Pickles - If you do think about Don's DVDs then I would stick to the earlier ones. On the last couple he still has fantastic stuff but he is using more and more specialty balloons and he doesn't seem to be enjoying the taping theway he used to.
A fantastic DVD that is 3 or 4 hours (so long they used two disks) is by Gilbert Adams. I don't remember the name right now but it runs about $40 and it is packed with useful hats and other tidbits.
One thing to remember is that once you can create an effect store that knowledge in your mind. A three bubble roll through has all kinds of uses, as does the simple act of bending a balloon to add shape. This will help you as you try to create something new on the spot with 50 kids waiting in line behind the culprit.
