers set of 7 books for about $36.00? I am looking mainly for more variety. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks, BTW, as a complete beginner I thought Marvin Hardy's above mentioned Balloon Magic video was ver good indeed! Thanks Marvin! Vijay (nvijay@borland.com)
