This might be called the Todd Neufeld Issue for the 4 figures he teaches. Except for John Christianson's "Cruller Flower", Brian Asman's "Bunny", Don Caldwell's "Ladybug" Hat and the Spotlight article on Guido Verhoef, this mag features Todd. His Chicken Costume will get them doing the Chicken Dance. His Baseball Bear uses 5 sizes of balloons. Todd makes a quick 8 balloon Birthday Boy and an easy Woven Ball.

There's a Show & Tell section with a nice Waiter figure made by Ken Stillman, a really nice Panda scene by Fabrizio, a balloon BBQ Grill by Dolbel, a Leprechaun by Nancy Dalton, a Pterodactyl Hat by Fumio, and 3 generations of Johnson twisters under a large woven chicken hat.

The Spotlight is on Guido Verhoef of The Netherlands. He thinks big and he goes for it. Guido's won lots of prizes and built quite a business. His story helps make this a fun and valuable issue of Balloon Magic.
