We first met Tony the Balloon Guy at a minor league baseball event. Our young son was enthralled by his balloon making skills and jokes, returning every inning to watch him work. Our organization hired him for an event, along with Face Painter Phyllis, and later reviews revealed he had been the highlight. The following year, we hired him again and this time asked him to do a magic show set as one of our primary performers. Tony the Balloon Guy has never disappointed his fans - young or old. We highly recommend Tony the Balloon Guy for any event you might have!

Absolutely outstanding experience! Tony was the life of our party. Very entertaining and engaging with the little ones (and grown ups, too;) ) Everyone had a blast and our kid still talks about that "funny balloon guy". Tony was a delight to work with as well. Keeping his info handy for future events. Thank you for making our event so much more memorable!

Tony really set the bar high! He was super friendly, very entertaining and most importantly, engaged with the kids. Everyone loved him (adults and kids!) and we are definitely going to be using him again! Thanks so much Tony!
