Far more than dogs and swords!
I focus on more advanced designs that will impress and entertain children at your event AND their parents. Combined with a sense of humor that suits the young and old alike, you're going to get far more value than a corny clown making bad puns and one-balloon animals (that all look like dogs).
Not just kid's parties! My work is fit for many other occasions:
-Company picnics, block parties, weddings, etc.
-Keep customers coming back to your restaurant or bar.
-Custom sculpture deliveries.
Please note due to potential choking hazard, I CANNOT give balloons to children under 3 years of age or any that seem likely to put the balloons in their mouth.

April 13, 2025James was great and I am so glad I was able t book his services. My son’s birthday was a mix of autistic and neurotypical children and James was able to interact with everyone and make them feel special. Highly recommend! Thanks James!

May 18, 2024The kids ALL loved him and his balloons. He's terrific with 4-9 y/o's. Cranked out dozens and dozens of high quality bespoke balloon creations, while keeping the eager (understatement) line of kindergarteners and their siblings entertained. Astonishing.

April 28, 2023We are so glad to have James at our backyard party. Kids are all excited about his cool creations. He made a horse, two octopuses, kitty cat and dog on a lease, plenty of swords, couple of butterflies and a monkey riding on my son's shoulder. He can pretty much make everything, and kids are all surrounding him guessing what he is making next. It is so relaxing for parents to sit around and chatting, instead of having to entertain kids constantly.

Hi there. I take balloons, blow them up, then twist, bend, and fold them into amazing shapes. Want one? People seem to think I'm pretty good.
I provide in-person balloon twist for any occasion, as well as balloon decoration, centerpieces, deliveries (Mother's Day, birthdays, Get Well Soon), and Cup-O-Grams (cups with candy and a balloon sculpture). Businesses can draw attention to their booth at trade shows or street festivals. Wherever I make my balloons, there's always a crowd.
Sometime in mid-2010, I picked up a pack of cheap balloons with a cheap pump at a CVS on a whim. I figured it'd be a nice parlor trick to know. After a few pops, I had a fantastically lop-sided dog. I went online and learned how to make some more animals. When I ran out of balloons, I ordered more. I realized I was good at it and more so, thought it was incredibly fun. Everything I know after that first dog I learned from YouTube or thought myself. Balloons rescued me from the desk job life, providing a new career that I love and never would have imagined. I'm doing something I truly love and try to never forget how lucky I am.
