June 13, 2021Excellent fun for everyone!
Bruce was wonderful! He arrived on time and put on a fantastic magic show that had all of the kids and adults laughing and mystified. Then came balloons and he made a variety of super cool animals (lots of unicorns), but my favorite was the alien in a spaceship and the Harry Potter balloon he brought for the birthday girl. Many parents asked me for his information afterward because his show was so fantastic. Would absolutely book again!

April 3, 2016Fave part of the party!
All the kids attending the party voted Bowey as their favorite part! We even had a bouncy house and face painter... All things were enjoyed, however, the kids were fascinated with Bowey The Magic Clown for over an hour while the bouncy castle sat empty. It was for my daughter's 5th birthday and we invited her classmates along with the next 2 grades of kids. Some had older siblings and all were laughing, surprised, concerned, sympathetic... He hit the mark with it all. And the parents were engaged! It's very hands in and very engaging with the kids with a lot of participation. He makes fantastic balloons and has a great skit! He even made her 2 favorite characters "Elsa" from Frozen and Paw Patrol's Dalmatian "Marshall"... A must have for every party here on out!
Thank you!!!!!

October 22, 2025Outstanding!
Thank you, Bowey for providing the absolute highlight of our girls weekend. Weeks later and my friends and I are still talking about it! Bowey was an absolute pleasure to work with as he is organized, punctual, professional, highly entertaining and kind. He even went an extra mile to prepare special balloon art for the occasion.
Bowey came prepared with puzzles, mind games and his ventriloquist doll, Reggie, all of which aligned perfectly with our interests and we knew would bring a lot of laughs.
Thank you for making the event so special and memorable.
1000/10 would recommend! :)
