Shhh.....

Nothing gets your heart pumping quite like the sound of a balloon popping. The inevitable "gun shot" like sound.... the shrieks of small children.... Here is a simple way to avoid all that hassle!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Inflated balloon
Scissors

Step 1

Begin by using your middle and ring finger to tightly pinch the balloon just below the knot at the "neck" of the balloon.
Step 2

Next place your thumb and index finger slightly above the knot and simultaneously pull and pinch... this will create a tightened gap between your fingers.
Step 3

Keeping the balloon pinched take your scissors and cut slightly above the knot.
Step 4

Now hold the balloon and release your thumb and index finger to let all of the air out. Discard the balloon.
