Balloon modeling or rotating balloon is the formation of a special modeling balloon into almost any given shape, often a balloon animal . People who make balloon animals and other crooked balloon sculptures are called Twister, Balloon Benders, and Balloon Artists. Twisters often perform in restaurants, at birthday parties, fairs, and public or private events or functions.
Two of the main design styles are "single balloon modeling", which limits itself to the use of one balloon per model, and "some balloon modeling", which uses more than one balloon. Each style has its own set of challenges and skills, but some twisters who have reached intermediate or advanced skill levels limit themselves to one style or another. Depending on the needs of the moment, they may easily move between one balloon or some approach, or they may even incorporate additional techniques such as "weave" and "stuffing". Modeling techniques have evolved to incorporate very complex movements, and very specialized vocabulary has emerged to describe the techniques involved and the creations they produce.
Some twisters expands their balloons with their own lungs, and over the years this is a standard and important part of the action. However, many now use some kind of pump, whether it is hand pumps, electric pumps plugged or run by batteries, or compressed gas tanks containing air or nitrogen. Twisters generally do not fill their creations with helium, because these designs will not normally float. The balloons to rotate are too porous for helium and the design is generally too heavy for their size for helium to lift.

Origins
The origins of balloon modeling are not known. The 1975 book by "Jolly the Clown" Petri praised "Herman Bonnert of Pennsylvania at the witch convention in 1939" as the first balloontwister. Val Andrews, in the Manual of Balloon Modeling, Vol. 1, An Encyclopedic Series , credit H.J. Bonnert from Scranton, Pennsylvania as "the father of them all". Jim Church III stated, "Frank Zacone from Youngstown, Ohio was doing the ballooning during the 1940s and has been doing it for some time." The other candidate for the first balloon twister is Henry Maar.

Tools
Two important items needed to play the balloon:
- Various balloons, usually in different colors. The balloon size is usually identified by the number: the most common rotating balloon size is called "260", because its diameter is approximately two inches long and 60 × inches long. So, "260" is 2ÃÆ'â € "60 inches and" 160 "is 1ÃÆ'â €" 60 inches when blown completely. Although this is the most common measure used, there are dozens of other forms available as well.
- Inflation tool. The most common method is an air pump similar to a bicycle pump, an electric air compressor, and through the mouth. Inflating balloons through the mouth is difficult and can be dangerous. The highly trained and talented twisters, however, can blow up several balloons at a time, and some can even blow up 160s, which are much harder for the mouth-to expand rather than commonly, as their narrowness needs more strength and breath pressure to expand.
General model
Single balloon
- Four-legged animals: Three locking bends. The first forms the nose, ears/face, and neck; second, front legs and body; third, hind legs and tail. Different proportions can be used to represent dachshunds, giraffes, etc.
- Elephant: Hook spinning rod followed by a touch of nuts and two large "circle of elephants", finished with two locking bends like above.
- Monkey
- Bears
- Helmet: Three balloons are scrolling to the size of one's head.
- The sword: Twofold twists make cross sections, with one short bubble and one long forming the handle and the blade.
- Tommy gun
Multiple balloons
- Characters
- Monkey in the palm tree
- Penguins
- Large dog
- Stay hearted
- Octopus
- Flowers
- Masks to wear
- Turtle
