Vancouver - Along with all the sporting events of the 21st Winter Olympic Games, there was a very interesting program of events at the Cultural Olympiad. Street entertainers took many outdoor stages to perform live in downtown Vancouver.
One of the focal points was Robson Square, right outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, where many cultural events were going on.
One night, right between two showers on rainy west coast, a man with balloon showed up to perform live. First he let some people from the audience strap himself up very tightly and then freed with ease afterwards. Old trick, one might say, but that was only a short warm-up.
He opened up a suitcase and took a balloon out and inflated it with the inflating machine. He was talking with people who gathered to see what happens next.

Rubber ball - the main prop of the street performance.

He then took three people from the audience to help him in all his tricks and set up the stage of the performance by securing the ground under the balloon in order to prevent it from early blowup - he used some pieces of fabric, cloth, towels... He also thought about comfortable ground for people who soon would be jammed on small surface next to him, with their shoes taken off.

The people's faces say it all!

When the balloon was inflated, he presented it to the whole audience with his helpers. Holding the balloon with air inside he started to make his way into the balloon through the hole, with his head first. Having had to pay a lot of attention not to let the air out, he was moving into the middle and was doing excellent job on that part of performance. Under inside pressure some air was obviously leaking out from the balloon when he was pushing himself in so his helpers were using the inflating machine to replenish missing air and keeping the balloon at its original size.

Then he let a woman from the audience take his pants off, it was definitely too hot inside for him. But during this operation he managed to secure the balloon hole's edges around his waist to still prevent air from leaking out.

Soon he found himself inside of the balloon and tied up (or somehow closed?) the hole he was using to get in. Then he turned the balloon "upside down" the way the hole was now at the top of the ball. For a short moment he opened the hole and peaked out to have a short conversation with the audience with his head outside - still wearing his audio equipment he was talking to people with. Did he need to breathe with fresh air for a while after what he had already done? No-one knows..., that was his secret.

While talking to people from inside of the balloon, he invited a boy from the audience and helped him get into the balloon the way he did before. Soon after, he took the boy's mom to join her son inside of the rubber ball. He was excellently instructing people working with him on that part of the performance.

One person in..., apart from himself.

One person after another and soon he helped 5 more people, besides himself into the middle of the inflated balloon - two bigger children (a boy and a girl), a small size woman, medium size woman and average size man.

When it was crowdy enough with people inside of the rubber ball, he said that the right moment came to blow the balloon up. People inside of it covered their ears expecting a loud explosion. So did the people outside who stepped a bit aside when awaiting for the unknown. The woman helping him from the outside inflated the balloon a bit more rising excitement of the next moments to come...

Five plus one - now let's do it!

Then he punctured the balloon from the inside causing quite a loud explosion that sounded like two big size vehicles colliding with significant speed. The sound of explosion was heard on the other side of Robson Square. For some who didn't know what the reason of the explosion was, it sounded as though something really wrong happened on the square. But security guys were smiling as they had already known he Balloon Man performing before and were not reacting at all.

Pieces of rubber flying at the moment of big explosion.

Then all the pieces of rubber went flying and after a short shock that people inside of the balloon experienced, everybody started high-fiving each other.

High-fiving and bringing smiles to people's faces.
