Pop and Twist Balloons

This isn't your average balloon art! As a performer and teacher with over 15 years of experience, my clients can expect a dynamic and engaging performance that captivates audiences of all ages with interactive balloon artistry. I create intricate hats, costumes, wrist wearables, and custom sculptures live, ensuring every guest leaves with a unique memento made specifically for them. My services can even include interactive games, and even some lessons, making events truly memorable. Additionally, I offer awe-inspiring giant balloon sculptures and elegant decor, such as arches and table centerpieces, perfect for transforming any event into a spectacular and unforgettable celebration.

30-year-old balloon artist Stone Johnsen takes his art form to a whole new level by creating giant-scale, life-like, and interactive balloon sculptures, as well as jaw-dropping balloon art for people of all ages! Stone's sensational balloon art has dazzled Hollywood celebrities and performers, and has been the highlight of birthday parties, corporate events, fundraisers, festivals, conventions, and other events all around the globe!

Stone started his journey in the world of balloon art when he was only 9 years old. Over the years, what started simply as a fun hobby transformed into a rewarding career. At the age of 15, he started taking his art form seriously and began booking birthday parties and other events in and around his hometown in Massachusetts.

After graduating high school, Stone began traveling around the world twisting balloons and bringing joy and amazement to those around him.

Although Stone is currently based out of Amsterdam, New York, he continues to travel worldwide to entertain guests at all sorts of festivals and conventions!

For each event, I arrive anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes early to check in with a coordinator/point person and do a brief setup of my balloon workstation. It is up to the event host to provide a reasonably sized space for guests to line up to receive a balloon. If the event is outdoors, it is up to the event host to provide a covered area for performance.

For larger events, I do have a small, personal PA system to to amplify my voice to a reasonable and non-intrusive level to ensure guests in a larger radius can hear me well.

For balloon decoration such as arches, columns, tabletop decor, balloon walls, or large balloon sculptures, I create these on-site prior to the event. I will require access to a large, temperature-controlled indoor space, as well as access to electrical outlets for balloon pumps to inflate the balloons.
