MY STORY
My adventure in storytelling with balloons began just before the pandemic. Initially, under the guidance of the fantastic Annie Banannie, I was preparing my show when COVID hit. However, this delay turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Instead of feeling discouraged, I took the opportunity to learn a new aspect of entertainment—magic for kids.
Thanks to the teachings of Barry Mitchell, Christopher Barnes, Buster Balloon, and so many more, I’ve added a silly and fun magic show to my repertoire. As a result, I have incorporated magic into my storytelling performances, which has been a great success, as well as teaching everyone to make their own balloon figure at the end of the show.
After a two-year delay, my shows have finally taken flight. Moreover, they have been greatly enhanced by the input from these Masters of Magic and others I’ve met virtually. Consequently, my performances blend balloons, magic, songs, dance, books, educational tidbits, and pure silliness into a well-rounded and delightful show.
Remember, my balloon storytelling show is perfect for school events, library Summer Reading Programs, daycares (special non-latex show available), camps, and more. So don’t miss out on the opportunity to create lasting memories for your Summer Reading Program or any event!
