James is the perfect artist you would want for your kid's birthday party. We had him for our son's 2nd birthday and he was wonderful. Engaged all the kids, made really interesting balloon arts. He stayed longer than the time we booked him for just to make sure all the kids have a balloon toy. Really appreciate it. read more

I've been a client with JamesZini from the very beginning and boy has he come a long way! We recently hired him for our "Bring Your Kids to Work" event at our company and he didn't disappoint. He definitely has the patience and endurance to handle a room full of kids of different ages. He highly entertained them and the kids were thrilled with the variety of balloons he was able to create. Highly recommend! =) read more

This is the second time we worked with James and he was just as great as he was the first time! He came to our personal residence (15 minutes early) to help us do balloon creations for our son's first birthday. Everyone loved him - even all the adults told us he was so great with all the kids. We had about 50 kids and he was over for 2 hours and even stayed a little later to finish accommodating all of the kid's request. Hands down the best balloon guy out there and we will always use him and recommend him for parties. Thanks James :) read more

James was amazing! His magic show captivated the kids as well as the adults. It was super hot outside, but he made the best of it. His balloon creations were a big hit too! Very friendly, professional, good with the kids, talented, and just plain awesome! My 6 year old had the BEST party because of him!!! read more

Hands down. Great magician and guy. He was able to entertain kids of all ages. We highly recommend.

James was fantastic! He was punctual, professional, and extremely talented. He entertained over twenty children, all under 5 years old, with his magic show and had them captivated! We've hired different magicians for my kids' birthday parties for the past 4 years and he's been the best one. I also want to thank him for being so patient with the kids who were demanding balloon animals and swords. He clearly has a lot of experience with young children. Some of them shamelessly crowded out the other kids for their second or third animal, and James was considerate enough to be sure that every kid was treated fairly first. read more

James is a great magician and balloon artist!! On top of that he is very patient with kids in what can sometimes be a noisy and busy environment (kids parties).

I attended my cousin's first birthday (I'm 28) and I was amazed on how Jameszini really was a one-stop shop for entertainment! First he had the magic show then the balloon making then when there was still time and while everyone was lingering eating cake, he walked around making balloon figures for the adults as well. The tricks kept me and the rest of the adult table entertained. Also he has a way to get the kids all excited and engaged. Would definitely recommend to friends. read more

James performed at our annual homeowners association social event. His approximately hour long magic show enthralled all of the children in attendance. After the show he enthusiastically selected winners of gift cards and then posed for pictures with the winners. Before leaving James also posed for pictures with several of the children in the audience. He was friendly and outgoing with everyone. read more

We had James attend my son's first birthday party and he was AMAZING! He is extremely responsive which is always a nice feel good when you are trying to gather information and very professional. We had our son's first birthday party in a local neighborhood park in San Jose and he had no problem making that happen. He arrived on time, entertained the kids and made them all so happy! We had quite a large crowd - 32 kids and he was there for 2 full hours. He was energetic the entire time and all smiles. All the kids LOVED their balloons. He was extremely kind and happily made extra balloon animals for any of the balloons that had popped. I would defiantly have James come to another one of our parties because he made it so magical. We only had him make balloons but I think next time I would even add a magic show. Thanks so much James, you ROCK! read more

James was fantastic! We hired him for a magic show / balloon animal package. My son was having his first big birthday party (turning 6) and requested a magician. I had no idea where to start so I sifted through the Yelp reviews and everyone is really accurate with their feedback. I didn't know what to expect, but he was extremely professional and easy to work with. He had great follow up and the day of, he had the kids (and adults) rolling. It was really entertaining! The balloons he did were really awesome - like art :) Everyone has been telling me what a fantastic party it was and all I did was hire James and make a costco run! lol Highly recommend him!!

Thank you James for making my son's birthday party so memorable! The joy you gave him and his friends was so much fun and their smiles spoke more, than a thousand words could express.

JamesZini made our Birthday Party a huge success! He came on time, helped us pick a spot for the show (it was at a public park), and kept the kids engaged with his fun magic tricks.The kids had a blast and so did the parents. The balloons were awesome too, he patiently asked each child to pick the colors and chose the characters. read more

JamesZini is the man! He has an amazing connection with his audience that is uncommon to most performers we have encountered. The kids absolutely loved his magic show and they all agreed that he is the best magician ever! His balloon twisting skills was great as well.

I had James for a magic show and balloon art for 2 hours at an Apple corporate holiday party for adults and kids. He did a wonderful, hour long magic show and I was super surprised he held most kids' attention for the full hour. They were laughing and super attentive the whole time. Kids were laughing and James got the kids involved in his show. He then walked around the event space and made balloons for an hour-hour and a half, making anything the kids had requested. The balloons were fabulous! The kids were very happy as well as the adults! He catered to our audience of both adults and children for his magic show. James was a pleasure to have at our event and I look forward to having him again in the future! read more
