Most likely i guess. You can probably try swallowing as much saliva as possible first before inflating the balloon.

For me i am more concern about the clean up.

I had that problem too. You can try cleaning the saliva off with a quick wipe of your hand. Comes off quite easily.

cheers.

The theory11 protected forum specifically for Pressure offers various ways to get by this.

I believe Jon Raiker provides some great tips for this. If you bought this from a magic dealer, then here's the post:

- Let the spectator blow up the balloon themselves. Their condensation = less worry. Not to mention this would dissolve any doubts pertaining to a 'gimmicked' balloon, as they personally blew it up.

- Invert the balloon before performing. The powdery inside of the balloon seems to attract much more condensation, then if performed otherwise.

- Take long (but very light) breaths when blowing up the balloon initially - rather than short, rapid breaths. This should reduce the condensation a bit.

- Finally, simply hold onto the balloon a bit longer before handing it all back to the spectator. The majority (if not all) of the condensation should try on its own.



Alternatively, you may wish to justify the saliva there. Seeing as you've just used your mouth to bite an opening in the balloon, it would only make sense that there is saliva on it.
