The suicide is just the constraint. It's the device that drives the plot. The central thesis is the mystery. How is the mystery preserved beyond the magician's provably final act?

We haven't broached the logistics of filling a large quantity of balloons with a lifting gas, without leaving clues to that fact. Do we have gas cylinders lying around? If not, did someone see us disposing of them shortly before the coroner's estimated TOD? Some balloons are likely to pop during the process; do a few scraps of latex give away the plot?
