The method is so clever and simple to execute, yet will appeal to everyone from Professional to the casual performer.

Anytime you can use borrowed objects ( bills, coins, rings ) the magic is elevated. LATEX offer two classics of magic: a penetration and a restoration.

In LATEX, you borrow a quarter and have them sign/initial it, just as you do with a signed card effect. That same quarter is dropped into the balloon and inflated. You shake the balloon and they can hear it rattle inside. And then their signed coin penetrates the balloon.

At first they just see a bit of silver. Slowly, more of the quarter becomes visible, until they can begin to see their signature. More and more of the coin slowly passes through the balloon, until it pops free.

The balloon is unharmed and the hole has healed!

Pop the balloon and perform the second phase: the restoration. Bits of the popped ballon are gathered and re-inflated. They can keep the balloon and signed coin as souvenirs!

Perfect for restaurants, parlor, strolling, birthday parties or MC work.

This is a very well done effect. Once the prep work is done you are basicly clean. Very little "work" required with an excellent return.

The secret is ingenious...I've never failed to amaze with this trick. Takes just a little set up and you can make an infinite number of gimmicks yourself with NO trouble whatsoever.

Very easy, and very mystifying.

I think this is a very smart and well made trick but i gave this trick a 4 star review because for me the setup was VERY difficult and i had to buy extra balloons. If you have the time to do the setup then you are ready to perform the best trick you've ever seen :)

I was pleasantly surprised by this effect and the method was something I hadn't guessed. I think this DVD is well worth the price--you can do this for kids or adults. You can buy a bag of balloons at a party supply store (or even a dollar store) and they would work for this.

I was never interested in any coin/balloon plot until I watched the demo for "Latex", and I am very pleased with my purchase.

great, looks incredible!!!!

Great trick!! not for begginers you need some kind of crowd control to make the ilusion work, this is great for a "Show me a no card trick"

is a must! you will even fool yourself

Every time the trick is performed costs you 3 balloons, the expensive latex balloons too. The method is clever, but like another reviewer wrote, it's a pain to set up each time. I would advise only performing this for your paid gigs so you can recoup some of that loss and make it worth while.

I feel there is a lot more to be explored with this principle. I fooled with pulling a card through the balloon using this method years ago. It worked with a folded card, but it was too much trouble.

This trick was recommended to me when chatting on the live chat. So I thought, what the heck, and ordered it. It does take a little set up but once done it is truly magical. So this is not something you can do spontaneously but if you are preparing for a normal performance it is a good trick.
