How to Use the Marker, Magic Pipe, & T Snippet in Balloon Folding

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Jeremy here on behalf of Expert Village. Here to talk to you a little bit about common balloon accessories that you might use while twisting. The first is, not the balloon pump we already talked about that, is actually the sharpie or felt marker. Don't use a water variety, a water variety will just bead up on top of the balloon. Sharpie, you can quickly and easily draw a face on it for those children who aren't into impressionist artwork they need more detail than you can put on there. The sharpie, the nice thing about it is that they're cheap the bad thing about it is the ink actually runs real easy on there. Can get on fingers can get on other stuff. They do have balloon specific markers, felt markers that won't rub off like that they're a little bit more expensive. I personally use a sharpie, haven't had any trouble with it. The next item is actually voltex's magic pipe which you use to put stuff inside of another balloon. This is the magic pipe itself, it's hollow inside you can see those little round thing which when you turn it upside down it actually has a little point which pops the balloon. Now I'm going to go ahead and stick just a random article inside the pipe stick the pipe around the edge of the balloon stick the pipe upside down and whala you have yourself a random article inside your balloon. And you can actually use this with beads for making tails on a rattlesnake, that sort of thing. The last equipment I don't use personally, my wife who also does balloons uses it quite often, is called a t-snippet you can get at tamyra magic. You can use this to actually pop a balloon when you have too much. And if you hold either side then it doesn't do that actually it has a little hook to keep it there too but like I said I don't use it there's another way I'm going to teach you later that is actually a better way of breaking it I think.
