I've read many books on the subject of balloon sculpting, or balloon twisting as it is known in the business, and it amazes me how this book got printed! Very little in any of the books by this author actually looks like what they are suppose to be! He relies on the imagination of the recipient to make it become what the asked for in the recipient's eyes. I find that the balloons are so generic that it could not help the person buying it become anything more than an amateur! His credit of working with the circus creates such an expectation that the results are disapointing!
