Today I'm going to ruin this fun balloon illusion for you.
The trick is rooted in two things:
1) The balloon is one of those "balloon animal" type balloons that doesn't inflate uniformly, but rather one end to the other. So it's possible to inflate it halfway and have one half be fully inflated while the other half is still deflated.
2) There are two balloons, and an inflation apparatus hidden up the sleeve.
The trick starts with a prepared balloon, with tiny pinholes poked in the very end (opposite the inflation opening). You poke the holes ahead of time, you can even inflate the balloon on stage as part of the trick to show it "holds air." The trick is to stop inflating it right before it widens the part of the balloon where the pinholes are. It will only leak very slowly.
Then you put the tied-shut inflation end into your mouth, and use your tongue to poke the end of the balloon. This will push air "forward" in the balloon, which will start to widen the section with pinholes at the other end, which will then leak and deflate and shut the pinholes. Using this method, you can constantly feed the balloon into your mouth and push the end with your tongue, deflating it in your mouth with the air escaping out the far end. Repeatedly feed it in until you have a completely deflated balloon in your mouth, and then pretend to "swallow."
Swallowing gives you an excuse to dig around in your mouth for the second part, to "find" the end of the balloon again. What you're actually doing is planting a second balloon in your mouth. This balloon is already attached to a pressurized air canister hidden in your clothes. Notice how the woman with no pants is wearing a long jacket. Do everything you can to keep the audience/camera focused on your mouth as you inflate the balloon (which, remember, does not inflate uniformly but completely from one end to the other) and as it inflates draw the inflated portion out of your mouth. Basic simple sleight of hand will keep the inflation nozzle hidden, and keep the end pinched as you "show it off" at the end of the trick.
I hope you are as disappointed as I was.

Considering the balloon, while inflated is longer than 2/3 of her entire body length, I worry about the I.Q.s of people who couldn't tell this was a trick. Did they think it was going to snake through her intestines?

Considering where I've seen some other, non-deflatable, 18-30 inch long flexible cylinders disappear into... I can kind of forgive the assumption. A Little
I feel like this is not the first, or last, time I'm going to remind you that you shouldn't use what you've seen in porn as a metric for... anything, really.Considering where I've seen some other, non-deflatable, 18-30 inch long flexible cylinders disappear into...

I’ve just taken to giving 3 choices, variety of styles of food and price points. It’s worked very well so far.
One I heard recently is, guess where we're going to dinner tonight?! Then when she guesses tell her she's right.
I tried this with my wife before.
"Guess where we're going to dinner tonight?"
"Ugh, don't tell me it's Angelo's again."
"Um... no... no, definitely not."
