Okay, you can examine the balloon, but not the rope? It's easy to see how this trick is done. Using
a rope with a suction cup on the end is way too conspicuous for a general audience and is not good
magic in my estimation. You would be most successful performing this trick for children, but for
anyone else...
That's not a suction cup. It's a plastic mount that they have been using on balloons at carnivals and fairs alike for decades. Get your facts right before you start to complain about a product.

Be it suction cup or mount, you still can't tie the rope to the balloon for the trick to work and that is the point. It's an obvious ruse that no adult should have any problem figuring out.
I agree to a point, I figured it out watching the video as with many other magicians will probably can too. The principle may seem obvious to us but because that principle is used elsewhere and I use it all the time I'm just as amazed that adults are that they don't figure it. So it's one of those things I wouldn't worry about maybe once in awhile someone will. If people figure it out too much I would consider the handling. In the video the way the performer shows the balloon getting heavy again and the way he has it do that is a very convincing illusion.
