Go to Mythbusters on the Discovery.com website. They tried it and should have a formula

Thousands. See Mythbusters -- they did this with a 4 or 5 year old and it took hundreds of baloons to get any kind of lift.
Good idea though - that would be cool to float around in a balloon chair!

I'd say about 2,000 average sized balloons, or 1 big giant one!
