We visited at Navy Pier and had a pretty good experience.

But the piece itself turned out great! She did like to talk about politics, the weather, and some health issues, which made us needing to smile a little awkward. My son did pretty well sitting for about 15min before he lost interest. The whole caricature took about 30min for the three of us, and we were pretty happy with the results!

It's not just his talent with super fun and surprising balloon characters but his adaptive nature and outstanding personality, engaging everyone at the parties/events. I would absolutely recommend him for all types of occasions : private or big birthday parties, festivals, block parties, - anywhere there will be children!! He is one less thing at your party you need to worry about because he is a sure thing! Truly, he is a whole family favorite!!

What a fun performer. I came across him at the Park Ridge Kiwanis annual pancake breakfast, where…read morehe was doing some entertaining mostly for the kids but definitely for the adults as well. It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.

Shared the same venue address with catering/photographer/this senseless lady and all my friends. Everyone except this person found the address. She was supposed to be at my party by 1PM , at 1:20PM she said not able to find the entrance for the venue and all she said was "I'M SORRY". Tried calling/texting/voicemails and got a response for none. AWEFUL PERSON . she ruined my party. If she denies any of this happening, I will add a screenshot of the discussions. Here are pics showing I messaged and called... Things don't go as planned all the time but if it happens on your big day, it will be aweful . Posted another screenshot .... my event was messed up and I want to make it clear that she messed up. Prove me wrong Trish! Try this address from my screenshot and if anyone doesn't find it I would be surprised !!! She is messing up with review on yelp / google and I keep updating it ...
