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.

Unbelievable talent! I cannot say enough great things about Allison at Rock Your Body Art. She was…read moreamazing and worth every penny! We hired her for our annual summer party to entertain the kids and she did a great job with them. She made the girls look like fairy princesses with face paint and glitter.

She did an Avatar, Misfit logo, glow in the dark skeleton, the US flag, arm tattoos, henna, the Chicago Bears, everything. She was supposed to be there for 2 hours and she stayed for 5 hours. Allison was the hit of the party and we're hiring her for next year. She was simply amazing!

11/8 UPDATE: it's reported that the balloons still look brand new three weeks later!…read more 10/25 With the COVID world the way it is, I wasn't sure I'd make it to Chicago to celebrate my sister's big birthday. So I started searching for things we could have delivered to her house. I was not expecting to find such unique and fun ballon options! I contacted ChiTwist for a quote and Clayton quickly responded. We nailed down what I was looking for in record time. I'm sure it took an hour or less from quote to payment. The night before the delivery, I got a text from Clayton asking if I'd like the display on an indoor base since rainy weather was headed that way. Yes! I really appreciated that. It was perfect (and honestly I thought they were all on a base, not a yard stake). Good news, I got to see this fantastic display in person and everyone loved it. It was bigger and better than I imagined. My dad is still talking about it 5 days later.

They were nothing but accommodating and would definitely book them again. Highly recommended!
