I'm an award winning Magician, Balloon Twister, Clown, and Santa. Having over 30 years experience as an entertainer has given me the skills to provide characters and entertainment for any event or occasion.
I've worked in local TV, radio, and theater in Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.
I was a magic consultant for the movie "Drawing Down the Moon".
I have current criminal and abuse clearances.
I like to quote L. Frank Baum. "To please a child is a sweet and lovely thing that warms the heart and brings it's own reward".

Great to work with! Came early and stayed later than asked! Very polite and made it fun for the kids. Made multiple balloons per child which was extremely nice since my daughter has a broken collarbone and couldn’t do much else at the school carnival. He was also able to accommodate 200 students with hardly ever a line forming. Will definitely love to work with him again!

Jerry went above and beyond to make our party special. He is very talented and had a great personality. The kids, ages 6 months to 8 years old all loved the balloons he made. We had several other activities, games and a water slide and Jerry was the favorite among all of the kids. Highly recommend.

Jerry was a hit at a recent birthday party (Kindergarten). There were about 20 kids and they kept coming back and back for all kinds of balloon fun. There was steady traffic for a full two hours, with kids going back and getting 3, 4 or even more balloon shapes. Jerry was professional and engaged with the kids. Highly recommend!!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a base price for the things I offer. I then factor in what gas, tolls, and parking will run. I also factor in driving time.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start by having a consultation with the client to get as much information about the event in order to tailor a program to fit their needs.
Once I'm booked for an event, I like to send an invoice/contract through Paypal. I then require a deposit.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started performing by singing at church events while still in elementary school.
I started in magic when my mother bought "The Cub Scout Book Of Magic" for my 10th birthday.
