February 26, 2026Awesome!
We had Sam come to our son’s 2nd birthday party. He was incredible! He is so talented, extremely hardworking, and very approachable for the kids. He can make pretty much anything requested with balloons. Everyone loved him. We highly recommend using Sam for your events.

February 25, 2026A man truly devoted to his craft and clientele
I've worked along Sam as a fellow vendor for the past 3 years at multiple events where he made balloon animals for children, so I've had plenty of opportunity to see how skilled he is and how he interacts with attendees.
All I can say is that he's been an absolutely BLAST at every event I've seen him in. The kids love him, as his balloon animals are truly works of art. I can tell that he's devoted because of how he works so tirelessly at every event, often to the point where I've rarely ever seen him take breaks.
If you need a reliable balloon artist that delivers, Sam is the man.

December 8, 2025Great Entertainer!
We hired Sam for our corporate sponsored kids holiday party to entertain about 25 kids and their parents. Sam was very kind and friendly to all the children. His magic show incorporated his balloon work and was enjoyed by both children and adults alike. There were a lot of laughs and the kids loved acting as participants. His balloon creations were loved, super cute, and very impressive. Sam was easy to work with and accessible to discuss logistical details about the event. I can't recommend Sam enough for your next event!

What to expect
I am a challenge twister which means I will make whatever the person requests. WHATEVER THEY REQUEST as long as there is the time needed to do it. I am interactive and be silly with children as well as make it an enjoyable experience to watch. People have described it similar to watching Bob Ross paint.
My Balloon Show is a mix of Magic, Comedy and Balloons and is an original, one of a kind show that is the only balloon show in the lower mainland. It is a lot of fun for children but adults can enjoy the moments as well.
If you are looking for line work I have my "Cool and Fast" Menu that I bust out where I make cool designs that take less than two minutes to make. As well as being interactive and fun with the children, showing the flair, tricks and comedy that people would not expect a balloon artist to have.
About
Sam has been twisting balloons for over 7 years. Before Sam learned the unique skill of balloon art, he has always had a lifelong passion for theatre and performance since he was 6, acting in various theatre companies in Ontario and British Columbia, and has done various independent short films in the lower mainland. Sam has over 10 years of child care experience, working in childcare centres across BC, as well graduating from the Education Assistance Program at Langara College, on the Deans Honour Roll. Sam uses his experience of working with children to ensure that children have a positive and empowering experience when Sam performs for them. By combining his talents, Sam was given the opportunity to be cast in a commercial for FujiFilm, as well as had the pleasure to perform for many notable clients; such as UBC, TD Bank, RBC and the CBC. Sam’s passion for balloons and performance is what keeps him striving to be the best that he can be.
Additional booking notes
When I am twisting I come with everything I need. All that is required is an open space for people to sit/stand at.
