Magic Tricks

I really wanted to like this effect. I use Billoon in my act and wanted to use WSB as further "proof" of my balloon penetrating abilities. But I've found WSB too "knacky" as the Brits would say. I've found the gimmick hard to use smoothly and it takes too much visible effort to effect the load, which gives spectators the impression that you're obviously doing "something". I believe in a resonable amount audience management and misdirection but I feel like WSB takes a bit too much.
