Learn more at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/skewer-through-balloon Some things in this world just don't mix - dogs and cats, oil and water, needles and balloons. Everyone knows that a balloon's worst fear is a sharp object...even a sharpened, wooden cooking skewer. With a little scientific knowledge about polymers you'll be able to perform a seemingly impossible task... pierce a balloon with a wooden skewer without popping it. Suddenly piercing takes on a whole new meaning!

the oil creates an airtight seal

I'll make it real easy for everyone, even after the skewer was poked through both sides of the ballon there was still no hole for the air to release;)
-
The moist of the skewer keeps it air tight so that it does not release the air
