Round Balloons
Yeah, I know that balloons are round. I should have said "Perfectly Spherical Balloons." That's right: no neck, just like your Uncle Louie. Why do you want one of these? Well, maybe you have a special effect requiring a ball that doesn't weigh anything. You could levitate that ball with a small blast of air or an invisible thread or, if you're a magician, use it as a zombie ball. If nothing else, fill a black balloon with helium and really mess everyone's mind at the bowling alley: "Okay, watch me make this spare... Hey! What the...???"
Here's how ya do it.
