those balloon tricks sound fun is there any way you can share them with me?

My son and I tried the hold the sign or balloon that says I am the last one on line and most times it works. I try to give everyone a balloon to hold so someone cannot slip in. I made up slips of paper that say I am on line for a balloon with my name and number on it. I also will make up about 15 –20 simple balloons just to hand out to people who come around afterwards. If I am at a block party I will hand that bag to the person who hired me and then tell people I have to leave but if you go to so and so house she has extra balloons for you.

I am so glad to hear that most of you have trouble remembering balloon models. I also have the ones I know by heart but others I just can't get in my head even when I practice, practice, and practice.  I sometimes try to make a drawing of them showing how to sculpte them and that helps as a visual.
