How to Blow Up Animals A Beginners Guide to Fun With Balloons

Lon Cerel, the “world’s fastest balloon animal maker,” has written a how-to for all of us who wish we could make poodles, elephants, and such out of balloons the way Lon and some of his fellow artists do.

Here, in a highly-illustrated book that captures the fun of Cerel’s standup comedy-with-magic-and-ballooning act, are step-by-step instructions covering everything from how to correctly inflate the balloon without inflating your cheeks, through numerous rubber creatures, all the way to a few hats you can actually wear if you don’t mind being made fun of.

Featuring a “Forewarned” by the inimitable Henny Youngman, Cerel’s book comes with a coupon for 20 free balloons to get you started.

The book also features easy-to-understand illustrations cover to cover for all of the balloon sculptures.

Lon Cerel’s How To Blow Up Animals: A Beginner’s Guide to Fun with Balloons makes a great birthday gift, anniversary present, or the perfect gift for that person who has everything!

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Balloon Animals
I had an instructional balloon animal book growing up and I wanted to buy my 11 year old niece a book & balloons for her birthday. This book has half-way decent written instructions but has lousy illustrations. He shows you how to make a few animals including a dog and then explains how to make several animals variations from the basic dog balloon shape. [...].

2 Stars Not Inside
I bought this book because of the pictures on the cover. Turns out the animals I wanted to make were not in the book. This book didn’t help me at all.

5 Stars Guiness Book Balloon Artist
I’ve seen this guy perform! Lon Cerel is a genius performer and has written this book with his same flair and humor. He’s in the Guinness Book for the fastest balloon-artist; this book represents training from the best possible source!

5 Stars Great Book, Great Balloon Artist!
Lon Cerel is a great balloon artist and it is perfect that he has a book to help other people learn this difficult skill. I have personally received many of Lon’s creations. He is truely amazing and the book “ain’t so bad either”.

5 Stars Great for entertaining the kids! Great gift for young “performers”!
Perfect book for having fun with the kids on a rainy afternoon, or for being the hit of the kids birthday party… for that matter, it’s fun for adults, too! The kid in all of us likes ballon animals! Shows clear illustrations of HOW TO, plus a fair amount of humor to go along with! Lon Cerel is one of the top balloon animal makers in the country (as well as one of the busiest magicians) and he knows how to teach it better than anybody!
