Hi Graham,

WOW, a great list, are these all for sale, or are you just showing off I thought I had quite a few, but no-where near as many as you.

No just showing off :lol:
No to be honest as I said I have lost track of what I have & have bought  some twice as a result so just trying to get myself in order, just realised I forgot to put David Grist's DVD's on the list so will amend it now.
If anyone has any DVD's CD's or tapes not on my list I'm always looking to add to my collection.

At least when there's nothing good on TV (like most days), you are well stocked. Which ones would you say where beneficial? I mean, worth their investment and gave you some great ideas, designs to use in your balloon work?

similar question to Joey - out of those which would you recommend anyone to use to build up their entertaining skills as opposed to their modeling skills?

Oh dear, it's always difficult to recommend any DVD's as were all so different in what we like.
If I get something really small from each one then I'm happy.
The only one I'm comfortable about recommending is the Ken Stillman Superhero's, they are very good.
If you can say what you're looking for in a DVD I may be able to point you in the right direction.

As for which one would help with entertaining, Dan Craine has a performance on that I can remember & there is some performance on the Norm Barnhart but don't forget these are American DVD's. The best way to find yourself for the entertaining is to go out in front of the crowd & be you. It's better to be in front of an audience at a fete, fun day, shopping centre first as you will only have a few people at a time focusing on you which can be quite daunting at first before tackling the theatres & schools where all the focus will be on you from the start with the whole audience. Starting to feel like I should have put this in the topic of the month

Just realised that I've not added my full set of 14 John Holmes DVD's, now then behave  not those John Holmes but John Michael Holmes the balloon twister from America, it's only taken me about 15 months to get them since buying them in America last year.
Just going to edit them on now.

Graham just becarefull putting a list like this up some one could say you are doing copys lol

I do have 2 copies actually, I bought twice Jeanine Von Essen 2.5 & John Michael Holmes Quick & Easy Balloons.
That's one of the reasons for doing the list so that I can take it with me to refresh my old grey matter.
So I will sell these on at one of the days.

You can't watch them all at the same time! Can I have some pleaseeeeee
Kev

Graham, what size balloons are the ones you get inside? I saw it once at Luton Mall 1 year ago and it was hilarious. Who sells them?

Just going to update the first post on this topic as I've just added four more DVD's to the collection;

Edd Chee, Hat Attack The Sequel
Don Caldwell, Mad Hatz & Wild Wearables Vol 5
Jimmy Leo, Safari Time
Ken Stillman, Fantasy Princesses

Graham Lee

I've got a tape of Don Caldwell: Things that go pop in the night.  It's for making Halloween monsters
I will try to find it on DVD cause my tape reader is out of service.
I've got Fabrizio's DVD: Techniballons (in french), it's a mix of his DVDs with hats.

Graham,  did you order your dvd through diamond storm??
