BALLOON MAGIC 260Q ADVANCED by MARVIN HARDY

The purpose of this book is to introduce more experienced balloon artists to some new, more advanced figures and techniques and hopefully awaken a new desire to experiment. The basic twists and techniques described in my first book, Balloon Magic 260Q Figures, are referred to in this book, but the instructions aren't repeated. So, you'll probably need to refer back to that book.
Advanced Balloon Magic 260Q Figures is organized by categories, so you may want to skip around, making the figures that most interest you first. Of course you'll need to practice the different figures, but that's part of the fun. Before you know it, you'll be creating the figures in this book - as well as many of your own.
