Richard the Magician/Balloon Artist – Highly Recommended!

We hired Richard for my son’s 4th birthday party, and he was absolutely fantastic! Despite having to reschedule on short notice, he was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made the whole process stress-free.

His performance was engaging, entertaining, and perfectly tailored to the kids, but what really impressed us was how much the adults enjoyed the show as well! He kept everyone laughing and amazed with his tricks and balloon creations. Richard's energy and enthusiasm kept the kids captivated the entire time, and my son couldn’t stop talking about it afterward.

If you’re looking for someone who can bring magic, fun, and smiles to your event, Richard is your guy. We couldn’t have been happier with his performance and would definitely hire him again!

Kids4Christ kick off event

Richard was fantastic! He exceeded our expectations. He was able to keep 50+ engaged. His program was fun, entertaining, and most of all he was able to incorporate Christ and creation to compliment our theme….the greatest Creator. It was a super easy process to book and execute! Richard communicated well before the event and arrived early and ready to go, making for a very stress free event planning. I would highly recommend

House dinner party

We had Richard come over for my husband's birthday dinner at our home. We wanted him to entertain 6-8 little ones while the adults could catch up/talk. He did great! The kids were involved with the magic show. They LOVED all the balloon animals and were so excited about their glitter tattoos! He was on time, communicated well. It was a great time for the kids and adults!

We had an amazing time with Magician Richard

Magician Richard came to our church as part of our national conference to keep kids engaged with his mesmerizing works. He kept the time and kids were entertained each and every minute of his program. kids really enjoyed the time without any distractions, as it was so engaging. Hoping to see him again in the future events too.

Awesome Balloon Artist

Mr. Richard was amazing with the teenagers and everyone present. He did not require any special arrangements, just a space to entertain our teens and bring smiles to their faces. He made balloon animals and shapes that I had never seen before, which was pretty impressive. He arrived on time and did not rush to leave, ensuring that everyone had a balloon before he left, including myself!

Corporate holiday event for famlies

Richard was very pleasant and attentive throughout our event. He arrived early, well prepared and ready to diligently twist balloons for two hours. He was flexible when I let him know several weeks prior to our event that we needed him for additional time. I never saw him without a line waiting for him. He was professional and self-reliant. Thank you, Richard! I look forward to working with you in the future.

We asked Richard's balloons to help us at our celebration, and he did just that! He did not just make cute balloons; he engaged with the guests and showed how much he loved what he did. We loved having him and seeing all of his beautiful creations. Still curious how he created so many cute balloons. He is so nice, genuine, fun, engaging...the list goes on! He is an awesome guy.

Way Beyond Expectations!

Our 6 year old had the BEST birthday party to date having Richard come and perform magic and make balloon animals/figures/etc! There were so many aspects of his service that impressed me and everyone else.
First, he was super professional. Cordial and responsive. All communication was prompt and thorough. He even didn’t charge for the hour and half commute to and from our location! He catered to us on when, how long and what activities we would have at the party and also helped me with deciding how to do the party. We had the party in a gymnastics gym with trampolines and a huge bounce house. Richard was able to keep the 20 kids (ages 3-14) entertained for a lengthy magic show and was also flexible in allowing them to play and then come to him for tricks or balloons! His attire was perfect. He brought everything he needed. His fee was lower than expected. We couldn’t have had a more perfect magician! Even all the adults enjoyed his performance! I would recommend him for any kind of event that involves kids.
Thanks so much, Richard!

Best Birthday Party Money I've ever Spent!!

If you're shopping through potential vendors, YOU CAN STOP HERE! I already did all the legwork for you.

Richard was incredible!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! I
Not only was he (surprisingly) the most affordable quote (I checked MANY sites and read numerous reviews) he was clearly a very highly experienced entertainment professional and gave us so much more bang for the buck than I expected.

He was awesome with the kids and kept them absolutely enthralled the entire time. I literally had to do nothing more than set food out and decorate! He basically entertained the kids the entire party!

Initially, I just wanted to add a little something extra and hire a balloon twister for the kids since we did my daughter's 6th birthday party outdoors at a park, but we got so much more than that! He provided magic, entertainment, facilitated games and made sure every child left with a smile on their face. Hiring Richard was THE BEST birthday party money I've ever spent!!!! He did so much more than just twist balloons, he made the party a huge success! Many of the attending parents gave compliments and asked for his information.

When he arrived (early) he had a plan in hand with an entire agenda that included time to make sure every kid got their own balloon twists (which were EXCEPTIONAL!!) a magic show and a line up of games that kept the kids engaged throughout the whole party.

His communication was fantastic from the moment I interviewed him over the phone, the day before the party, the morning of and even a follow up afterwards. I cannot say enough GREAT things about him or the services he provided. He really went above and beyond and totally exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to hiring again in the future for another event!

Celebration of 5 year old birthday

First off, I live in Louisiana, 8 hours from my daughter and grandkids in Texas. We were not able to be there for my grandsons 5th birthday. Because of Covid my daughter was planing dinner, cake and gifts for him with his 12 yr old sister and 16 yr old brother at home. At the last minute, I thought of a magician! As you can imagine the website had so many. Lucky for me, Magician Richard contacted me. He was very excited about handling this little party. We texted and chatted several times. I immediately felt very comfortable and extremely excited. He wanted to know the names of each one of the kids and something about each of them. I really think he was more excited than me. He understood how important this was to me.
Well, the kids were Uber impressed with his magic. His balloon twisting skills were unbelievable. All 3 kids and my daughter said it was the best time ever. My daughter and oldest grandson kept asking “How did you do that?” I could not have been more pleased with everything. Magician Richard is a very special person. Yes it is a job but mostly it’s him sharing with others his talent. He loves to entertain, see smiles and hear laughter. So, I guess you can say he takes joy in making people happy and loves to see the joy and excitement in their faces.
So, if you are looking for a really special magician. it’s Magician Richard to the rescue! He aims to please!!

