1.  The  Importance  of  the  Ballon  Effect  in  Sports.
   It is clear that if one were able to control the "ballon effect"—and trigger it at will—it would revolutionize sports. This applies not only to the long jump but to any sport discipline involving an athlete lifting off the ground. Such disciplines could include the long jump, running events of all distances, gymnastics, and figure skating—and perhaps even team sports. In these contexts, the balloon effect would serve to increase stride length, conserve the athlete's energy, boost their speed, and assist in the execution of gymnastic maneuvers. "Sport  Applications" =>. But how do you do that?
   It was clear that this could somehow be achieved, since dancers possessing this ability demonstrate "ballon" in every performance—not merely once in a lifetime by chance. Yet they themselves could not explain it: "It just happens, and that’s that; we don't know how it works ourselves, and we can't teach anyone else." Furthermore, we were convinced that the athletes of Ancient Greece knew the secret of "ballon" in sports and harnessed its potential. And we are not the first to explore this.
2. Using  the  Patch.
   The idea of how to do this was suggested to us by medieval European alchemists. In the book *On the Holy Trinity*, it is stated...
   "However, if one were to sew it [the Philosopher's Stone] into fine undergarments and wear them fitting tightly against the body—so that the stone might be better warmed—one could ascend into the air to any desired height. To descend, one need only slightly loosen the fit of the garments against the body."
   We did not possess a Philosopher's Stone; however, we wondered: could our projection powders—if not induce levitation—at least assist a person in demonstrating the "ballon" effect?
Based on our own sensations, we selected an approach in which a small packet of the powders was placed against the subject's back, in the vicinity of the lowest vertebra.
   The results turned out to be remarkable.
   The problem, however, was that if such a packet was worn continuously for several days, the powder would spoil—becoming dull and gray—and lose its properties. We were unable to restore its qualities. Yet each packet of powder required two "dry" fasts of four to five days each.
   For a time, the situation seemed irresolvable. But then we discovered that the red powder possessed the property of imparting its characteristics to other substances.  =>. The properties of the powders transferred to ordinary salt. Consequently, we later used small packets of salt to achieve the "ballon" effect during jumps.
3. Transfer  ballon  ability.
   The following methods are available for activating the ballon ability: :
   - The athlete's specialized training
   The method is quite long.
   - Use of packets containing red projection powder, or packets of salt that have been in contact with a packet of red projection powder.
   - Sexual  relations
   The transfer of the "ballon" ability is likely possible through a third party, which would allow for the avoidance of homosexual contact.
   The first and second methods may reinforce one another. The most effective is the second method—the use of small packets containing either "projection red powder" or salt. Notably, ordinary salt produces the same effect as the packets of projection red powder themselves. If a salt packet is removed from the body, the ability to perform the "ballon" technique persists for several days. Consequently, it is impossible to determine whether or not an athlete has been wearing such a packet.
