Thank you. I've seen other videos online on how to mouth inflate, and a couple were informative, but they gave no real way to build up to blowing up a 260. So again. Thank you.
Mr. Floyd, I love your videos. You're an amazing twister and master teacher. Could you please explain how to tear off balloons and also how to tell if balloons are old? I'd also like to know the your recommended first 10 designs to learn. Keep filming, we'll keep watching!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I guess because it's entertaining when you blow it up with your mouth. For a pro it's probably much faster during the performance, too.
Get a normal pump, put the end of the balloon around the needle right before you get to the screw part. The put it on the pump, push down on the end of balloon. And then pump it up. Just a needle that are use for balls, like soccer balls. And use a small hand pump.
My first two attempts at mouth inflating ended up with a popped blood vessel and almost passing out. Mike you guys that have been doing this for do long make it look so easy.
You know sneaking in a ask the balloon guy video 10 minutes before midnight (est) still counts as late in my book. Although PST is only nine you got to know how big is your audience.... Dear God it's tomorrow in Japan!
If you are going by Toy/Funtime Foxy on Google, look it up as "Toy Foxy", if you look it up as " Funtime Foxy" then you will get a completely different character, which, by the way, can you also do?
Learn the basics first, like tying a knot, the lock twist, and the pinch twist. From there you should learn how to make a dog and a sword, as I find those to be the main things that are requested. Just pick a out a couple things at a time to learn, and perfect them. Get good at a few things rather than learn many things but make them poorly.
Thanks to you I could make it :) I had to train day after day , then suddenly I forgot my pump , i tried to inflate the 260 with mouth , and I made it , this achievement can be called happiness :) Thanks
I'm a new twister and I use a pump - not even going to try mouth inflating! Once at an event someone commented to that effect & before I could reply, someone else pipped up and said (I suspect she was a nurse or something), and said, "No offense but it's better for US if she uses a pump... at least if this balloon pops, we don't have to worry about germs exploding everywhere!"... that's stayed with me & now I use that excuse when some smartty pants points out that I don't mouth inflate!
hey your lesson helped me alot, i do have a problem now, whenever i get about 3/4 of the way i cant get it any farther and i actualy have the balloon poping instead of enlarging so i dont think i blow to soft. What am i doing wrong here ?
I have a hand pump, but my balloons still refuse to inflate. No matter how high I have it on the nozzle or how hard I hold it on there, it’s constantly deflating. It feels like I’m fighting the balloon the whole time and it just won’t inflate past a certain point. I stretch the balloons and warm them up, they’re brand new and I don’t see any holes. Can anyone give me some tips?
I have a question. Or 2. How long do balloons actually get it doesn’t matter twisting or just your regular long balloons. I always wondered how long is the longest balloon that is sold on the balloon market. Is it over 6 feet long???? Also.... do they make half shape balloons in latex, or are they just Mylar. I would like to know. People have told me that no. Their is no such thing as a half shaped latex ballon that they only come in Mylar but is this true or do they make specialty balloons in latex that are half shaped. Please let me know these question if you have the answer. The first is about the long balloons and how long they actually can get we are not just talking about the balloons that you can make animals with I am talking in general. How long do they go.
Your environment is probably humid/your hands are wet or sweaty. Even the smallest amount of moisture on the balloon or hands causes friction while twisting which will translate to squeaking. Twist balloons in air conditioned room/dry your hands with a little baby powder. makorsevents.com/balloonsculpting
I can only blow round balloons. But when I use pumps for long balloons I still need 5 or more pumps to inflate it. Not like those people who can inflate a balloon with 2 pumps.
Thank you for the way you started your video man. Your a great educator I can only maybe add that I wouldn't mind if you slowed down your presentation because it in my opinion is all the more worth the time it would take if you took it a bit slower. Thankyou again for the help and great safety standard approach over all!!! :)
Actually, I started to twist (and made it more fun for me) after I tried (and got the technique ) blowing up a couple of 260s which I got from a great twister. After that bought 4k of balloons and started to twist, then twist and twist :D Mouth inflation just rocks ;) BTW. Love your designs
Yes:- The Way of life you gotta have some nails, if you stick your nail in one side, or even use your teeth to get a little slit in the balloon (make sure you pinch off where you want to keep air in) as long as there's a slit or cut on one side, even a quarter of the balloon, the rest should rip right off by pulling.
Ruptured a blood vessel in your eye? NOPE! I'm out.
Evelyn Alvarez I'm assuming he ruptured a blood vessel because he blew too hard
Lol Ikr. I was about to start trying to blow it up and he was like "Ruptured a blood vessel in my eye" and I was like nope...
0:27 Yay lawyers
0:51 Great training, for anything that involves breathing.
1:48 You deserve a reward sir.
Super informative, and it's great that you had that disclaimer. Using the pump is so much better than a doctor's visit haha.
***** seriously
+KristenCorpse Yes ha-ha! I am trying to build up my lungs. My goal is to blow a 260 after one year of balloon blowing exercises ha-ha!
Thank you. I've seen other videos online on how to mouth inflate, and a couple were informative, but they gave no real way to build up to blowing up a 260.

WHO NEEDS TO MOUTHBLOW WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE A PUMP?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I guess because it's entertaining when you blow it up with your mouth. For a pro it's probably much faster during the performance, too.
@@ichifish I don't have one so ;-;
i have a pump but i can inflate regular round balloons by mouth
When your pump brakes and you don’t have one
but he says he uses a pump first to stretch it out@@HelloPlays637
I still do not understand cause I do not have a balloon pump
Get a normal pump, put the end of the balloon around the needle right before you get to the screw part. The put it on the pump, push down on the end of balloon. And then pump it up. Just a needle that are use for balls, like soccer balls. And use a small hand pump.

Where do you get ur balloons??
Hey I have a question. Can you make a fixed Mangle, also known as Toy/Funtime Foxy?
If you are going by Toy/Funtime Foxy on Google, look it up as "Toy Foxy", if you look it up as " Funtime Foxy" then you will get a completely different character, which, by the way, can you also do?
What a straight and great advice! Thanks you.
Michael, you are a wealth of information-and funny at the same time. If I had a son, I'd want him to be just like you. Granny Kathy

Hi, i am 10 years old this year,i want to be a balloon artist,do you have any tips for me?

Ninja_ Boy13 sure, now where did I put it...
I don't get how do the balloons don't squeak so much when you twist them. When I do it, it is deafening. can you please tell me what's the trick?
Your environment is probably humid/your hands are wet or sweaty. Even the smallest amount of moisture on the balloon or hands causes friction while twisting which will translate to squeaking.

if I blow it up with my pump and deflate it over and over again will it help me when I try to blow it up with my mouth?
