Entertainer / Amusement Innovator

I've been performing for decades as a Family Entertainer, primarily as a cordial Magician or a Balloon Twister.

I charm guests and make them feel welcome as I entertain.  

No embarrassment or hijinks, just FUN personable interaction that leaves a friendly impression.

I use Tricks, Puzzles and Illusions - 

But the MAGIC comes straight from the heart.

Close up walk-around as a magical host or an intimate setting conjuring, I am a competent feature act magician.  Either roaming  a large crowd long enough to entertain everyone, or to hold a small gathering captive for 20 to 30 minutes, I demonstrate a selection of personal favorites.

I have something for everyone.  Material is selected by the audience's age and size of performance.  I can delight children 

(4-6) with a show using larger props and simpler ploys. But for slightly older kids (7-12), I have more clever tricks.  And then for Teens to Adults, I perform more sophisticated Sleight of Hand.

For promotional purposes share my Elephant Puzzles: a clever paper novelty. (ElephantPuzzle.com) 

I offer two formats of Balloon Twisting -

First is for engagements when quick  quantity is needed to saturate a crowd. Every guest has a choice from my list of over three dozen popular figures, using a spectrum of colors, I humorously twist and present them with their unique FUN Bright Charming Souvenir. 

The second are my Balloon Themed Parties, 

when I have time to make more deluxe figures and

use a wider range of novelty balloons. 

(Sorry - Not recommended for younger than 3 years old due to choking hazard.)

I perform some simple Silly Close-Up Sleight of Hand MAGIC to set the mood.  Then I start making Balloon Unicorns for every guest.  The children choose the colors, so they all receive a unique balloon souvenir to take home.  Once everyone has their balloon, I step out of the spotlight and make dozens of other critters to share after I leave.  Rates are based on volume as enough time has to be permitted to make them.

Just a little Pirate Buffoonery before I start my Balloonery.

I perform some simple Sleight of Hand MAGIC as I introduce the Pirate & Mermaid theme.  Each guest gets a Magic Treasure Map.

Then I start making every guest Balloon Accessories !

Mermaid Figures, Pirate Hats, Mermaid Braids and Pirate SWORDS with a whole lot MORE ! 

Shark Hats, Dolphin Hats, Alligator Hats, Monkey Hats, Monkeys with Bananas, Crabs, Fish, Seahorses, Parrots,  and Sea Turtles.

And my three dozen Balloon Figures List is open for requests.

I encourage many other things to do with the balloons, 

BESIDES beat each other with them. 

I host a progressive competition using a variety of PUZZLES.  Ideally 8 participants (can accommodate up to 12).

The first round of play is accumulating points by solving Entanglement Puzzles (I have dozens ranging from easy-peasy to mad scientist.)  Then the group all competes to solve identical puzzles, using several Puzzle Games.  Once the leaders can be determined, it ends with head-to-head challenges, until one can be crowded the Puzzle Champion.

400 wt Stereo PA System with all supportive equipment that is compatible with any sound source OR by Bluetooth connection.  I set up and operate during entire event, but DJ and music selection is YOURS to Command.  Ideal for ANY need for amplification: Theatrical Event, Business Presentations, Supplemental BIG Audio for BIG GAME DAY or a Private Party where you can choose the Music you want to play. 

Introduction to MAGIC is an elementary level mini-course.  

Four classes that begin using common classroom items, then introduces Magician Props, then Money Magic and finally Card Magic. (Instruction pages provided / Needed Props are not.)

CLOWN CAMP is an elementary level mini-course that explores clowning.  Scheduled as four sessions, participants learn a brief history of clowns with a vocabulary of terms. Then are guided through several physical exercises using Pantomime, theatrical pratfalls and an introduction to Juggling.  A session is spent learning how to twist Balloon Animals.  And they get to design a Clown’s Face Paint with crayons on paper. Then instructors or assistants paint the children's faces (or older kids face-paint their own or paint a Harlequin Mask to keep.)
