How to put a toothpick in a fully inflated balloon with out it popping


effect: You take a balloon, fill it up with air, and tie it. You take a tooth pick and poke it in the balloon. Then you push it totally through the balloon so it is inside the balloon. The balloon has no air rushing out of it and it can be inspected by the audience.Secret: You use a normal toothpick and a normal balloon. This is not set up in any way. You fill up the balloon in front of the audience, but when you tie it, you will notice, after you tie it, there is a part of the balloon that has little air in it. This is right next to where you tied it. So gently poke the toothpick through there, and push it all the way through. There should be no air coming out, if there is, cover the hole up with your finger for a few seconds and it should go away. The toothpick can even be marked or anything. You just need to know where to place it. After, pop the balloon and show them the toothpick. Go confuse your friends!
