YFE Balloon Artistry

We offer an uninterrupted time of balloon making, with a list of balloon animals for children to choose for certain parties/events in which there are a lot of children. This is especially helpful with large events, such as Dedham's annual Trunk or Treat that Josef has been apart of since its inception in 2012.

Josef can make many balloons, ranging from simple (like swords and dogs), to flowers, hats, and even Spider-Man and Minions (especially helpful since those will be major characters in movies this year).

Josef also offers a magic show, which is usually 10-15 minutes long. He begins with simple tricks and even teaches one, which almost fools the audience into thinking there isn't much to see. But every trick afterwards builds until the final trick that usually makes children scratch their heads and asks him to "perform the trick again." If you hired Josef for one party, and he did his Magic Act and hire him again for another party and want balloons/magic as well, he will make sure to utilize different tricks for each of those gigs (which he usually does anyway).

Josef has been a balloon artist/clown for over 15 years. He began prancing about as Charlie Chaplin when he was 16, which after a few years of impersonating one of the greatest characters put to screen, Josef created a clown character called Harry. He used this character at his dad's church and in Bible College when he interned at various churches, always utilizing Harry the Clown for special events. He would create animal balloons, do tricks, etc.

After graduating college, many people asked Josef to reprise his clown character at their churches without any form of reimbursement. So, he began Yellow Fun Entertainment to protect his act and anything else he would later do. During his first year in business, Josef realized that many people did not want a clown for their kid's party but simply a balloon artist and perhaps a few magic tricks as well. This is because many of the clients had children too young for clowns, or the clown makeup (while not intentional) can be scary to some children. Being able to put his client's needs first, Josef created the Balloon Artistry Division of YFE in early 2013.

Josef has been a children's pastor, tutor, children's play director, writer, and actor. He fully believes in entertainment for children and families that not only uplifts the individual but puts a smile on their face. It is his aim that with a simple balloon or Magic Show, he can put a smile on someone's face.

Josef really doesn't need anything technical, but rather a good working space and a chair if he's hired to simply make balloons. The chair is mainly to make sure the balloons have a place, as Josef generally stands during much of his time (easier to make balloons while standing). Also, if you ask him for a magic act, please have a small table available for him to use.

If hiring for a large event in which you expect a great deal of kids (anywhere from 30-100), please make sure the space you have for Josef can accommodate a line. At large events or birthday parties, it is easier for children to take turns standing in line rather than sitting around him and raising their hands.
