The magician shows a round balloon and points out that all the balloons have one thing in common - a nozzle. He then takes the nozzle and pulls it straight off the balloon and makes it vanish. He then rotates the balloon all around showing that it is seamless. The magician then points to a smooth part of the balloon, twists it and turns it into a new nozzle. For the climax he pushes the nozzle through the skin of the balloon creating an impossible object: a balloon tied from the inside! The balloon can then be handed out in its impossible state.
Want to create and give away an impossible object your audience will never forget?
Create an inside-out balloon right before their eyes in this 3-phase routine.
Phase 1: Rip the knot off a balloon and make it vanish
Phase 2: Create a new knot on the smooth balloon
Phase 3: Push the knot INSIDE the balloon and give it away
In this DVD Andrew teaches his method for tying a knot on the inside of the balloon and using it in an incredibly visual magic routine.
+ Uses regular balloons.
+ No special tools required.
+ Place a playing card or business card in the balloon as a giveaway!
DVD running time 20 minutes

Although the idea sounds good on paper..it just did not play out for me. Not only was I not entertained by the premise, I did not feel a magical experience had happened.
It seemed more like a puzzle than a piece of magic. Andrew, to his credit, tried to make this work. There is an interesting move to make it look like you took the nipple off of the balloon but in the long run it just didn't play for me.
And...I could see many a audience member think that you just pushed the nipple inside the balloon. That's not how it works or how it can be done, but since we (as an Audience) don't play with balloons in that fashion, I think there will be more head scratching than amazement.
It is interesting to see how Andrew makes this strange balloon but I don't see much use for it in a show. It comes off more as a bar bet than a magical experience.
