Fantastic Balloon Inventions

For kids' birthday parties (ages 3–9 are our sweet spot)
- Every child gets a custom creation. I ask about your theme ahead of time (Barbie, Frozen, superheroes, Bluey, dinosaurs, princesses, Pokémon-style characters, sports, you name it) and twist designs to match. I size the creations to your guest count so everyone gets one.
- Interactive and funny. Kids pick their balloon, watch it come to life, and laugh the whole time. Parents get to enjoy the party too.
- Simple for you. I need a small spot out of direct sun, and that's it. For a Kids DJ or a show, I also need an outlet and about 10' × 10'.
- Packages that fit. Choose balloons only, balloons + music, or balloons + music + giant games, and add a Kids DJ for a dance party.

For schools, PTAs, libraries, festivals and fundraisers
- Built for lines. For big crowds I switch to a quick balloon menu (up to about 75 simple balloons an hour) so the line keeps moving. Smaller crowds get the more detailed creations.
- Paperwork made easy. We carry $1,000,000 commercial general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance naming your school or organization as additional insured (please allow 3 business days). A W-9 and a written agreement are available on request.
- More than balloons. We offer face painting, glitter tattoos, bubbles, giant games, 30-minute magic, variety, and balloon shows, and a Kids DJ or Professional DJ for fun nights, dances, and trunk-or-treats.

Magical Moments: Whether it be one of our Amazing Shows or a fun-filled Kids DJ party, whatever we do, we give it our best and we make sure it's memorable and magical!

I've been a natural entertainer my whole life. It started in 2008 as "Sassafras," a cowboy and train conductor at a wild west theme park, where people came back again and again for another encounter. Then I met my wife, Anna, whose brother owned a balloon twisting company. I joined the team in 2014 and learned the art of sculpting "inflatable legos." I've been hooked ever since.

Over the years our family team has entertained at hundreds of events, from backyard birthdays to festivals with thousands of guests. We've decorated malls and resorts with sculptures as big as a house, and inflated over a million balloons along the way. Anna and I married in 2018, have three kids, and in 2024 we started our own "sister company" (ba dum dum dum!), Fantastic Balloon Inventions, also known as FBI Entertainment. Between us, that's 30 years of entertaining and decorating.

I make a real effort to be at your event myself. My goal is simple: blow your mind with balloon inventions, make you laugh until you cry, and give your kids a day they'll remember for years. Don't believe me? Try to keep a straight face at the party. I dare you.

- Space: Balloons need a small spot away from loud speakers and out of direct sun. Shows and Kids DJ need an electrical outlet and about a 10' × 10' area.
- Outdoors: We're happy to perform outdoors. Shade is a must for balloons, since heat and direct sun pop them. In case of rain or severe weather, the client provides a covered or indoor backup location. We can't perform in the rain, and there are no refunds for weather-related issues.
- Placement: Our entertainment is audience-interactive, so please place us away from a live band or a separate DJ.
- Parking: Please reserve a parking spot within about one block of the setup area.
- Payment: Full payment is due before the event to reserve your date. On GigSalad you book and pay securely when you accept the quote.
- Schools and organizations: COI (additional insured), W-9, and written agreement are available on request. Please send your organization's full legal name and mailing address for the COI at least 3 business days before the event.
