Jay Jay was FANTASTIC!! I wish my photos of the party would upload, but unfortunately it’s not working. His balloons + bubble show was the perfect addition to my son’s 3rd birthday party. It gave a great level of excitement, engaged children ages 1-10 and helped entertain everyone. I would HIGHLY recommend Jay Jay for any kids birthday party you are hosting, my neighbors were hoping to have him come to our block party, but unfortunately he was already booked, thanks again Jay Jay!

Details: Birthday party • 21 - 40 guests • Younger than 4 years old • 18 or older • 4 - 6 years old • 7 - 10 years old • Simple balloon twisting (e.g., one-balloon dog) • I'm flexible

I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for having Jay Jay entertain at my son's birthday celebration. Even with a smaller group of guests, Jay Jay kept them engaged for the entire time with his magic show and impressive balloon twisting. The children were laughing, playing, and having a blast throughout the party. I would especially like to highlight Jay Jay's punctuality and professional attitude.

Details: Birthday party • I'm flexible • Balloon twisting • 1 - 10 guests • 7 - 10 years old • Private residence (indoors)

We had a great time with jay jay. We loved that he involved the parents and siblings. Lots of cool magic tricks and lots of hands on with the crowd. Such a great experience we definitely recommend. The balloons he made were really cool and kept everyone entertained. Thank you for traveling far for us to make our child’s birthday that much more special
