A selected and signed card is lost in the deck. A spectator chooses a balloon and the magician holds it in his open hand. The magician slams the deck against the balloon and the deck literally becomes "sucked" into the balloon! The balloon is blown up and the cards are shuffled around inside. The magician now pinches the selected card through the wall of the balloon and visibly pulls it through to the outside! The balloon with cards and the signed selection are immediately given out as souvenirs of this truly remarkable magic experience!

Performed by David Copperfield.

Manufacturer Says

Use any ordinary balloons.

Airtight Report this review

When it comes to any kind of magic especially Stand-up magic this is the thing to have. This has been performed by David Copperfield. I have never had the reaction I’ve got from this when I take the cards and they end up inside of a balloon just that has got huge reactions. The cards are actually in the balloon. Yet the best is still to come you reach into the balloon and pull out their signed card out of the balloon visually without breaking the balloon. This is done with a regular balloon. People refuse to believe their own eyes with this one.

great effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 26th, 2003
This is a great effect but the setup is rather difficult. Once you get past it... its pretty much cake from then on. This would make for a great stage trick IMO. I think it's safe to say though... You don't really need this trick as part of your arsenal. I'd get NFW or something.

Airtight Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 19th, 2003
I'm not usually fond of effects from Jay Sankey but I gotta exclude "Airtight". I've heard bad reviews from other magicians on other websites about "Airtight" but that's only because they don't take the time to give it the practice it needs. I mean, David Copperfield performed it! The reaction you'll are amazing! Putting the deck inside the ballon in a wink is more than what the spectators can handle, but pulling their card out of the ballon...their SIGNED card...man, you'll have people thinking you are just too weird for them. Highly recommended from a highly recommended store...Penguin.

Airtight will leave them breathless Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 2nd, 2003
I haven't preformed this much (don't always have a table available) but when I do the spectators are real astonished. I preform it similar to Oz in the Demo Vid.
I'v had some hecklers "you just gave them the 2nd card" but all have fallen silent when I "push" the cards into the ballon, & when I pull the card out of the balloon there's a riot. I'v been asked days later "are you the magician who put the cards into the balloon?"
Jay Sankey is a great inventor & I love his tricks

Impossible Made Possible Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 19th, 2003
This trick is really great. Really... it's one of those tricks you can do the rest of your life... no gimmick needed! I gave it a 4 and not a 5 because the balloons weren't exactly top quality, most of them I think broke... but hey, no biggy! I believe you can buy better kinds at your local party store. This is an unforgettable trick. If you're beyond beginner, and love to leave your audience dumbfounded, get this trick NOW.

A FANTASTIC effect by jay - just very let down by penguin Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 11th, 2015
I absolutely LOVE this effect, and perform it all the time. Therefore you may wonder why I am giving it 2 stars:
The balloons provided are NOT high quality and pop after just 5 minutes around the cards. Invest in some needle through latex balloons instead!

I love matt Johnson but it is clear he has not worked this and no disrespect to him as a performer but his 'improvements' for me are a few steps backwards and if you follow it like he does you will not be able to perform this trick (he flashes many times)

However, this is Sankey at his best -and if practised can KILL -just abit disappointed by penguin.

Absolutely amazing Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 29th, 2015
I have done this trick for 6 years so when this version came out, I was curious to simply see the changes. I must say, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I actually feel silly having performed this trick hundreds of times...I did not spot this method earlier! Amateur or pro... This is a reputation builder and is as close to pure magic ans you can get. Bravo penguin... This is just wonderful.

Worth the money! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 1st, 2014
This is a great trick and worth the money! There is a setup involved, it is a challenge to set up by yourself, but if you can find someone to help you set it up (my 9 year old daughter helps me), then it is much easier. You can YouTube the video and see the performance. You should have an intermediate knowledge of card tricks to do this effect, though.
