Pressure Ideas?

[Sean.Cinco]

I tried playing with the idea of having the cellphone recording video during the process so the spectators can "see how it happens". It actually looks pretty cool if the balloon doesn't push the side buttons to cancel the video.

I put an ipod into a balloon with the earphones still on it looked Okay with the wire hanging out of the neck.

I used a yoyo. The string didn't roll back up.

/Fail.

I like the idea of recording it with there phone, they can take the magic home.
They see the balloon comeing at it, then bam...
The ipod with the head phones hanging out is another cool one!

There might be some lighting problems with that idea. If you know what I mean.

For those thinner balloon types, you can actually manage to get a zippo lighter into it.

Other than that... CDs work, and so do:

• Rubix cube (hard though)
• small notepads / notebooks (for you mentalists)
• really small balls... REALLY difficult... but if you're lucky xD

I'll add more if I come up with others that arent obvious

I'v been trying to think of a way to put a soda can inside and perform sinful then cut the can out of the balloon and open it to finish sinful. thoughts?

Too much for one effect.

The ipod with the head phones hanging out is another cool one!

That leaves an obvious hole in the balloon, which the spectator will remember when thinking back. It takes away from the effect itself.

Yeah.
But the video will not be perfect obviously. I dont think anyone would care.
Its like, they get to see the magic happening to the phone.
