Anybody who has experience of this effect? What I would like to know is if it rises suspicion to the method. How close can it be performed?

Four balloons, three of them are popped, the one left is predicted.

Excellent effect for family and library shows. I bought one from Café member "Bill From Oregon" who took the basic prop and improved it greatly so it now involves BUGS, and there's even a kicker "on the back" punch finish. LOVE it. In its basic form straight from the box, it's still strong in the right audience.

This can be performed 6' from the spectators face. It's mechanical, very clever, and never fails. If you're looking for this type effect, I highly recommend this prop.

Thank you very much. That was the information I needed. I think there is some potential to work with using this prop as long as the method is well hidden.
