Balloons are used at almost every occasions for decoration purposes; birthdays, weddings, parties etc. It was during an experiment with various gases that Michael Faraday invented the rubber balloon in 1824. An English scientist, Faraday contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry with his main discoveries; electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. Balloon modelling features among the use of the rubber balloons where special modelling balloons can be transformed into just any given shape, most often animals. Twisters normally make use of one balloon or various ones to actually reach the desired shape. The actual origins of this practice are still unknown however it was in the book written by Jolly the Clown in 1975 that made balloon modelling well-known.
