Tammy was wonderful. She showed a lot of energy and managed to entertain nine 10 year olds. she was funny and interacted with all of the guest. Tammy had many face designs for the girls to choose from. All of girls enjoyed the balloon twisting and face painting. I would definitely order her services again.

Tammy's Twisted Balloons & Face Painting

Tammy helped entertain the children at my son's first birthday party yesterday. She did balloon twisting and face painting and everyone loved her! She engaged very well with the children, was very creative in her balloon twisting and her face painting was excellent! We were very happy with her contribution to the party and the children each left with many of her balloon creations and smiling painted faces ! Thank you, Tammy!

From Thumbtack Customer

Tony was very adaptable for the two performances we hired him for. 1. Our church had a family celebration indoors on January 1. Tony and his sidekick make the team of "Up Down Go". They were lighthearted, engaging with the audience, quickly put everyone of all age at ease, got us involved, laughing, etc. We asked them to teach the children how to juggle at the end. They brought special equipment (sets of scarves) for that and the children were happy. 2. A group of ladies (wives at a Masonic gathering) enjoyed Tony's entertainment and banter. We asked for a Q and A session at the end, and it was interesting. He also gave us a juggling lesson. At the end, 3 of the ladies expressed interest in hiring him for other later events in their respective towns. He communicates well and efficiently in making arrangements. One impressive fact is that he practices his juggling for two to three hours a days, and we get to enjoy the results. He has a respectful attitude and clean, groomed appearance.
