NEW! Balloon Menu
From Eli Echevarria, the author and illustrator of "The Ultimate Balloon Twister’s Guide" series, comes one of the handiest tools a balloon twister could ever ask for: The Balloon Menu!
The Balloon Menu is a fantastic restaurant style leather menu featuring colorful illustrations of 18 popular balloon designs. It’s a perfect way for your customers to decide which balloon they'd like while they wait their turn in line, and a great gimmick for twisters who work restaurants.
Instructions for all 18 menu designs are included in "The Ultimate Balloon Twisters Guide, Vol 1," available on both the book and the CD-ROM versions.
One of the most popular features of "The Ultimate Balloon Twister's Guide, Vol 2" is the chapter on obtaining restaurant work as a balloon twister, in which Eli describes the profitable benefits of using a menu such as this.
