Magic Tricks

Wow...this is just genius thinking by Rick Lax. The thought process he used to come up with the method is brilliant. He took an old trick that most of us probably know and applied it to a balloon. Just very creative thinking.. While this trick will take some practice, it is well worth it as it is totally impromptu. Just like it says, you start clean and end clean and you don't need a gimmick. Granted you need a certain size balloon, (12") but that is the only thing stopping you from performing very visual trick. He also tells you that you can go to Walmart and get a huge bag of 72 12" balloons for around $4.50. So if you just ordered this, you might want to make a stop at your local Walmart or party supply store. Back to the trick...I thought I had an idea how it was done but I was way off. The only thing I will caution you on is that you do need to have some lung power to blow up the balloon. But he even gives you a tip on that as well..

On top of Detach, he gives you the perfect segue into performing it with his multiplying balloon trick. Now this one, I figured out and some might say big deal, but it works so perfectly for a lead into Detach. And for the general layman, or kids, they will be fooled. Since they have no idea what your going to do, it will blow right past them. But what makes it such a great lead in is you are giving out balloons that will become perfect misdirection for what you need to do for Detach, although unless people are burning your hands you really don't need that much misdirection to get set up for Detach. Even if you saw the method, it's worth buying the DVD just to get the subtleties that he gives you. My ONLY criticism is that they couldn't just give you one balloon to play around with when you get the DVD. This is a Theory 11 release so you can't blame Penguin. Although, whoever is proof reading this review...maybe you guys could throw in a couple balloons in the future?

Anyway, this trick hits all the marks for me to give it a 5 star rating. Bravo Rick Lax.
