Disclaimer: Don’t really try this. Its just for educational purposes and if you do try it don’t blame me if blow yourself should the balloon catch fire! BTW, this is my first posting.
Ingredients:
1.) Punching balloon
2.) Can of Butane used for refilling lighters
3.) BIC lighter (not a Zippo)
The idea here isn’t to cause the balloon to explode. Rather, it is to make the butane come out of the end and "shoot" a fireball. This trick is best viewed at night.
1.) Fill the balloon with butane. You must fill the balloon fairly full (but not overfull) so there will be enough pressure when the gas escapes.
2.) Pinch the balloon opening with one hand and aim AWAY FROM YOUR BODY with your dominant hand (the one you write with)
3.) Push the balloon against your body so you make extra pressure to force the Butane out.
4.) Light the BIC lighter in front of the opening (about one or two inches away so you don’t catch the balloon on fire).
5.) Let a small burst of Butane escape. Really, not too much. Start out with small bursts until you get better control. A nice fireball will shoot out.
WARNINGS:
1.) You risk setting the opening of the balloon on fire just by performing this trick, don’t panic, pinch it out with the fingers holding the BIC (drop the BIC).
2.) When the balloon gets about 3/4 empty there won’t be enough pressure even when you press against your body to throw a proper fireball. You risk setting the balloon on fire because the gas won’t shoot away from the balloon but will collect at the opening. Either let the Butane escape or refill.
3.) Butane does react with the rubber in the balloon so, you can’t use the balloon for more than one refill or you risk the balloon blowing up in your face!
4.) If you do this inside (NOT RECOMMENDED) you risk burning your house down but it does shake the walls and rattle the windows.