I needed a large heart-shaped balloon for a special bday and Richard was great. He designed an 8' balloon for the yard and it turned out beautifully. Richard was so accommodating and quite reasonably priced. He communicated with me every step of the way. It was a great experience and I will definitely use him again whenever I need balloons.

My daughter's 4th birthday party

Richard did an excellent job providing entertainment for my daughters 4th birthday party at a park this last month! We originally hired him for the balloons but he offered to do some magic tricks as well which were such a hit! I was pleasantly surprised at how long he kept the 3-4 year olds attentions as well as the adults! It was the perfect addition to make the party extra special. Not surprisingly all the kids were excited to get a balloon as well.

Great Professional Service!

Our Church utilized Richard’s services along with Juggling entertainers for our recent Fall Festival. Throughout the entire process Richard provided timely responses and remained patient as we worked various aspects on our end to provide a Covid safe environment for our community. The services provided by Richard included; strolling/up close magic, balloon twisting & yard art. There was some mix up on the yard art and would advise anyone who is requesting this service to request actual photos used in past events to determine the best choice for you. Richard also connected our Church with an amazing juggling team that kept the crowd engaged. All in all, Richard was an amazing resource and we will be sure to keep his contact information close as we think of other events for our Children’s Ministry.

Richard with Balloon Texas

I'm sending a sincere thanks to Richard! He was the balloon artist for our son's 1st birthday party. Richard was flexible, the party was supposed to be outdoors but moved inside last minute due to rain. He kindly adapted to the change of plans, and the tight quarters of about 30 folks in a small apt. He showed up right on time (actually a few minutes early!) and instantly became the life of the party. Our guests liked each balloon he made! It was definitely a good time for all. Richard was punctual, professional, personable, responsive and great with the children (of all ages!) I would work with Richard again, and recommend his service as well.

Awesome!

Richard was incredible! I had kids of all ages at my son's first birthday party. He kept all the kids engaged and also did a magic show at the end! 😊

Wonderful Fun!

My daughter's 2nd birthday party was great fun thanks to Balloon Texas! Even the parents were wearing some of the fun balloon jewelry and hats.

Excellent!

My first experience with hiring a balloon artist, it was fantastic! Very friendly, very fast with the balloons, and always smiled! I had multiple families ask me for his information for their own parties later. I highly recommend this company!

FANTASTIC!!!

Richard shared his talent and expertise as a balloon twister at the Grand Opening Community Event for Elitecare ER in Mansfield. The children and adults were excited to see how quickly and detailed his balloon creations were. Great Job!
Will use him again. Thank you Richared.

Fantastic Balloonist for ALL OCCASIONS!

I have had the privilege of working alongside Richard at events where I was face painting. He is a talented balloonist, but more importantly he is very professional and friendly while creating his fantastic balloon art! I am already looking forward to our next gig together!

About

Richard's Balloons, Magicians, Yard Art and More! provides any or all of these entertainment services: balloon animals/objects, face painting, glitter tattoos, illusions, magic shows, balloon decor, juggling, yard greetings, face painting and live characters. We can even provide bounce houses, storytellers, caricature artists and many other fun entertainment to bring life to any party or event.

Additional Booking Notes

The balloon artist and magician will be self contained, meaning no special lighting or equipment is needed. A table and chair is helpful.

Outdoor balloon decor is subject to weather conditions. Wind and heat are the two main issues when setting up outdoor arches and columns. We can setup outdoor balloon decor in most weather conditions, but the structures are not guaranteed when weather is an issue. Indoor balloon decor, such as arches, columns, centerpieces and balloon characters are not affected by weather. The only issue is having enough space to setup and display the balloons.

Face painting is best done indoors where temperature and humidity can be controlled. However, outdoor events can be accommodated. Face painting requires a table and lighting. If this is not available, the face painter will provide their own.

Glitter tattoos can be done indoors or outdoors. The glitter image is usually placed on the arm and will last up to one week. It is so durable that the person can jump in the swimming pool 5 minutes after the glitter image is applied. It generally will stay on in the shower as long as it is not rubbed too much.

Yard art (greetings) require an open lawn or other grassy area that is large enough to accommodate the letters. An area of 25' by 20' is usually sufficient. Yard greetings will be setup after dark the night before the event and taken down after dark the night of the event. For longer periods of time, just ask us (additional smaller fee for longer durations).

Influences & Inspiration

We regularly perform in restaurants and private parties/events, using balloons to create giraffes, monkeys, owls, penguins, turtle bracelets, flower corsages and other cute items. Balloon training has been influenced by artists ranging from fairly new in the business to over 20 years experience, both at the local and national level. Face Painters range from 2 years to over 20 years experience working with other balloon artists to perfect their craft.
We bring in other skilled artists who are very well versed in storytelling, live characters children see on TV, glitter tattoos and caricature artists. Bounce houses round out the mix and provide more fun for kids at birthdays and other parties.
We also offer yard art, sometimes called yard greetings or yard cards. After you select a greeting or saying, our team brings the 18" to 24" letters and graphics after dark to your location. That way, the greeting is ready to go first thing the next morning.
Our newest addition is glitter tattoos. There are dozens of designs to choose from and the different colors available are beautiful. The stencil is usually placed on the arm and will last up to one week.
Our team of entertainers and "event engineers" have many years of experience and strive to enhance your party or event to the fullest. We love seeing the smiles at parties and the additional new business driven to corporate locations as a result of our efforts.
