There is so much more to know about balloons other than the “common” twists that many magicians use in their birthday parties.

In this episode, Mark Byrne tells more than I ever knew about balloons including some of the history of balloon twisting, some of the “names” in the balloon world (past and present), balloon conventions, care and feeding of balloons, and so much more. This episode is really a “graduate course” in balloon knowledge.
