A balloon bursts when the surface tension of the balloon's rubber is broken. If tape is put on the balloon and a needle inserted, the surface tension is held together by the tape.
It breaks the balloon, so yeah. Ahh, but if you put some sticky tapes on the ballooon & then insert the needle through the tape..... pop it does not !
why does't a balloon pop with a needle through it?
Blow the balloon first, put a best quality tape on the balloon, then stick the needle where the tape is.
The plastic skin of the balloon will start to melt, and the air inside will suddenly burst through, causing the balloon to pop.
It can not go through because it will pop.
The tape acts as reinforcement and prevents the hole from the pin to become a rip that bursts the balloon. Without the tape stuck onto the balloon the needle prick would allow the rubber tension to rip itself apart because of the air pressure stretching the rubber which would be in tension. The tape stops the balloon being able to split and so it doesn't burst. It used to be a kids trick to put 2 pieces of tape on opposite sides of a balloon and then push a long knitting needle right through the balloon without bursting it.
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".

i can but it will not not pop
at the part where you blow it up Take a piece of tape and place it over the outside of the balloon. Poke the needle through the tape and through the surface of the balloon. The balloon will not pop because the surface of the balloon cannot expand, thus popping the balloon.
ok...flit? wth? but its as simple as getting a needle and pop...
duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh if u sit on it hard

Put the balloon by the red stack and it will bring up the lightening. wait til it aims at the needle and once you get those pop the rest with the needle.
The last section should be a lever with a pin sticking up out of one end, so that when the first end of it is depressed, the pin rises to strike the balloon. The previous sections, including whatever eventually depresses the first end of the lever, are all up to you, and are limited only by your imagination and creativity.
Assuming you are attempting to puncture a balloon and keep it intact, I would reccomend puncturing the balloon near the knot, where the rubber is thick and not streched out. If you are trying to pop the balloon, then I would puncture the balloon where the rubber is thinnest.
