Nice video... is the roadrunner your own design.

I was lucky enough to see Mike Decker at a magic club last year. He lectured on his balloon modelling, and made some unbelievable stuff. The ones that stand out the most were his 5 balloon motorbike, and a Donald Duck head, complete with moving eyeballs inside the balloons.

Keep up the good work.

magic and baloon modelling go hand in hand man! excellent stuff. i've often thought about starting this myself, or some kind of napkin origami to go along with table hopping.
how long did that actually take you to make?

No, road runner is not my design its from a book! It took about 3 mins to make. The 5 balloon bike is cool, I normaly make daffy duck to sit on the bike as well, You can see that on my website.

Thanks for the ip Tony and keep up the good work.

OMG that's flipping amazing

How the hell do you remember how to make it?
The most complicated thing I know how to make is a rocking horse, and I still need to see the instructional video every time I make it. (I give it as a gift to birthday girls on my kid's show, so I make them at home before I come to perform).

I can hear my piggy bank crying^^
