The reason it sometimes won't, or won't immediately, is the tape prevents the balloon from ripping. The pop is caused by a very quick rip of the latex. The tape prevents the balloon from popping , or allows it to occur more slowly.
It is because the tape acts as a shield, preventing the hole from becoming a rip which bursts the balloon.
A piece of tape on a rubber balloon acts as a reinforcement so the rubber does not rip when poked by a needle in the tape.
no it's really cool i did it at school and it really works!
firstly neddle should be needle 2nd it is because the tape is like a kind of shield
Normally, When you prick a balloon with a needle the hole the pin makes creates a weak point that continues to tear as the pressure inside the balloon attempts to escape. ( I.E. To equalise the pressure inside and outside the balloon ) That is the balloon bursting... The piece of Scotch Tape, however, holds the area around the pinhole together stopping this tearing and preventing the balloon bursting.

Scotch has various liquid glues, 2-3 epoxies, a rubber glue and a super glue type. -All VERY expensive.
Prepare the balloon by placing scotch tape on opposite sides. You can push the skewer through without it popping but you need to pop the balloon soon after pulling the skewer out because it will loose air. You can make that part of the act--to demonstrate that it is a real balloon and to "hide the evidence".
Scotch neat is a scotch with no ice.
