A Balloon Set-Up is where a "Twister" makes balloon hats, animals, toys and other balloon
creations and hands them out to the excited onlookers.
If mobility is necessary, you may select to have a strolling balloonist mingle among the crowd
handing out a variety of balloon sculptures. It is popular at Hospitality Suites, Restaurants, Receptions,
Cocktail Parties, and any place you want to create an exciting and festive atmosphere.
If your event is for a larger audience, such as fairs, festivals, carnivals, promotions, grand
openings, company picnics, street parties, etc., a custom made - one of a kind - originally designed balloon
cart is used (see picture above), that can keep up with the rigorous demands of huge groups. With it,
inflating and fashioning large quantities of balloon hats, animals and toys, even creating the multi
balloon, high-end sculptures are a breeze. Always a welcome addition to any event.
A spectacular balloon show creating high end sculptures on a large scale to a musical background. Wonderful for all
ages and organizations.
Luis started doing this show in 1991. He wanted to commemorate the vaudeville era in the way balloons were twisted
back then but wanted to demonstrate the advances in the art. The show was originally intended for a children's audience,
but as time went on, senior groups wanted to see this show as well, and it was a huge hit. He now performs the Balloon Jungle
Jam show for senior groups on a regular basis.
It is a 35-minute show set to music that also involves audience participation. At the end of the show, the audience
receives the creations as door prizes. This spectacular show goes over with a bang!
Balloons are fun! Being able to create things with balloons is exciting! Giving the balloons away to smiling children is rewarding! “I believe God blessed me with a gift. A gift that should be shared with everyone. Not only making a balloon creation and giving it to someone, but also teaching others how to create their own balloon sculptures. That way, the joy can be spread faster and further.” We do balloon workshops at libraries, museums, schools and clubs to groups ranging in ages from children to adults. It is a popular activity for church youth groups and scouts. You can choose a two-hour basic crash course, or a full day extended course. We can provide custom schedules depending on your organization’s needs. Keep in mind that this is a hands on activity. Workshop sizes are limited so sign up well in advance.
