Putting a balloon on a soda bottle - it has baking soda in it.

Tip the baking soda into the soda and . . .

. . . a chemical reaction will inflate the balloon!

A knowledgeable young man.

These film cases can do something cool.

You want me to do what? Step on the eggs?!

OK, getting ready . . .

. . . and it works without breaking a single egg!

Can she inflate the bag by blowing into it?

Well, it inflated part-way

Trying again . . .

. . . and it worked! (But there's a secret.)

This is an air cannon.

Balance those cups on your heads.

POOF! The air cannon can blow the cup off Damien's head!

Look how far that cup flew!

More cups are victims of the air cannon.

Filling the air cannon with smoke . . .

. . . so now you can SEE the air coming out of the air cannon!

Look at all the smoke!

A balloon has thicker material at the tip and where you blow it up . . .

. . . so what will happen when I put a skewer into the balloon?

The skewer goes through the balloon without popping it!

Now this balloon has some water in it . . .

It sometimes doesn't work for me but let's try . . . (what do you think happens?)

Now putting water in a zip-seal baggie.

OK, I poked one pencil through the bag . . .

. . . now two pencils . . .

. . . and a whole bunch of pencils and it hasn't leaked!

Then remove a pencil and . . .

This is a terrific show!
