Show:
In addition to ‘taking requests’, I’ve organized a skill, comedy, and magic show, called The Cow Town Balloon Show. My best reviews are from clients for whom I’ve performed this show.
Highlights include:
#Balloon Alphabet Fun or Emoji Fun(interactive icebreaker/ humor)
#Balloon Tail ( magic/science/humor)
#The Disappearing Bubble (magic/science)
#One handed Dog (showing off)
#Beauty and The Balloon (magic/science/showing off)
#Balloon sword swallowing ( magic)
If you want to have a show, make sure to give at least 24 hours notice, as I’d need time to prepare all needed props.

July 21, 2025Booked him for a 2 hour party and it was amazing from start to finish. The best balloon twister around! You will not be disappointed if you book him. He was enjoyed by every child and did a fabulous job! Excellent designs and high quality work. Would recommend 10/10. Also great communication prior to event and was super helpful with the planning process.

May 4, 2024Our church held a parent’s night out for our community and had Cow Town Twister come for entertainment.
He did an absolutely amazing job and the kids loved every minute. We would definitely have him back.

Thank you for the kind words, for listing the kids’ requests and for the help carrying my gear to my car after. The kids were impressive listeners and I had a wonderful time.

FAQ's
How much do you charge per hour?
In town, usually $120 for 1 hour and $50/30 minutes beyond one that.
Fridays and weekday evenings, a bit less. Holidays and high demand weekends are a bit more.
How fast do you make balloon creations?
24 choices'menu serves10/hour
18 choice serves 13/hr
14 choices, 15/hr
10 choices, 18/hr
3 choices, 25/hr
2 choices, 28/hr
1 choice, 30-35/hr
How many different things can you make?
For long lines, i use a picture menu board with 20 images or less, in classic or holiday theme. However, I have menus with more complex designs. Birthday boys or girls usually get to choose a complex one also.
Do you give discounts?
Active members of the armed forces and war veterans can each receive one significant discount toward an event.
Do you perform at any benefits for free?
One or two cancer benefits. Otherwise, no, because then my rates for everyone else would be higher.
I have been a Central Ohio based entertainer for more than 13 years.
I began entertaining mostly in restaurants, including El Vaquero (Sancus), Skyline Chili ( Hilliard), and Quaker Steak and Lube. Since then, I have done all sorts of events: Birthday parties, Festivals, Fairs, School Events, Church Events, Nursing Home celebrations....
One option that I offer, that sets me apart is to perform The Cow Town Balloon Show. All of my best reviews have been events at which i have performed 'the show'. It is suitable, entertaining, humorous, and educational for all ages. In the show, I highlight all of the balloon industry's most interesting twists and techniques, jokes, gimmicks and spectacles.
What like most about being a balloon man is being around my clients and their guests. I spend and have spent so much time researching and planning that by the time i get to an event to entertain or decorate, it will seem like I am the one having the most fun.
When I arrive at your event, a table would be nice, but not completely necessary. Also, unless it is just not possible, keep me out of direct sunlight, please!

For small parties, I can bring magazines and posters with hundreds of pictures of balloon designs. This can help give guests an idea of what they might really like.

a small table would be helpful.
