Jay Sankey says, "'repAIR is a wonderfully organic and extremely deceptive piece of visual poetry."

Imagine it: You walk up to a group of people. After asking for one of the girls' numbers and being rejected, you pull out a balloon from your pocket and begin to inflate it. You remove a pencil from your pocket and pop the balloon, scaring the crap out of the girl (whom you are probably too good for anyway) and she begins to cry. Let's face it: there's nothing worse than a crying girl. You immediately start to massage the broken balloon pieces until they fuse together, allowing you to blow the balloon up once again. She gives you her number, but you don't call because she's been with all your friends. You instead make a fart noise with the balloon and put it back into your pocket - she doesn't deserve it.

repAIR happens right in front of their faces and you're able to show both hands completely empty before and after the effect. There's no need to load, ditch or swallow anything. It's super practical, extremely baffling, and looks like real magic.

Simple, direct, and practical. You can use the balloon for other effects afterwards as well. t11 is starting to build its own little repertoire of balloon tricks!

This is an extremly visiual effect! The only thing is that it's quite expensive for a balloon trick.

I love this trick. The method is practical and the gimmick is quite clever. The only down side to this trick is that the ballon can't be inspected when you're done. Other than that, buy it now.

A minor miracle in a little round latex package! Very clearly described and very easy to do. Please do not buy this as I want to keep the secret all to myself.

Loved the trick, but the best part is, his jokes are really funny. Buy! I just give 4 stars because it's not examinable.

So happy in magic • France • 10/30/2011

Very good idea and very good trick. Highly recommended. The little bad point is the price compared to the quality of the video (though the explanations are clear,) however it is a awesome trick.

This is exactly what magic with a balloon should be. Balloon pops. You restore it. Balloons popping is such a casual event and its great that we can finally use that to our advantage. The method is super practical and Michael does a great job of explaining everything. This is an effect that you
