I have been wanting to do one of these for a while now! Yours turned out good. What lighting did you use and what did you use to pop the balloon?

I have fav'd this as this deserves to be seen by all.....

Thanks everyone.

@iridecentburden - For lighting I used 3 Nikon SBs all set to 1/64 power or lower. (The lower the power, the faster the flash duration, which helps to stop the action.) I used a 3 second shutter speed in a dark room, and set the flashes up to a sound trigger. Once the trigger heard the popping balloon, the flashes fired.
I popped the balloon with a pin.
