Introduction: This is a variety show! Tony brings comedy, magic, and ventriloquism to your birthday party! He is a full-time professional doing school assemblies, libraries, and churches on other days, but on Saturdays you're likely to find him entertaining at a birthday party. I love the thought that the children will remember this birthday for years to come. They will get to laugh at the puppet jokes, interact with the animals, and participate in the magic tricks. This makes it truly memorable.

Thank you for the review. I also enjoyed the large tip! Not sure why this is a 3 star review, but would love to know any areas which might need improvement.

I'm the director of a preschool in Davis CA and I have used Tony several times a year for our enrichment program. He has done shows for our preschoolers that are fun and educational. He spends the right amount of time and uses wonderful tools, accessories and puppets. Students, parents and teachers LOVE Tony's performances!!! We will definitely continue to have Tony come to school to enjoy his wonderful shows.

Tony is a fun and engageing puppeteer and a delight to work with. The audience of young children at the KidZone Museum in Truckee sure enjoyed Tony and his puppets!

Tony Borders's reply

I loved your deep sea decor and theme! Can't wait for the new one you told me about! Sounds super exciting for the kids!

Very funny! Nice big puppets. Tony loves the children as well as entertaining them brilliantly - that's what makes him stand out. Thoroughly recommended!!!

Tony has a way with the children and uses the puppets well to share the Gospel with the children.

Thank you, Pastor. I enjoyed the Easter theme and egg hunt at your church. Lots of young kids!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Very simple for private parties! $185 in Sacramento County or $200-225 in surrounding counties. Public shows begin at $300.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was president of the Elk Grove Magician's Circle for two years. I also teach (and learn) at puppet conventions nearly every year. I was coordinator for the International Ventriloquists' Dream Team for two years.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I saw a puppet show at the age of 12 and loved it! Four years later I helped the puppeteer and his wife at my home church. They gave me a puppet and I have used puppetry for education and entertaining ever since.
