This is the most feel-good reality competition show. There are no mean judges or deliberately bad acts, just a pair of veteran magicians being really nice and supportive to younger and newer magicians, and that's what it should be all about. Even if the magician "loses" there's no real shame about it, they always seem to be grateful just to have been on the show, and I love that Penn always finds something nice to say about the act even if he wasn't fooled.

02:22 He filled it with helium gas at the start, look at how he connected the balloon to the tube from his left hand. 02:42 he hid that thing in his left hand. 03:00 he's actually stopping it to float since it is filled with helium, that's what Penn means when he says backwards. We thought it would fall but it's the opposite. 03:15 this balloon is filled with a fine sands of iron, this is what the bearing is, a tiny ball iron bearings inside the balloon. Put the balloon on top of a magnetic table to hold it in place. 03:20 his right hand turned on/off a switch under/side of the table to turn on/off the magnets, those magnets are lined up in a row. First magnet off, the balloon moves to the second magnet and so on. That's why it crawling with a move-stop motion. 03:27 is where he use an invisible string and loop it on top of the balloon to keep it in place, a smaller circle-shaped string not wider than the balloon. 04:00 is where he breaks the string, he let go of the balloon and it floats weirdly, maybe because from the excess rubber from the knot or from those fine iron sands that fell to the bottom of the balloon.

I loved this guy. His delivery, banter, and music were warmly charming. I think his "magnetic attraction" for the balloon was "electrifying". But the awkward handling of the balloon with his right hand when blowing it up was actually a cover for adding helium. Nice pantomime routine.

"Threw us for a loop" is another one. The manipulation of the balloon between his hands was done with a common magician's tool, a set of "Loops", which are exactly what you think they are: transparent loops of extremely thin thread. You can even see one if you look very carefully at around 3:40.

This was a very wholesome, pleasant act. I tip my hat for doing something that is both unique and nostalgic. My favorite part of this video was actually not the act itself (make no mistake, it was a top act) but when you said that you were cheating because balloons are already magic and to prove it all you need to do is look at a child's face when given a balloon. Right when you say that the camera cuts to Penn and Teller and you can see how Teller's face lit up at that remark, he was absolutely enthralled by that poetry and so was I. Trying to reignite the spark of childlike wonder is what magic is all about and you completely nailed it.

Thank you. I truly appreciate it when people take the time to write a thought out compliment and honest reaction to my work... and with proper grammar, to boot! I try to bring a sense of theatre to my magic as opposed to the exhibitional "look at this thing" that many audiences have grown tired of. Glad to hear it's being appreciated!
