Despite that minor hiccup, it all went up hill from there. My daughter originally met spiderman at jump zone months prior and since demanded he be at her birthday. After he showed up he gave her special attention at the front before coming into the party, then he did pictures with her, and then came in to meet her friends. He made her an honorary super hero and have her a mask and cape which was so cute. Then played games for the next 45 minutes and all the kids were so into it, I had to interrupt to ensure we had time for spiderman to sing Happy birthday and cut the cake. He ended with additional photos with all the other kids and my daughter hasn't stopped taking about spiderman since! First time using them because the prior parties at went through a princess company but I must say they did a great job and I will for sure use them again.

We booked Ms. Rachel and it was a terrible experience. I was beyond disappointed. The character…read morethat showed up barely talked she did not talk to any of the children and did not smile. She didn't say "hi" when she arrived: she looked scared to be there. She played a "game" with the kids by taking out a flamingo and telling one kid to hide it and asked me to help her talk to the children. The kids couldn't hear her because she was speaking so low. When it was time to "face paint" she stood there helpless until my sister in law asked her if she needed something and she said she didn't have warm water. But I wonder if she hadn't asked would she have attempted to try. The only time she seemed enthusiastic and talked was when she was going and it was time to ask for her money. I am truly disappointed and feel it was such a waste of money.

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.
