Gypsy Balloon (Original Version)

In a word: poetic. The Gypsy Thread is a classic effect for close-up magic, but Tony Clark’s brilliant innovation of using the string of a balloon makes this an ideal way to close a show for a huge auditorium, onstage. Used by some of the finest stage magicians in the industry, this effect allows you to get serious--sentimental, even--at the end of your show.
The effect is the same: you break the string of a balloon into small pieces and then restore them. But the helium balloon allows the restore to LOOK sensational, as the balloon floating upward embellished the restoration in a theatrical manner.
You receive instruction on how to set up and perform this powerful closing effect.

Vincent
Super clean with big audience appeal!
Howard
Good trick, but audio recording of the 1st presentation would have been better if clearer. Also, a bit more discussion about how to get the rolled up ball of thread to avoid falling apart when you release it from the stem of the balloon would be helpful.

This was very nicely done. I'm a balloon artist, and use balloons in all of my shows. This is going to end my shows this year. I'm excited to use this,

I love the idea and effect! I'm not a huge fan of the gypsy thread effect normally, however, I do like this take on it! Especially since you can give the balloon away as a souvenir.
There is a couple of reasons I only gave this 4 stars: 1 - The video quality is not the greatest (not the biggest deal). 2 - The thread does not come with the purchase (which, I know, I should have guessed from this being a download) but what's more, isn't sold on Vanishing Inc's website, so have to pay extra on another site, plus shipping. I'm in NZ, so USD is quite a large amount compared to NZD.
