About
I started to play around with balloons around 2007 when my wife got a balloon twisting kit and started making some balloons for a party but she lost interest in doing that. When I saw her doing the balloons, I fell in love with seeing that simple balloon become a dog. I got hooked! From that time forward I wanted to keep doing it after practicing it on our children.
Around the year 2011, I also started to mess around with some magic tricks and I got hooked on that as well after a simple stiff rope mesmerized people as I was learning how to use the rope. Now I use it to make the children laugh.
Recently I started doing Balloon Decor after being asked if I could do it for a Baby Shower. It had 2 spiral balloon columns that mirrored each other in pink, white and lilac pearl. I also did a lilac pearl arch with a pearl emerald balloon inside a big clear balloon. Please see the photo gallery.
On May 11 I will be doing a large "Mickey Mouse" arch which I will upload the photos of it for everyone to see.
As for the tricks, my approach is not to do a "canned" show, but to use a laid back style playing it by ear and just being myself and enjoying making the kids happy. I just go with the flow. That means that each party or event is different and unique.
Some of the tricks I'm doing now are Chinese Linking Rings (they connect to each other in front of the eyes even at close range). In fact I have the children hold the rings and guide their hands to link them. They still don't know how the rings got linked!
I do a trick where a silk scarf is placed into a see-through net and when the net is dropped the scarf disappears and reappears in a bowl on the other side of the room (or a nice distance from the net).
I also do a funny card trick where the birthday girl or boy has to see on a large playing card that's face down. Next I cut a deck of cards into 3 piles after shuffling them. I ask the boy or girl to pick 2 piles to place aside. I repeat this again the the remaining cards. After the last 2 piles are removed, I take the remaining pile and lift up the top card. I show them the top card and ask the birthday boy or girl to show everyone the card that was sat upon all the time. That card and the top card ARE THE SAME!
Most of the tricks I do with participation of the children (they examine the trick pieces).
My children also take part in some of the tricks. For example I lay out 6 cards on a table, then I pick one of the party kids. That kid and my son go to another room so my son can't see what's going on. I have another kid point to one of the six cards. I have another kid from the party go and get my son. When he returns to the table with the cards he PICKS THE CARD THAT WAS POINTED AT!
Doing balloon twisting in Jakarta, Indonesia was really fun and the trip was unforgettable for me and those whom I did the balloons for. I couldn't speak the language but the universal language of balloons spoke for me. Thanks for letting me do the balloons over there. :-)
Seeing the happy faces of children sure gives a warm feeling of joy.

Influences
I was amazed at the street vendors twisting balloons at the Quincy Market in Boston and I wanted to learn how to do the same thing. I now do it and love it especially when I see the happy faces of the children when they play with the balloons I twist for them.
