If you have a group of people to entertain it can sometimes be a conundrum of what entertainment to hire. A band may be a bad choice as it can be difficult to appease everybody’s musical tastes. Another issue arises with varying ages that make up a group. How do you find something that will entertain everybody? I’m going to explain to you why I believe a balloon twister will make your event one that people will remember for a long time.
The notion of an entertainment being something that the user will never forget is often an empty promise marketers use in vain. I can tell you from experience people never forget the crazy guy that made them anything they wished for out of simple balloons. I’ve had people approach me and say that I made them a balloon dog five years ago and they still remember it like it was yesterday. I am often swamped with people as soon as I begin to make balloon sculptures at fairs and events. What is it that causes this warmth and excitement around the simple balloon animal?
They make people smile, its an instant effect. It brings out the child in everybody, it’s a jolt of happiness as soon as their handed their own unique latex sculpture. It’s even cuter if you draw eyes on it with a sharpie marker.
I once performed a magic show for a group of children and one of them in particular had a troubled upbringing. My show is heavily comedy based however this girl didn’t laugh at all during the whole show when the rest of the children were. At the end I made all the children a balloon animal and when I handed this particular child a cute penguin balloon she produced an enormous smile. This was proof to me that I have an amazing special craft here.
Quite often I am hired for trade shows. The reason for this is because it draws big crowds to a desired area. If an exhibitor is looking to gain exposure quickly then a balloon twister is a great choice. I often suggest to the client that I place the company business card between the legs of a balloon dog. This is a super cute idea that maximizes the chance of that card going into their wallet and not the trashcan.
One of the biggest moments of amazement I see is when I make something the spectator never expected I could make. Many people assume we just animals however our repertoire runs a lot deeper than this. When we make cars, people and the characters of popular movies the public are really taken aback and instantly delighted.
There is a misconception that the balloons we make pop easily. This view exists because most commercially available balloon modeling kits are made up of poorly produced balloons. Professional balloon modelers use the Qualatex brand which will only pop if the artist makes a mistake.
For you next act – make sure it’s a balloon artist. You might also want to check this Childrens entertainer basingstoke out.
