(Based on 1 review)
Rick Lax, creator of Vertigo, brings an impromptu balloon effect that transcends logic and expectation. You show an ordinary balloon and blow it up. With a twist and a pop, the balloon VISUALLY and AUDIBLY detaches into two pieces - one in each hand. You slowly bring the pieces side by side, then fuse them into one, unaltered balloon - handed out for complete examination immediately.
A simple, powerful effect that you can perform at a moment's notice.
Detach uses NO special gimmicks and can be handed out for COMPLETE EXAMINATION. You start clean and end clean. There are no funny movements or awkward misdirections. It's as straightforward and natural as magic gets. In this DVD, Rick Lax takes you step by step, teaching you all the details and subtleties that make Detach look so brilliant and deceptive.
Bonus Effect Included! A quick, perfect opener for Detach.
Also included is an astoundingly simple balloon multiplication effect! Take a single balloon, blow it up, and produce a handful of balloons as it deflates. Rick's balloon multiplication is the perfect opener for Detach and the rest of your balloon magic. With Detach, you'll learn everything - all you need is a balloon and you've got a miracle ready to be performed at a moment's notice!

PROS
People love to be entertained. Also, people like variety. I know that there are some people who have very successfully entertained crowds with nothing but a deck of cards. However, I think a bit of variety can increase the entertainment value of a set. On that note, this effect is a very nice variation.
The method is tremendous and the instruction is very good.
Setup is done during performance and there is no cleanup.
The difficulty level is pretty easy, with a bit of practice.
CONS
He doesn’t really talk about incorporating the effect into a set, and while you can just do this effect stand-alone, I think it would be better in between other effects. See the Suggestions section for ideas. However, he does teach a balloon production which is a great way to get into the effect.
VERDICT
A great little trick. Great method and great instruction
