Description
Showing a tray with three inflated different color balloons a card is selected and replaced in the deck with the magician asking a spectator to select one of the balloons. Before the statement can be finished the left hand balloon shoots into the air. The magician now says “You have a wide choice of two balloons to pick from” and this time the right hand balloon slowly begins to fizzle and completely deflate. Keeping his composure the magician states “I see, you have chosen the white balloon”. Suddenly this balloon bursts revealing the selected card inside it and at the same time two flags pop out of the top and a banner unfurls below with a sign labeled applause. This effect was purchased in 1989 at which time the price was $465.00. After its arrival it remained packed and never opened. An attempt to wind the mechanism resulted with the winding arm going loose without the ability to test the unit. This includes 4 pages of illustrated instructions. Now that you know the story it is being sold in non-working as is condition.
