I once read somewhere (on this forum I think) about "hypnotizing" a balloon. I tried it a couple of times in front of an audience and it was a blast; no pun intended. I start by blowing up a balloon and show the audience how I can make it move up and down and side to side. Keep in mind that I don't tie the end off. Afterwards, I say on the count of three I am going to snap my fingers and the balloon will wake up. After I say three and snap my finger, I let go of the balloon and it flys all over the room. So far, it has worked well. Of course you want to make sure you retrieve the balloon in case there are small children present.
