Kids enjoyed the magic show, balloontwisting and the face painting. Thanks for great service. I’d recommend Magic Company to all my friends.

I was looking for a magic/balloon guy for my 1 year old birthday party. I have reached out to multiple entertainers around Plano area. After carefully reading the reviews and check out photos (making sure the entertainers aren’t too creepy or scary looking), Wacky Wally’s profile and pictures stood out so I decided to reach out to him for our event. He messaged me back “My name is Wacky Wally, I’m a children’s entertainer and I have been entertaining kids for over 17 years! I would love to provide my balloontwisting entertainment at your event on Saturday December 9, 2023. My balloontwisting sculptures includes superheroes, animals, swords, holiday balloons and much, much more!”. So I decided to hire him for the event. I checked back with him a week before the event to see if he still had our event on his schedule. He assured me that everything was fine and he would be there.
On the day of our event, he sent another entertainer to our event. No where on his profile or throughout our conversations that he mentioned he has other entertainers working for him. The whole time I thought this was an one man show business. To be honest, his assistant is quite looking scary and had made 2 little kids cried because they were terrified! Not only that, he kept calling my baby OLIVIA multiple times…”happy birthday OLIVIA” which is not her name! It felt quite uncomfortable.
I reached out to Wacky Wally. He said “I apologize that I did not discuss that with you in the beginning. I do have a few other entertainers that work for me throughout the year especially during the holiday season as it gets pretty busy. So I’m very sorry about that but I hope you and everyone else enjoyed the magic show and balloontwisting entertainment”. I then replied back with my concern and frustration. Haven’t heard back from him so I’m reaching out to Thumbstack at the moment and they are going to help me solve out this false advertising from Wacky Wally!
Btw, if he was busy on the day of our event since it’s holiday season, he could’ve said so and I would be fine looking for another entertainer.
I’m very disappointed with this service and will never hire this Wacky Wally again! I have attached a picture of his assistant that he sent to my event!
