This is a great trick you can do either alone or with a friend.

Do you think it's possible to stand on a balloon?

It is!
You'll need two balloons which are only half-inflated, so that the air inside has lots of room to move.
Put the two balloons on the floor and lie a sheet of perspex over them.

If you haven't got perspex, don't worry. Anything flat and smooth, like piece of board or wood will do, but definitely not glass.
Now you can get on!

Do it slowly, so that your weight evenly distributed.
You'll see that the balloons have expanded and spread out underneath the perspex to take the weight.
Give it a try - but don't blow it!
