It can be dangerous to your health. For info on the dangers of blowing up balloons, search the archives at balloonHQ -
thanks Stretch. ar they any sideshow perfomers on this forum?Comment

Troll the archives and you will find posts by fire eaters, bed of nail practicioners, a flea circus, and excapeoligists. Maybe a block head or two. And a one or more who have enjoyed more than the average amount of time under the needle. I believe the Lizard Man has posted here as well. There is a thread titled Body Modifications, that should prove of interest. Enjoy!Comment

I perform sideshow, among other things, but I don't really know anything about the lungs of steel routine, other than that it is dangerous.
You could try sending a PM to Todd Robbins; he performs the stunt and has posted here on occassion.
Good luck. Be safe.Last edited by Stephon; Oct-17-2004, 11:14 PM.Comment

Considering the info I just read on BalloonHQ being a balloon clown is far more dangerous than being a firebreather... Apart from performing the lungs of chemical pneumonia trick ofcourse...Comment

If at first you don't succeed, you didn't !@#?ing try...
Did you try getting a hot water bottle and blowing it up yet?
And I wouldn't bother with Todd, he'll just give you a sales pitch for the sideshow school.Comment

Silly Dog Tricks
Why would you want to do that trick?
It's nothing spectacular.
Now, if a hot water bottle could blow you up till you burst, that I would call worthwhile.Comment

Actually, that's the trick you get when you screw up...Comment

The Power Team!!! does a similar trick. I believe that they use the lungs of God.
God will never let you down unless it's his will.
Ah, man you've gotta read the team profiles. Even the ones that aren't contradicting are fun.

Jim Rose DVD
If you buy The Jim Rose Circus Show Dvd (or VHS) they do the lungs of steel trick. It's pretty amazing, plus if you buy the dvd you get to see a man attatch something to his penis and lift up an iron with it...gather around the tv kids! Pop in some popcorn...Comment

HI Doctor Eric i have actuly tryed to blowing it up i can oly get it upto full capicty i just cant get the last stage it feels that my head is going to explode thats why i am sure they must be a technique.Comment

Yeah, there's a technique, keep putting air in the damn thing, and wear safety goggles. Your next challenge is to somehow make this entertaining.Comment

Role Model
I think Scot's link to the Power Team might be useful. Check it out.
Are you 6ft tall or more? Do you weigh 260 pounds or more?
If not, don't only rely on God helping you, but try a little doctoring of the darn hot water bottle so it bursts easier.
At the top banner of the Power Team's website there seems to be a shot of the guy blowing up the bottle and it looks gross rather than entertaining.Comment

OK, sarcasm didn't work too well. Let's try blatant honesty.
It's NOT a trick.
I can do it.
You can do it.
Blow. The. Damned. Thing. Up.
If you happen to inhale, burst something internally, and hemmorage to death, that's called attrition.Comment
