An 18" needle with a ribbon and a transparent balloon are shown. The spectator is adked to inflate the balloon while the magician cleans the needle with a cloth. The magician then proceeds to thrust the needle and ribbon through the balloon without popping it! He even stops half way through to show the audience. Once the needle is pulled completely through, the balloon is tossed into the air and pops when it lands on the needle. Great for kid shows. ( Don't forget your Needle Thru Balloon Wand Holder to store your needle.) Needle Through Balloon comes with 18" needle, cork, 12 balloons and instructions.
